She claims her and all her friends reserved a copy.<BR/><BR/>Sounds great. I asked her if she was going to get the second issue, however, and she said "probably not" but she may if the "first one's any good."<BR/><BR/>I then explained why you really need to commit to three issues of a monthly or wait for the trade the way the DM is set up because the shop owner will likely not over order the second issue.<BR/><BR/>I guess what I'm getting at is, we're in for another Death of Superman but with about ten times fewer copies being sold. It's all novelty. It'll sell enough to carry the title to trade, though, and who knows after that?<BR/><BR/>But I will also say my coworker and her friends are expecting leather costumes, whips and erotica so I hope DC at least throws a little Bump & Grind in there or you won't see many follow-on orders.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750393288313413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14008247.post-1150140697477601002006-06-12T13:31:00.000-06:002006-06-12T13:31:00.000-06:00"However, the direct market might be more receptiv..."However, the direct market might be more receptive to a book about colleting rare pieces of ephemera than it is to life and emotions. :) "<BR/><BR/>That should be put on a t-shirt.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750393288313413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14008247.post-1150140066447178552006-06-12T13:21:00.000-06:002006-06-12T13:21:00.000-06:00Thanks, Mark - right backatcha!
