  1. I just picked up more #2 and #3 first prints of Divinity. The 2nd and 3rd prints are selling well also. Divinity #1 4th print hits the shelves next week along with #2 2nd print.

      1. On top of my pickups, I also got some in the mail I ordered from midtown along with 2 x #1 1:10 Variants.

  2. So, Batman 40 combo, they used to post those numbers back when they were higher until they decreased to point where they fell off of comichron’s reporting. Obviously, it’s less the 2,515. Just how much less is the question. Is there a way to find out?

    1. I don’t think it was widely announced it was going to happen until it hit the stands. Most of my local shops only have a handful of these anyways…
