March is winding down, and while it saw rotten weather in the Northeast, there’s at least one anecdotal sign of thaw:\u00a0Chuck Rozanski<\/b> reported yesterday that the month to date is up 63%<\/a><\/b> at Mile High Comics<\/b>. That’s highly unlikely for the Direct Market at large in March, which is up against a month with one more shipping week; breaking even would be a considerable feat. But we can at least get a glimpse of what’s going on from the latest reorders and advance reorders placed with\u00a0Diamond Comic Distributors<\/a>.\u00a0<\/b>

\nLet’s look first at how the books already in stores fared, and move on to the future:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TOP REORDERED ITEMS for Mar. 19-25, 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

\"See<\/span>The $500 Marvel<\/b>\u00a0Infinity Gauntlet Box Hardcover Slipcase Set<\/a><\/i><\/b>\u00a0repeated as both the top hardcover and top item overall in reorders. It was a March 7 item. (Possibly not next week, as it’s marked as of today as out of stock at Diamond.) There were quite a lot of hardcovers in the reorder charts this time out, including Green Lantern Earth One Vol. 1<\/a><\/i><\/b>, which placed second overall. It was released March 14.<\/p>\n

Continuing the Thanos theme, the Infinity Gauntlet<\/a><\/i><\/b> trade paperback was the top reordered softcover.

\n<\/i>
\nOblivion Song <\/i>#1<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>repeated as the top comic book reordered. It’s had that status three weeks in a row. It arrived in stores March 7.<\/p>\n
