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 2 days BEFORE release date!

what does AR mean?
Ar is marvels augmented reality ap
Ask retailer in this context. It says it at the end of his paragraph before the listings.
Ha I didn’t catch what they were referring to. Yes. Any listing with an AR will be priced differently from retailer to retailer. I hear some stores even sell their variants at cover price, but I have yet to find one.
So that’s what that is 😛 I often see “MR” as well in my lcbs’ listings, but I don’t have an idea what the heck it is.
ahh ok thanks
MR means mature readers
What are your thoughts for spec-ing on the new Dredd Underbelly reprint coming out next week? Do you think it will have a higher print run than the first?
Probably not but we likely won’t know until next month. I’m surprised it’s still selling for $25 or more. I actually held onto mine when I intended to sell it.
I missed out on the 1st print so I decided to order 2 2nd prints cause it looks like they are going for $20-$30 already.
Yeah, I picked up 4 copies of the 2nd print myself to flip. Might keep one just to go along with my 1st print, since I’m getting attached to it now.. 😉
