2021 Comics Advance Reorders
Comics and Graphic Novels Reordered by North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
When retailers order an item which has not shipped yet, but whose initial order deadline has passed, it is called an Advance Reorder. These reorders, placed further out than regular reorders, tend to be more speculative in nature, as there is less certainty that stock will still be available. This page archives the weekly advance reorder charts Diamond released during the year. Click to see the archived reorders, which are for books that had already shipped at the time of the order.
Note that the listings mix hardcovers, softcovers, and comics together, and that they also rank items by dollars rather than units. Note, too, that these are based on full cover price, so retailers' discounts have not yet been applied.
