Place your bets.

Anyone willing to lay money on how the end of the Black Cat mini sells compared to the original 3 issues? Issue 2 at least hit around 100,000 copies.

10,000 for the reprint, 50,000 for the final issues.

Place your bets...

I reckon orders for the fourth issue will tally about 85,000, even though this series is astonishingly late, people have never stopped talking about it. Lets face it, Black cat has been in potential rape limbo for a few years now, people are going to want to see how it turns out and retailers will buy into the hype.

But I reckon retailers will get stuck with a fair few, like with DK2 #3.

The thing is, DC was wise enough to not solicit any issues of Green arrow until he had the first 10 written - they know what he's like, we all know what he's like. But the Quejemas era, always quick to garner a shot of publicity with the titillation of a forthcoming title, rush solicited the books.
And with DD: Target.
And with DD: Father.
And with Wha...Huh? (ships Thursday)
And the sad fact is it works, Spidey / Black cat 1-3 were pretty good, and people havn't stopped talking about 4 and 5.

On a seperate note, NYX never really worked for me, and I usually like Quesada's writing.

Uh, I meant Thursday in the US, honest. Do they have the August Bank Holiday?
