The Fox #1 from Red Circle (Archie Comics) sold out.

The Fox #1, the new comic from Archie comics storied super-hero line, Red Circle, has sold out at the distributor level.

In fact, it sold out before it was even released last Wednesday. This is Archie’s second sold out book in as many months. When a book is reported to sell out, it does not mean you may not be able to find it on your local comic shops shelves. It means that once all the first print books are snatched up, your LCS will not be able to order any additional first prints. When a book sells out before it is even released, your stores only get what they initially ordered, or in cases like this book, if they ordered it at all. The Fox was released with three separate covers.
