Avengers: Infinity War<\/i><\/b>\u00a0had another nine-figure week to start off the month of May; it was a period that also included a very busy Free Comic Book Day and some improved news<\/a><\/b> about the state of the market.\u00a0\u00a0In response, retailers continued to restock the\u00a0Infinity Gauntlet<\/a><\/i><\/b>\u00a0trade paperback \u2014 and on the advance reorder side, it’s all Amazing Spider-Man<\/i><\/b> in the\u00a0latest Diamond Comic Distributors<\/a><\/b> reorder charts.\u00a0First we’ll\u00a0<\/b>look first at how the books already in stores fared, and move on to the future:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TOP REORDERED ITEMS for Apr. 30-May 6, 2018 (in invoiced dollars)<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

These are ranked by invoiced dollars, so retailers’ discounts have already applied to the totals before ranking.<\/p>\n

The top reordered trade paperback and top item overall was, of course, the\u00a0Infinity Gauntlet<\/a><\/i><\/b>\u00a0trade paperback. Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War Prelude <\/i><\/b>was the second-most reordered trade paperback.<\/p>\n

\"Action Comics <\/i>#1000<\/a><\/b> was the top reordered comic; after a week in which all its variants made the Top 25, the only variant of the April 18-released comic book to do so was the\u00a0Blank Edition<\/a><\/b>. It went out of stock last week so that should be the end of the variants charting. (See listings for them on eBay.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Hunt for Wolverine <\/i>#1<\/a><\/b>, the fourth-place comic book in April<\/a><\/b>, was the top reordered Marvel comic book. It went on sale April 25 and is now marked as out of stock in Diamond’s system.<\/p>\n

The top reordered hardcover was a repeat entry, the Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus<\/a><\/i><\/b> hardcover. In second was last week’s leader, the $150\u00a0Absolute Preacher Vol. 3<\/a><\/i><\/b>. It went on sale April 25.<\/p>\n
