It&#8217;s generally the items shipping in the later weeks  that have been revised; the first-week data has changed relatively less. There were also a couple of February-shipped items, <strong><i>Uncanny X-Men<\/i> #495<\/strong> and <strong><i>Amazing Spider-Man<\/i> #549<\/strong>, in the earlier file, which  also suggests a mixing somehow. In any event, that material is now  gone, and the new chart squares up nicely with known orders. These  changes affect the overall category unit and dollar values, and also the  positioning of several items. This also resulted in some items dropping  out of the Top 300, with a handful of new entrants.<\/p>\n<p>\nThose are not the only changes in the  re-run. Diamond seems to have merged some order codes, including joining  the previously separate <strong><i>Phoenix Comicon Hulk<\/i> #1<\/strong> with the rest of the <strong><i>Hulk<\/i> #1<\/strong>s \u2014 significant because it moved the book into 1st place <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by John Jackson Miller In a rare move, Diamond has done a full rerelease of statistics for January, addressing some of the curiosities noted in earlier posts below.
