    A store only ordering 2-6 copies is never a good sign though.

    All these sell-outs doesn't mean a thing if stores didn't take a chance on the title to start with.

    The initital ordering numbers will dictate how many copies get printed as there's only a certain overprint to each issue afterwards for re-allocation.

    If initial orders were low and then the overstock of the print-run get re-ordered while it makes the issue a sellout at Diamond it doesn't mean a second print if initial sales don't make it financially viable.

    I do, however get shop's apprehension to order in bulk after Volume 3's failiure and the fact that you can't return excess unsold comics. No-one wants a 90's situation again.

    My LCS ordered 25 copies of #0.1 and only had 3 left last week. Pretty good sell through for a 0.1 issue. They're expecting even better for #1.
