Marvel Comics has cancelled all retailer orders for the 616 Day Mystery Bags featuring Doctor Doom, and shops will have to reorder them fast!
Article Summary
- Marvel has canceled all retailer orders for the 616 Day Marvel Mystery Bag, forcing comic shops to reorder immediately.
- A technical issue at PRH hid the correct retailer discount, wiping prior orders and shifting the final order cutoff to today.
- The 616 Day Doctor Doom mystery bag still releases June 16, packed with Doomquest #1, a Kirby mask, and facsimiles.
- Some 616 Day bags may include ultra-rare sketch covers, while select retailers also get a special Thank You Edition.
Bleeding Cool broke the news out of this year's ComicsPRO, in a presentation by former Marvel SVP David Gabriel about the 616 Day Marvel Mystery Bag for June. With him telling us "These are going to have an extremely limited print run. This mystery bag will feature the black-and-white pencil version of Doomquest #1… each of the bags will have a foil Doctor Doom mask, and then we will also have one of three different Doom facsimile stories, which will be a special limited print run and limited selling window for these to test them out."
Marvel Comics has had to cancel retailer orders for their 616 Day Marvel Mystery Bag featuring Doctor Doom, as due to a technical issue, the correct retailer discount as not showing in Penguin Random House's systems. As a result, the FOC date has been moved to today with the regular discount, and all existing orders placed for the previous FOC of the 27th of April have been deleted. The comic will still be released as usual for retailers to sell the day before New Comic Day, from Tuesday, the 16th of June, known as 616 Day, celebrating the dimensional nomenclature of the Marvel Universe, as invented by Dave Thorpe, Alan Moore and Alan Davis for Captain Britain, then taken into the Marvel US titles with Excalibur in the second run by Alan Davis.
