Prints Charming: From Star Wars To Sabrina To Snake Eyes
Consider this an increasingly regular feature looking at comic books that have gone to second prints or more. Now, it is worth remembering that some publishers plan second prints automatically, whether they are needed or not and will often just run extra first print copies in the initial run, set them aside and put a second print cover on them. It can be a marketing strategy, showing that there is confidence in the performance of the book, get a headline or three and use it to persuade retailers to up their orders of subsequent books. And comics news reporting sites become implicit in that market distortion every time we run them as a story.
Star Wars #2 is going to a second printing.
As is the finally published Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina #2.
And so are Jem And The Holograms #1 and #2.
GI Joe #212 and #213 are both going to second print, featuring the Death Of Snake Eyes
While DC Comics are reprinting Gotham Academy #1, Grayson #1 and Batgirl #35 together in a one dollar special for June.
And well before it's published, DC Comics are already lining up a second print of Batman #40.
