I will admit that the past couple of reorder lists have been fairly boring. Not too much for speculators to pick through.

The advanced reorder list is what retailers are stocking up on before the issues are released. They may have heard speculation, have had people asking about books, or had the previous issue sell well or sell out.
This weeks list sees some new books (which look to sell out) and major cross over books.
See the list after the bump.
