The Diamond Comics Advanced reorder list is a peek into what is hot or heating up. It is based on what retailers are upping their orders on before final order cut off. This is where books sell out.

This is a big week for books. One of the year’s biggest and most anticipated books drops this week. That book, of course, is the 3d cover featuring Joker’s Daughter. The character that first appeared in Batman Family #6 or Catwoman #23 depending on who is under that mask. Needless to say get a 3d copy and flip it. Get a 2d copy and read it. Or get which ever and do what ever with it. It is going to be big and has already been going for crazy money. But besides Joker’s darling daughter, there are a bunch of other books you shouldn’t miss out on cause they look like the could heat up.

Have you been lucky and gotten them? Just curious what everyone’s experience has been.
