Joker's Daughter #1 is a phenomenon. A comic book, not a restricted variant, but one available in every comic store in the land (albeit it allocated). And

DC Comics writes; THANK YOU FROM THE CO-PUBLISHERS Dear Retailers: We’d like to take a moment to thank you for all your support for DC’s Villains Month.

3D covers allocated, severely in some cases, retailers made plans, got the 2D replacements and got used to the new status quo. Then there were more allocations They winced, but found a way Joker's Daughter seemed the hot ticket, heavily allocated, and advance copies selling for up to $130 on eBay. Retailers have received the following note; Due[...]

You've been severely allocated on your 3D covers for Villains Month from DC Comics But at least you now know what you're getting. Think again.

An advance sale of  the 3D cover of Joker's Daughter #1, out in a week-and-a-bit, for $130.01. But there are three ongoing sales of Joker's Daughter, one at $62 with a day and a half to go, that I'm thinking that something very silly is going on here. Remember, there will be tens of thousands of copies[...]

The London news yesterday included a story that a building in the city centre, nicknamed the Walkie Talkie, has been causing havoc due to the curvature of the windows acting as a magnifying glass and a) frying eggs, b) melting Jaguars and c) setting carpets on fire. I wouldn't like to buy my DC comics anywhere[...]

These spectacular 3d covers needed to be printed MONTHS ahead of the time for a timely shipping They look great, but the trade off is to have them print way before assembling the creators team for the interior. This is Obviously not a typical DC behavior toward their talents and I personally always been treated with[...]

They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you - Philip

Okay, you may have noticed that there have been eBay sales of the 3D cover of Dark Knight #23.4 Joker's Daughter #1 hitting over $30 on eBay.

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! But in this case, it's full of retailers trying to make up for being allocated on the 3D Villains Month covers for September and trying[...]

DC Comics has told retailers; To give retailers enough time to collect orders from their customers we will resolicit the VILLAINS MONTH 3-D MOTION

So, the news of the allocated 3D covers for DC's Villain's Month in September and the release of the first round of 2D Standard Covers have dominated the top of the advance reorder chart, as retailers try to catch up on their numbers, also safe in the knowledge that they are all returnable And Joker[...]

The DC Villains Month 3D Cover fiasco took an interesting twist. We've reported how DC have had serious problems with fulfilling retailer orders of the lenticular covered comics in September from DC, with stores reporting serious allocations with 20% of orders received common, with some as low as 7%. We're also hearing that there may have been[...]

DC Comics has been answering questions about the heavily allocated 3D Covers for Villain's Month in September Retailers, in many cases, have received far less than they ordered, far less than they normally get, and are making up the numbers with reduced price standard covers.

But the Final Order Cut Off date for the first week's worth or issues is today.

As Diamond and DC Comics close for the weekend, retailers are now being told exactly how many of the Villains Month 3D Cover titles they will be receiving And they're not happy. In some cases, I've been told of retailers getting 5% of the amount of a title they received, while on other titles, getting the[...]

DC announced 3D motion covers on all their September titles, one shots starring villainous characters, and each one given the subtitle of a popular book with an issue number and a decimal point Even if the book wasn't associated with that villain. So instead of Batgirl #23, for September we get Dark Knight #23.1: The Ventriloquist[...]

As Bleeding Cool reported earlier today, following up on an earlier report, DC Comics have now confirmed to all retailers the following points; The print run for the 3D covers for September had to be[...]

At the Boston Comicon, currently underway, I understand that DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio has been heard telling retailers that orders on the September "Villain's Month" titles have been allocated up to 40% in some cases.
