But one quick Google search and a public Twitter account later, and an entire[...]

It's no secret that Lumberjanes is one of Boom's hottest titles right now, is the envy of certain rival publishers who have talked to me, has sold over 20,000 copies and the second issue has sold out of its first printing at an even faster clip.

We've been telling everyone that Boom! Studios' Lumberjanes has the potential to be a huge hit since it was first announced The first issue sold out with a print run three times its initial orders Well, it appears that the heat on Lumberjanes wasn't a one off fluke as the second issue is now sold out at Diamond. Whether the flurry[...]

Always mention the monkeys. From Justice League United #1 … is it me or is this the closest we've had to the golden years of Giffen/DeMatteis for years? Although there are other comics that can challenge that, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… One punch.

And from Marvel, All-New Doop, Iron Fist and Ultimates, as well as the new Flash Gordon from Dynamite and Lumberjanes from Boom! – the latter of which could well be a big sleeper hit… And the week after that?

But the Iron Man #1 relaunch may have benefited just from art previews – it doesn't have any retailer promotions to help push those issue one numbers. It's also worth noting the increase in advance orders for Lumberjanes #1 Though I don' t think it's going to be nearly enough… TOP 25 ADVANCE REORDER COMICS/GRAPHIC NOVELS/TPs (RETAIL) Product Price Publisher DEADPOOL[...]
