Creator-Owned Books Top Advance Reorders, Kill Or Be Killed, Walking Dead, Skybourne, Eclipse And Paper Girls

Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market. Where retailers try to increase their orders of certain comics ahead of sale. Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire! As supplied to retailers on Diamond Daily.

DC are suffering in the advance reorder lists, as no retailers seems to feel the need to up their DC orders much at Final Order Cut-Off date. But it's not that much to Marvel's gain. The success of the first issue of Brubaker and Phillips' Kill Or Be Killed has seen numbers racked up for the second issue. The connecting covers for Walking Dead has seen the second one get a bump. A preview released for Skybourne saw a lot of retailers notice the book for the first time and get Frank Cho's new comic onto their ordering list. There's much anticipation for the release of Eclipse as well, and Paper Girls continues to be the comic that surprises retailers how well it does month in and month out.

As for collection, retailers just keep on upping their numbers on Killing Joke…
