Here is one I overlooked mentioning. Not on purpose but I didn’t get the info right away.
Shahrazad #1 from Big Dog Ink sold out at the distributor level on the day of release (11/6/13). There was much talk here over this book, especially about the outfit worn by the main character. It was Larry’s Comics pick of the week for 11/6/13. Needless to say a book selling out on the day of release, or the day before is a good sign for speculation. Shahrazad # is going back for a second print. The second print is set to go to stores on 12/18/13. Big Dog Ink stated that “fan response exceeded even their expectations.”
When a book sells out at the distributor level, it does not mean that you will not find it on your local comic shop shelves, it means once those copies are gone, they will not be able to re-order any more copies and will only be able to get second prints.
