Modern Comics Heating Up (Those With Potential Too) (Part 1)

ok when I say a lot…its a lot for my little tiny place. I had 40 copies of #1 and 25 of #2, and I think maybe 10 or 15 each of 3 and 4. All reduced to 5 each issue.

That definitely does not sound right. I wonder if they (Diamond) are using a formula for these.

No stray dogs at my LCS today. Not sure they ordered any additional printings though.

Stray dogs were a ghost in my area. Not one shop had it, pretty sure no one ordered these additional printings.

My copy of White is is also showing as not picked either. I added on 2/2. I figured I would get one since I was so early. I guess I was wrong. Wonder if anyone’s copy shows in process?

Yeah, it was on FOC for a short time and before the crazy run, so 3rd and 4th printings didn’t catch most store’s attention. I managed to grab 2 of each, but only because I have a store with 4 locations in the Phoenix area so they order everything. No other store had any and I checked 6 others.

Let’s just say after doing the math for White #1 we’re getting less than 0.25% of what we ordered haha.

That’s the problem with things that announce super tight allocations pre-FOC. You have people ordering thousands of copies KNOWING they won’t possibly get them, or stores ordering tens of thousands of copies knowing it won’t come through to try to bump numbers. I have no idea if Diamond took that into account or just gave every account that placed orders the same number.

That’s also the problem with shitty publishing companies…ala Matt Pizzolo…oh. it’s Matteo now.

any idea if the allocations were based on intial ordering or after the not one not two but three foc dates ?

I have no idea.

“Faust,” was such an edgy comic, not sure how the television show could work without toning a lot down. The movie adaptation (that oddly came out before the comic was even finished years later) is mediocre at best. Moments of cool stuff and tons of lame stuff, so at least the show will better, I’d assume.

I think I still have mine that I bought when I was way to young to be buying that type of comic. I would love to sell them, hope there is a spike.

Maybe they saw the success of invinvcible and figured R rated animation super hero stuff can work

True. Lots of animated blood here AND genitals…

Star Wars bounty hunters 14, I just had a sale for $9.99 each x4 (I give ebayers 15% off when they buy more).

Hopefully this will continue cause I have more of them in my personal stash!

Be on the lookout for Moon Girl later issues.

Particularly 32, 34 and 47.

Doubt you’ll find the 32 1st print as it was hot out of the gate (1st app. of Kingpins daughter + cover) but it has a second print that May still be sitting around.

@D-Rog The 2nd print of 32 was in Walmart packs as well.

This is true, I got a second printing in a Walmart pack. Sold it awhile ago.

#47 only had about 5000 copies printed
