Batman #92 Beats Death Metal #1 in Advance Reorders
The Advance Reorders chart, this week and last week, reflects that all of the DC Comics orders through Diamond were dropped to zero, meaning every retailer had to amend their order on FOC from scratch. So while this normally records increases ahead of FOC, in this case, it records all of DC's orders in their entirety. Leading DC Comics to domainate the list. So whike it may not be useful, for comparing DC to other publishers, it is handy for comparing one DC comic book to another. Batman #92 had a quarter of a million copies originally ordered, so it's return to the top spot may be ezpect, but it was up against the big event launch written by Batman writer James Tynion's old teacher Scott Snyder? Has the student bested the master? Only if you don't count that Death Metal had many more covers than Batman and if you added them up, maybe Death Metal would come out ahead? Maybe even the Joker 80th Super Spectacular too? It may be notable that, despite being a bookstore-focused title that Lois Lane: Friendship Challenge did pretty well too.
Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market. Where retailers try to increase their orders of certain comics ahead of sale. Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire!
