Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder List for 7/28/13
The Diamond Comics Advanced Reorder list shows what comic shops are upping their orders on before the books ship. These could be new #1’s, books that have got some heat behind them, 2nd prints of already sold out books, or stuff that buyers are coming in asking for. This week is a treasure trove of sold out books going back for 2nd prints. This means the first prints are long gone from the distributor and could be seeing an increase in price.

Cult Fiction Comics Comic shop review
One of the greatest things about traveling, for me at least, is to check out comic shops in the areas I go to. I plan on doing more reviews on shops, but have only done one so far and I gave it a horrible review. Today I hit several shops on my way to Philadelphia up 95 N and one really stood out above the rest. Continue reading “Cult Fiction Comics Comic shop review”

Watson and Holmes #1 heating up
Well not heating up as much as hot. This book came out of nowhere and got some great press and got people interested.

A second printing is coming. Continue reading “Watson and Holmes #1 heating up”

Larry’s Comics Market Report 7/16/13
Larry Doherty at Larry’s comics puts out a weekly market report. It is always a good read to see what is getting hot, and what he thinks will get hot. We tend to agree on a lot of things (Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth made the list this week.) So without further ado this weeks market report:
Comic Picks of the week for Delivery 7/17/13
This looks to be another good summer week with some good speculation books. Speaking of which, did you see the news on ‘Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth’ and ‘Clone.’? These two stories kept me busy last night and up late with excitement. Things have been kind of slow on the secondary market, but the books we are picking up now are going to turn in to money down the road. We just have to get through convention season. So without further ado, this weeks comic book speculation picks:

Clone getting tv /movie deal?
Well, with just a short time before SDCC, things are picking up on the speculation front. Over on the Cgc message boards, a place where comic creators frequent to check out the reaction to their work. Something mysterious popped up. Continue reading “Clone getting tv /movie deal?”
Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth 2nd print print run
Ken Kristensen posted on a message board a few minutes ago the print run on the 2nd print number 1 is about 5,000 copies. This makes the 2nd print #1 the smallest printed book in the series and really worth picking up (see what Rachel Rising #1 3rd print did.)
Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth Print Run
Thanks to Mark for these. Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth sold out its first two issues early on. With news of the impending TV show, its not a bad idea to look at the print run numbers. The second issue of the series, which typically drops off in size, is the smallest of the run. With about 7800 first print copies this book could really shoot up if the TV show works out. I can account for at least 7800 people hoping it does.
