Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List 9/13/13

The Diamond Comics Advanced reorder list is one of those tools that Speculators can use to figure out what is going to be hot. The books are all ones that retailers have gone back to up their orders on. This could be for several different reasons; the previous issue sold better than expected, customer’s are coming in asking about the book, a new number 1, or message board and web site chatter. This weeks does not feature any villain month books! This is great because that is all that has been featured for the past 6 weeks.

Here is this week’s advanced reorder list:

1. Star Wars: The Lucas Draft #2- The first issue sold really well and fans are clamoring for Lucas’ original vision.

2. All New X-Men #17– Really the best X-Men book on the stands.

3. All New X-Men Special #1– See above

4. Catwoman #23 2nd print– No surprise as the appearance of Jokers Daughter has caused the book to sell out the say before it came out.

5. Hinterkind #1– New Vertigo Series. Vertigo has seen a rebirth over the past two months putting out Image quality books (used to be Image was putting out Vertigo quality.)

6. Walking Dead #1 10th Anniversary Edition– Buy Walking Dead #1 for $5.99 (in Color.)

7. Nova #9– Infinity Cross over. Great Marvel book that hasn’t taken off yet, and I do not know why.

8. Forever Evil #2– The story that started Villain’s month and the villains found out Nightwing’s identity.

9. Walking Dead #115 Midnight Release Party Variant– Special edition book for those stores doing an early release. This will be huge as will the actual #115 variants.

10. Marvel Knights Spiderman #1- Let the oversaturation of Spiderman books continue.

11. Captain America Living Legend #1– This is a re-solicit.

12. Witching Hour #1- Yeah Horror comics! nine new supernatural tales by a coven of the best writers and artists VERTIGO could cram into 70 pages.

‘Suicide 5’ interview with Jason Pell

We have talked a lot about Kickstarter projects being the breeding ground for hot new comics. We have seen ‘The Outliers’, ‘Watson and Holmes’, ‘Wild Blue Yonder’, ‘Voice in the Dark’, and others take off and become darlings of the secondary market. Some of these have ended up getting major distribution, and the Kickstarter variants being the ones really sought after. One book that is on my radar, ‘Suicide 5’, is being funded now, and for $20 you get the hard cover version. This one is on my radar because it is delightfully twisted in the content of the book.  Continue reading “‘Suicide 5’ interview with Jason Pell”

DC Comics Villains month covered at Examiner.com

DC Comics Villains month covered at Examiner.com

I am occasionally asked to write on Pop-Culture events for my local newspaper. The articles also run at the  Examiner.com. Here is the latest one in reference to DC’s Villains month 3d covers.

 

 

DC Comics 3-D week 3 variants still available for pre-order

Looks like some on-line retailers are already selling out of next weeks books.
The Clayface, Flash Rogues, Scarecrow, Black Hand, Dial E, Eclipso, Shadow Thief, and Deathstroke covers are all gone.
But you can still pre-order the following covers to ensure you have them:

DC 3d covers week 2 results

Well we all know these were going to sell. We just didn’t know how many or how much. I sold through my first weeks covers (held my breath a little) but ended up doubling my money on them (even after ebay fees.) At first it looked sketch but it worked out. 

 

Here is what this weeks 3d covers are going for.

Comic Picks of the week for Wednesday Sept. 11th 2013

Hey everyone, trying to get back on my regular schedule. Baltimore comic con really took its toll on me and my wallet, as did the 13 3d covers from last week. So I am looking for more flips. Here are this weeks books of the week based on what I, and others, think are going to be hot.

A look ahead to this Wednesday

I usually give my picks of the week late Tuesday or at the latest early Wednesday. I also like to give a heads up on what else is coming out during the week that may be worth a pick up. Because of being at Baltimore Comic Con this weekend, I am a day behind. So here is a look ahead at what is being released this week.

1. Walking Dead #114 As the book continues to grow and so does the show, more people keep grabbing up issues. Always a good bet.

2. Rachel Rising #19 Still a great book with fantastic story and art by Terry Moore. It was optioned and since they all have a low print run could still be worth the pick up (one of my monthly titles.)

3. The Other Dead #1 The comic has three covers, a regular, a subscription, and an Obama Variant which has already been bringing notice to the series. . This has caused heat just due to the cover image. The story is about zombie animals. May have been delayed a week, but don’t sleep on this one.

4. Ghosted #3 I seriously think this will get made into a movie. It has Kirkman’s star power behind it as it comes out from Skyward.

5. Collider, I mean, Federal Bureau of Physics #3 is still one of Vertigo’s best reads.

6. Brain Boy #1 Dark Horse continues to expand it’s heroes line with this remake of a classic Golden Age character.

7. Eternal Warrior #1 I was never a fan of the original Valiant stuff, but the new launches have been fantastic. This one looks cool from the preview I read.

Diamond Comics Advanced reorder list 9/6/13

The Diamond Comics advanced reorder list used to be speculation gold. You could see what was gaining interest and causing retailers to scramble to get copies before final order cut off. You would see which books would be selling out early. Now, and for the past 5 weeks, it has been about Dc Villains month. The reorders on this week’s list are no surprise as retailers scrambled to get the standard cover of each book as their 3-d books had been allocated.

There are a couple of gems worth looking out for on here though:

1. Batman The Dark Knight #23.4 Joker’s Daughter Standard cover
2. Justice League #23.4 Secret Society Standard cover
3. Batman #23.4 Bane Standard cover
4. Justice League of America #7.4 Black Adam Standard cover
5. Batman Superman #3.1 Doomsday Standard cover

10. Wonder Woman #23.2 First Born Standard cover
11. Action Comics #23.4 Metallo Standard cover
12. Superman #23.4 Parasite Standard cover
13. DC New 52 Villians Omnibus HC– Covers all 52 of the oneshots in a hard bound format…..
14. Walking Dead #115 Midnight Release variant– Image is following Marvel and releasing a special ‘Party Variant’ for shops that open at Midnight so customers can get their Walking Dead fix early. Also, 15 connecting covers coming out that week.
15. Saga #13 2nd print- #13 was the return of the series, orders were low and sold out quickly. Now regular readers who missed out on first prints will have to settle for seconds. (that is why I am an every Wednesday guy) 1st prints still available.
16. Batman Superman #2 2nd print First Print stil available.
17. Avengers #20- Infinity tie in
18. Wolverine and X-Men #36
19. Sex Criminal #1 – New Image number 1 book with an interesting twist
20. Saga #14– See above for Saga #13. Retailers do not want to make the same mistake twice in not ordering enough copies
21. Avengers Assemble #19
22. Batman #24– DC’s flag ship continues after villains month. This is a $6.99 book which could break some shopper’s banks. No appearances by Joker’s helper monkey.
23. Infinity Heist #1– Infinity Tie In

25. Punisher Trial of Punisher #1– Two issue mini series.
