Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List for 1/16/14

Each week retailers have to have their orders in for comics coming out weeks and months in advance. Sometimes they have enough to cover demand, and sometimes demand shifts, with fans and speculators clamoring for more copies of a book that may be big. This is where the Diamond Comics Advanced reorder list comes in, it is the books shops are going back to order more of before the comics come out. Needless to say, this is good insight into what may become hot. Each week we run the list. Here is this past weeks list:
