Secret Wars, Walking Dead And Strange Fruit Top Advance Reorders

STK677860Greetings 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!

Massive interest has returned to The Walking Dead after last issue's decapitation, as retailers also push up their orders of Secret Wars, Strange Fruit, Batman, Island and Descender based on sales of the most recent issues. There is also much increased anticipation from retailers on the launches of JLA: Gods And Monsters, DC Comics Bombshells, Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl and Beauty – what with that special condom promotion!

And for comics already published Invader Zim, the last issue of the Walking Dead and Civil War seem to be the biggest beneficiaries of sales right now…
