A month 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 JLU #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. The rationale is that retailers are likely to order conservatively of certain titles below market demand, so they can safely sell out. By incentivising them to stock higher numbers for lower costs, they can make sure there are enough copies in store to meet an increased demand. And so, while Absolute Wonder Woman #2 outsold Justice League Unlimited #1 in stores this week, it was not by much and by having copies in store, retailers were able to sell lots of them as well. Here are a few other titles that DC Comics has been doing this to of late. Including matching Absolute Wonder Woman #3 to orders of DC All In Special #1.

Match Aquaman #1 orders to Absolute Power: Task Force VII #1 and purchase purchase additional bundles of 25 for $1 each.
