Ben 10 Comic Book Gets Over 112,000 Orders For Its First Issue

Ben 10 Comic Book Gets Over 112,000 Orders For Its First Issue by Joe Casey and Robert Carey from Dynamite Entertainment

As the new comic book series Ben 10 #1 gets a second printing, Dynamite Entertainment gets in touch to tell us that, including the first and second printings, it has received over 112,000 orders from comic book stores. Breaking that down, the first printing had 82,000 orders, including 16,000 copies of retailer-exclusive covers, 13,000 copies of Mystery Blind Bags, and 53,000 copies of the open-order covers and tiered incentive covers. They added another 10,000 copies to the print run for reorders, which all got hoovered up, and a second printing has now added a further 20,000 to that total.

And now it's time for Ben 10 #2 to be ordered by comic book stores, and it has already received 83,000 orders for its first printing, including tiered covers and blind bags, but without any retailer exclusives. For the very first time in Dynamite Entertainment's history, issue 2 has had more orders before publication than issue 1. The second print of #1 will be available on the same day as the first print of #2, the 3rd of June.

Nick Barrucci, CEO and owner of Dynamite, tells us, "I'm incredibly grateful that the fans and retailers are happy with the launch and it's rewarding to see the hard work that Joe Casey, Robert Carey, the Man of Action team Steve Seagle, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and the rest of the creative and editorial team has created a comic series that fans love… With the first appearance of Cannonbolt, and more reveals in coming issues, fans won't want to miss any chapter. Even more news on this hit series is right around the corner, with first appearances in every issue, another Man of Action creator taking his turn writing, and more!"
