The advance reorder charts from Diamond Comic Distributors for the final week of June are out. First, we’ll look at what’s already in stores before moving on to the future:
TOP REORDERED ITEMS for June 25-July 1, 2018 (in invoiced dollars)
These are items that have already shipped, but have been receiving additional orders from retailers. In most cases below, the items are in stock and so the orders are being filled; occasionally items are back-ordered, so their reorders will enter into the channel once they become available.
DC’s Absolute Sandman Overture hardcover was the top reordered hardcover and top reordered item overall in dollars spent by retailers. It went on sale June 27.
Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man #800 John Romita Sr. variant was the top-reordered comic book of the week. It went on sale May 30.
The top reordered comic book shipping in June was the wedding issue X-Men Gold #30. It hit shelves on June 20. A second printing is due July 25.
The Infinity Gauntlet collection was yet again the top trade paperback.
The links in the table go to the Diamond information pages for each book.
And now on to the future…
TOP ADVANCE REORDERED ITEMS for June 25-July 1, 2018 (in full retail dollars)
These are items that have not yet shipped, but for which the Final Order Deadlines have passed.
DC’s Teen Titans #20 was the top advance-reordered comic book. It goes on sale July 25.
The top advance-reordered Marvel title was the George Perez variant of Infinity Wars Prime #1, another July 25 book.
Once again this week, no hardcovers or softcovers made the list.
This chart is ranked by full retail dollars and not units, or wholesale dollars.
We’ve seen enough reorders and advance from the past few weeks from Diamond Comic Distributors to be able to collate some information onto pages for June 2018 and July 2018. Check them out for a further glance at the future.
