In an unusual happenstance, two consecutive issues of the same series led comics on both the weekly reordered and advance reordered lists at the end of July.
Die! Die! Die! #1 was again the top reordered book last week — click to see see all the July charts. Issue #1 is still stocked at Diamond, suggesting a large reserve was printed.
The initial shipment was matched to Oblivion Song #1‘s orders, so figure that anything above about 80,000 copies in the final July estimates came from reorders.
Hardcovers dominated the rest of the reorder list, led by New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 3.
Meanwhile, Die! Die! Die! #2, due August 22, was the top advance reordered book for August.
