Market Watch ‘Trinity of Sin: Pandora’
By Terry Hoknes of www.hoknescomics.com
TRINITY OF SIN: PANDORA (DC, 2013) 1st printings of both issues #1 and #2 sold out immediately in the summer x-over tie-in with Justice League America. #1 print run at 35,106 ranked #67 for July 2013. However the Justice League #22 issue sold 110,000 copies so a definite shortage for those who wanted to read both. Trinity #2 had a print run of 32,170 which was almost the same showing how much orders had been increased as sales for #2 issues usually cuts in 1/2.
Trinity #1 1st printings have had numerous sales above $10 with $12.00 so far the highest price reached. Many sales of #2 at $5.00 each.

Market watch ‘Steam Wars’
By Terry Hoknes of Hoknescomics.com
STEAM WARS (ANTARCTIC PRESS, 2013) #1 had a very small print run of only 2,399 copies and came out in April so it has 5 months to definitely sell out and heat up. 4 sales so far all at $14.99 each for #1 have helped dry up the entire market and now copies on ebay are priced at $25 to $30.00 each. #2 has an even smaller print run. #3 comes out next week! A steampunk version of Star Wars !! By Fred Perry (Gold Digger). A not so long ago, in a galaxy relatively close by began an epic struggle on a world seized in the grip of an evil Victorian empire, the Hegemonic Crux. Only a ragged alliance of rebels oppose the emperor and his black guard, but hope is fading. While fleeing from the steam-driven war machines of her imperial pursuers, Duchess Imoen stumbles across the home of the last Dragoon: the legendary storm foil warriors of ancient lore! This new (but strangely familiar) steam-fantasy epic will give thrills that haven’t been felt since 1977!

NewComics20130828
This weekly article will also take a close look at how popular the titles are and how close they are to selling out at Diamond.
This will give retailers and collectors a heads up with a reminder of books you want to make sure you get immediately!!
Sometimes books don’t sell out immediately so its worth taking a look back at series that came out in the past few months !
Comics can sell out very quickly so some titles on this list will be more valuable instantly the day of release !
Keep in mind that with 1500 comic stores – if even 20% of stores re-ordered just 1 copy each that would be 300 more copies sold !
So any comics on the list that still have copies left I guarantee are going to eventually all sell out.
Diamond data of copies still available listed below compiled on August 22 2013 (6 days BEFORE release date)! Continue reading “SOLD OUT New #1 Comics for August 28 2013 Release Week”
