Article by comic book historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
Terry has possibly the best track record on Earth for picking the next hot comic books that go up in value.
This article is immensely useful in gauging what retailers have underordered and what is going to sell out fast.
This column is here to help promote every new comic book series debuting this week.
Pictured are the 3 new series that are selling out the fastest at Diamond !
This weekly article shows how popular the titles are and how close they are to selling out at Diamond.
This will give retailers and collectors a heads up with a reminder of books you want to make sure you get immediately!!
Sometimes books don’t sell out immediately so its worth taking a look back at series that came out in the past few months !
Comics can sell out very quickly so some titles on this list will be more valuable instantly the day of release !
Keep in mind that with 1500 comic stores if even just 20% of stores re-ordered just 1 copy each that would be 300 more copies sold instantly so a book can easily sell out within minutes if the book gets some buzz and/or good response from readers!
So many comics on the list that still have copies left are going to eventually all sell out.
Diamond data of copies still available listed below compiled the week BEFORE release date!

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
The diversification continues.
Ragnarok is selling really well. A set of 1 and the subscription variant are going for $38.
I’m not seeing those prices. Where?
I will pull it up after I get out of a meeting.
I’m seeing it sell for 4-5$ per cover and 25$ for the SDCC cover.
looks like the Pepoy variant has lost its luster. I still love them, going to put together sets of all 5 covers eventually.
I love them too. I have been buying multiples of them anyway
Somone over at G+ said there was only going to be 300 copies of the Afterlife with Archie 666 variant. That is going to be a sought after book if that number proves correct. I haven’t been able to verify this anywhere.
I saw that but can’t confirm. Got an email today from a friend that I will be getting a copy so I am happy.

ok, 300 can’t be correct. I saw a tweet from @archicomics that said there were still convention exclusives available 6 hours ago.
I wonder if they broke them up to 300 a day which would be 1200
They will sell well in the future. #1 underprinted. #5 over printed. #6 underprinted. #7 probably over printed.
they long long delay with #5 didn’t help and gave everyone a chance to order up.
#1 still has luster?
This weeks Afterlife with Archie has the Sabrina preview
$$
Awesome. And came out before Afterlife With Archie 666.
Anyone snag any copies of the self published Humans #0 at SDCC? May be a really nice book to own very soon. Run has been picked up by Image for a November release. Issue #0 is still available on the Humans site at http://humansforlife.com/STORE for just $5 an issue and $3 shipping combined. Biker apes, I’m in. I’d have to guess that a self published run as this has got to have a rather small print run.
552 remain on the site of this print run at the moment.
