Some Added Incentives for Family Tree #2 and Undiscovered Country #2

Published Mon, 18 Nov 2019 10:30:21 -0600

Image Comics are running up the flagpole a couple of incentives for retailers ordering titles going to FOC today. That would include Family Tree #2 – retailers who order at least 70% of their orders for Family Tree #1 will qualify for a 25% free overship of their order for issue #2. Which means they will basically get the same amount of copies for #2 as they did for #1 – but for a quarter discount. While for Undiscovered Country #2, retailers who order at least 80% of their orders for Undiscovered Country #1 will receive full returnability on their orders for Issue #2.

The second issue drop off is a common experience for comic book publishers. Comic retailers are a naturally conservative lot, recognise that a percentage of first issue buyers will decide not to buy a second issue, and so drop numbers as a matter of course – even if there may be customer demand they haven't recognised. This is a way for Image Comics to show to retailers that there may be greater demand for these titles'second issues than they may have otherwise believed…
