Greetings from the coal face of the direct comics market. Where retailers try to increase their orders of certain comics ahead of sale. Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire! And courtesy of stats from Diamond Comic Distributors.

And it's Doomsday Clock that dominates the advance reorders with four separate covers taking the four top slots as retailers load up, with Port of Earth #1 from Image Comics making a second appearance. As well as Metal, Artgerm's covers for Supergirl and Phoenix, with two Vault Comics, Maxwell's Demons and Reactor launch issues making a very strong appearance. Reactor is written by Donny Cates, everyone. And the launch of Coyotes and the continuance of both Slots and Mister Miracle continue to up their numbers.
