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. Here is the Diamond Comics Advance Reorder List for 6/8/15:
Seeing a pattern here? Secret Wars tie ins and Star Wars reprints. Throw in some Gwen action and you have the same list each week. A couple of stand outs though, first, Mad Max Fury Road second print. This was way under ordered by retailers and I am excited to see what the print run comes back as. Fight Club 2 #2 shows up on the list, making me think this will be a hit. Mystic also appears on the list. Hopefully this turns into Image’s next break out hit. Finally, and yes it is a Secret Wars tie in, X-Men 92 shows up a couple of times on the list. Lot’s of guys my age really dig the classic X-Men series from our teen-age years.
