DC Comics Wants Shops To Order More Aquaman Than Gotham City Sirens

DC Comics wants their comic book retailers to order more copies of Aquaman #2 than they did of Gotham City Sirens #2...

A few months ago, I wrote an article entitled "DC Wants Justice League Unlimited To Outsell Absolute Wonder Woman", in which I looked at the incentives being offered by DC Comics to comic book retailers ordering both titles to let retailers order excess issues of Justice League Unlimited #1 for a dollar each if they matched their standard orders to those of Absolute Wonder Woman. Some people saw that as some kind of evidence that DC Comics was trying to "do down" Wonder Woman against Justice League for reasons of misogyny rather than what it actually was, an attempt to get retailers to bump up their orders of certain titles of DC Comics. And it is something they have continued to do with a number of titles. And now the upcoming Aquaman #2.

Retailers who match their Aquaman #2 orders to their orders of last year's Gotham City Sirens #2 will then be able to buy additional bundles of 25 comics for $1 each, $25 the pack. Which might make stocking the comic heavily could really pay off, and maybe even lead to a few deals here or there. It all depends how many copies of Gotham City Sirens #2 the shop ordered…
