Retailers Massively Increase Their Advance Orders For Southern Bastards #2

SouthernBastards_02Greetings 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 unanticipated desire!

Southern Bastards #1 seems to have done the business., with retailers rapidly upping their orders for the second issue. New covers for Avengers and Sandman Overture have incentivised retailers to get a few more, and retailers are also upping their orders of the new Warren Ellis comic from Image, Trees, ahead of release. Reaction to Futures End at Free Comic Book Day is also looking positive as retailers respond to readers adding the comic to their pull list.
