Recommended Reads and Pickups – FOC Edition
We highlight books in Previews at the beginning of each month, now it’s time to recommend a select few before final order cutoff after we obtained advanced preview copies we could read, which gives us a good idea not only if the book has the potential to heat up (if the demand is there) but if it’s just in general a great read, with great art.

I’m taking us back to 1972 with a Jack Kirby creation that was created due to a request by DC for a horror type comic and character.

Recent DC sold out books
Thanks to Terry Hoknes of www.hoknescomics.com for the info.
DC books do not sell out as often as other company’s books. This is mostly because of how they do their print runs. So when a DC book sells out it is worth noticing. Here is a list of recent DC series that have sold out and could heat up. Continue reading “Recent DC sold out books”
DC comics ending the New 52
Thanks to Tyson B. for this one.
Here we go again, the New 52 Universe, which replaced the long standing DC Universe, is ending and will be replaced by a new Post-Convergence Universe come June.
‘Justice League of America’ #4 major character death
One thing that gets comic fans and speculators interested in a book is a characters death. Especially, a fan favorite and major characters death brings in the buyers. Well ‘Justice League of America’ #4 has the death of a major character in spades. This book should be picked up before it sells out at your local comic shop.
This book leads into this summers DC comics event ‘Forever Evil’ and features the death of a Batman favorite character. At this point, if you do not want to know who it is, stop reading, and stay off the Internet.
Unsure how it will play out, if she will be brought back to life, if it was someone else under the costume, or if someone new will now be under the costume, but Selena Kyle takes a bullet to the head at the end of the issue. The page shows red blood and it wasn’t done in the shadows, so there is no doubt she took it to the temple.
Diamond Advanced Reorder List 5/16/13
One way to guage how hot a comic is/will be is by the Diamond Comics Advanced reorder list. This gives retailers a chance to up their orders for books that may have caught some heat before the release and before the final order cut offs. So without further ado, this weeks advanced reorder list (Dominated by DC Comics and Superman Unchained #1)
1. Superman Unchained #1 – Retailers are reordering this DC $4.99 book drawn by Jim Lee. It appears several times on the list like:
2. Superman Unchained #1 – 75th anniversary “Reborn” Variant
3. Green lantern #21 – Promo Rings are back causing an uptick in Green Lantern book orders.
4. Batman Superman #1 – Relaunch of the out-of-continuity series featuring DC’s heavy hitters
5. Walking Dead TPB Vol 18 – Sales Juggernaut for comic shops (and book stores alike, but that is not represented here)
6. East of West #1 4th Printing – Even with heavy orders on this Hickman book, people are still clamoring for it.
7. Superior Spider-man #11 – Following on the Peter is gone story we will see How Spider-ock handles life without responsibility with all that power
8. Thanos Rising #3 The story of Thanos’ disfunctional childhood continues, great story so far.
9. Earth 2 #13
10. Jupiters Legacy #1 2nd print – Even with a considerable overprint and huge print run, this hot book has gone back to a second print. We have been moving the Phantom Variants pretty easily.
11. All New X-men #14
12. Age of Ultron #9 – Orders are ramping up for the introduction of Neil Gaimen’s Angela to the Marvel U. in #10
13. Amazing Spiderman Omnibus
14. Ten Grand #2 – 1st issue sold well retailers saw better than expected sales (I would imagine due to speculation of Image books.) but it was a good first issue.
15. Ten Grand #1 2nd Print – see above.
16. Herobear and the Kid Special #1- The fantastic all ages book is back and now from Boom. The early issues of the self published series used to command good money, hopefully we will see the prices rise on them again.
17. Daredevil Dark Nights
18. Superman Unchained #1 75th anniversary Modern Age Variant – see 1 and 2.
19. Superman Unchained #1 75th anniversary Lex Luthor Variant – See 1 and 2.
20. Iron Man #11 – I have heard rumors on this run….. The Secret Origin story line started out nicely with a ton of variants on #9. Number #10 featured “Starks 7” an Oceans 11 riff. When will we find out that Tony Stark is part alien, I would imagine very soon (if the rumors are true)
21. Cable and X-Force #9
22. Dardevil End of Days HC
23. Adventure Time TPB Vol. 3
24. Kick Ass 3 #2 – Millar’s Teen “real life” super hero saga comes to an end with this series.
25. Venom Enemy Within TPB

Batgirl 19: Mainstream comics first transgender character
Oh boy here is one that went under the radar and was just announced today. Batgirl #19, which shipped today, has a big reveal. Barbara Gordon’s friend, Alysia Yeoh, tells Bab’s that she is transgender. The reveal happens while Barbara is opening up about her paralysis, the Joker (The Killing Joke), and about the wheel chair ramp in her van. Alysia lets loose that she is transgender.
So, big reveal that was not covered in the news, yet. Might be worth picking up. The story just came out about 30 minutes ago.
Batman and Robin #19 Carrie Kelley Robin?
Yeah, the same Carrie Kelley that appeared in Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns.
Not sure how the story will pan out, but Bleeding Cool reported that there was a print run of 18,000 available through Diamond that have sold out as of Sunday night. This book drops on Wednesday and would be worth picking up.
