Support new comics !
This column is here to help promote brand new comic book series.
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 6 days BEFORE release date!

My winner of the week was Hacktivist, too bad it’s not an ongoing series.
I liked Deadly Class but it sort of reminded too much of that Angelina Jolie movie, Wanted. Young guy gets recruited to become an assassin, etc.. slightly different plots but still very similar as well. Unless Remender works some story telling magic, I can’t say how long I’ll continue to pick it up.
I read Hacktivist this morning. It was well done. The government got involved a little too quickly for belief but it was good. Have not read Deadly Class yet. Will later.
