\nIs it art, or are they books? What do I sell? When I first opened, I knew I sold books. I finished up the store's various orders through Diamond, Lunar, and Penguin and thought that is a lot more covers than usual to pick from on the same comic. Biggest sales mover for Marvel currently going on in March for us? Alex Ross' Timeless covers, this time, instead of heroes, he is featuring villains. He already had requests to pull the covers he is doing.
If I sold ten copies of an earlier issue, that means very little; the next issue may sell out due to a hot cover or not sell as well because the previous issue had people buying multiple copies due to the cover or covers. Then they did not pick up any of the next issues. When World's Finest #11 came out, the open-to-order Jack White variant sold online for over $30 and even had a second printing. If I knew that would happen, I would have ordered a ton more and been rich.
