If you want this to succeed, TELL YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP ASAP.
For those that don't know, most all comic shops order from a magazine called PREVIEWS, which comes out TWO months in advance. So it should be solicited in the July issue.
You really aren't helping things if you go in a week before and ask for copies. Reprints help sales, but at least around here, most stores hate reordering because it's something people will do and not come back for. (experience, I haz it)
Most retailers won't take a chance on a new book, at least not around here, so it's important to tell them BEFORE they order it.
That's all.
Good luck, Dan. I can't wait.
(And yes, I'll be ordering more than usual around here)
