Lumberjanes Trade Sells Out Of 3rd Printing Before 2nd Is Released

Boom!

So, the knew the Lumberjanes comic book was successful, as far as smaller publisher indy-style books go. But ow the bookstores have got hold of it and it's a whole new ball game.

Last month, Bleeding Cool reported that the first printing of the Lumberjanes trade had sold out before release and based on early Amazon rankings it would end up on some bestsellers lists. It did indeed debut on the New York Times Bestsellers Graphic Novels list at #7, but won't be back for a while.

Because all the copies available were allocated before it shipped. Before the first printing arrived at their distributors, Boom Studios fired off a second printing overseas equal to 75% of the first print run. When it became clear that there would be too long of a time period between printings and the quantity would not be sufficient, Boom initiated a third printing equal to half  of the initial domestic print run  to bridge the gap.

My understanding is that there are now backorders in excess of that third print run and it to will be sold out the minute it arrives.

Wonder if that will be enough to get it back on the New York Times Bestsellers list? Or if they'll ave to wait for the fourth printing?
