This article is immensely useful in determining what retailers have under ordered and what is going to sell out fast.
This column is here to help promote every new comic book series debuting this week.
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 the week BEFORE release date!

The S.H.I.E.LD. Deadpool 1 per store sketch variant will do nice for those who are lucky enough to find it at cover. Any shop in my area will pull it and price it around a competitive eBay price, which is probably going to be around $50. Yet I’m sure it will drop as low as $25 pretty quickly.
The color is a bargain at $5.99. Especially with the bit of naughtiness on it.
Midtown listed theirs at $170 and it’s sold.
I’m gonna hunt for the Abigail and the Snowman #1 Virgin cover. Midtown sold out on this one as well before I could nab one just in case I miss out locally.. such a cool cover.
