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

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
southern bastards and bad dreams look good to me.
I plan to have copies of Souther Bastards signed on FCBD. Will have more info closer to the date. Jason Aaron will be at my LCS along with Paul Pope, a personal favorite of mine. Also Frank Barbiere of Five Ghosts/White Suits will be there. Am going to try to have signed Paul Pope books available as well
I picked up two copies of Bad Dreams.. looking pretty interesting and I think it’s gonna be the sleeper of the week, likely very low print run. Each store I hit up only had a handful of copies.
I actually have another sleeper for the week. Will post it later, forgot it came out this week!! This book already has a media deal.
I read Southern Bastards last night, awesome read. If you happened to skip this book, go pick it up, it’s worth every penny.
