AppWatch: Chris Sims theorises that Marvel is using their iPad/iPod App as a way to make recent comics available without having to run up a second or third print. Marvel's print-only-to-initial-order policy was something introduced in the Jemas era but hasn't been true for about five years now. Nevertheless, they're probably not quite as profligate with their printing as DC. And, as yesterday proved, Marvel are still keen to publish second prints when there's a clear demand, as in Death Of Dracula. But for other books where there's a case for a second print, but not a definite one, he's got a point. Citing Enter The Heroic Age and Young Allies as books that sold out, without second prints, and now available for purchase through the Marvel App.
