.....a strengthing of the new comic market.

Sales of Preview magazine have hit an almost ten year high, accorging to sources at the Diamond Summit last month in Las Vegas.

Do you think this can be used as a benchmark of market strenth?

I think the publishing houses need to recognize the untapped goldmine in price variant collectors ....

Hey, we collect REAL variants, and not those POS "manufactured collectibles masquerading as variants".

Now, how did I know JC was gonna be the first one in with a comment on this one.

 

Actually, all they gotta' do is print something like a Justice League/Avengers team-up every month and sales will go up 20% immediately.

I'm wondering if they are counting the sales of units of Marvel Previews, because Marvel broke out into their own format a few months back, featuring the new books/TPBs/merchandise as usual and includes 2 "must have" stories...that's exactly it..they merged their Marvel Must Haves reprints with their Previews...

 

since dealers MUST order their Marvels if they expect to sell anything off the shelves, they are also forced to buy several of these, doubling the unit count of Diamond "Previews" sold...
