For purposes of our retroactive tracking, here are reorders and advance orders placed with Diamond Comic Distributors between November 20-26, 2017.
TOP REORDERED ITEMS for November 20-26, 2017 (in dollars)
These are items that have already shipped, but have been receiving additional orders. 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.
These are ranked by invoiced dollars, so retailers’ discounts have already applied to the totals before ranking.
The lenticular version of DC’s Doomsday Clock #1, which went on sale Nov. 22, is the top reordered comic book.
The links in the table go to the Diamond information pages for each book.
TOP ADVANCE REORDERED ITEMS for November 20-26, 2017 (in dollars)
And now, a look into the future. These are items that have not yet shipped, but for which the Final Order Deadlines have passed. These reorders, if books are available to fill them, may or may not land in the same shipping month as the books’ release weeks, so a book’s presence on this chart can mean that an item might make a repeat appearance in Diamond’s monthly top-seller charts.
The top comic is Doomsday Clock #2, which is expected to reach stores Dec. 27. Remember, this is ranked by invoiced dollars and not units.
