The Diamond Comics Advance Reorder List is a great speculator tool. It shows what books retailers are going back to get more of, in advance of their release. They are actually putting their money up betting these books get big. These are the books people are talking about in shops, message boards, and websites.

Two interesting comics on this list, to me, are the Die Die Die #2 and MG34. DDD is strange because I still a whack load of #1 on the shelves ar my LCS’. And MG is strange because it has such a low regular print run. Are shops picking up on MG spec?
