Boom's Buffy The Vampire Slayer Dominates Advance Reorders

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! And courtesy of stats from Diamond Comic Distributors.

Boom's Buffy The Vampire Slayer Dominates Advance Reorders

You can no longer buy the Dark Horse version. But that's okay, retailers are going all in on the Boom Studios Buffy The Vampire Slayer comic book reboot. With three different covers taking the top three spots, with three other covers in the top twenty-five advance reorders. Retailers continue to mop up all the Batman Damned #1 signed copies with a cover price that's half the price the unsigned version goes for on eBay, and numbers jump for Batman Damned #3 as well. Stanley Lau's cover helps Batgirl orders and Boom's Avant-Guards has a strong uptick head of launch as well.
