2021 Comics Reorders
Comics and Graphic Novels Reordered by North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
After items have been released by Diamond, retailers continue to place and receive reorders — often for many years after the the publication date. This page archives the weekly reorder charts Diamond released during the year. Click to see the archived advance reorders, which are for books that had not yet shipped at 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 invoiced dollars, so retailers' discounts have already been applied.

No Longer Human HC Junji Ito (Viz)
The Something is Killing the Children spinoff House of Slaughter was the top-reordered comic book and the top reordered item overall in the last week of October. It would be the last reorder chart for nearly a month due to a ransomware attack on Diamond.

Reorders placed between Nov. 23-29, 2021
• Top reordered comic book:
Avengers #50 (Marvel)
November saw no reorder charts at all released by Diamond for the first three weeks of the month due to a ransomware attack that brought down many of its data systems and resulted in the delayed release of many of its titles. When charts resumed at the end of the month, no advance reorder chart was released, just the below table of reorders — although except for one comic book, every issue actually came out in December, outside what was presumably the reporting period. Further, it was all comics, with no graphic novels, which is highly unusual for reorder lists.

Reorders placed between November 29-December 5, 2021
• Top reordered December-shipping comic book:
Mother F. Goose #1 Cvr A Elsma (Aftershock)
• Top reordered hardcover graphic novel:
Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclospeedia HC (Dark Horse)
Diamond's second reorder chart after it was hit with a ransomware attack in November was again incomplete and unusual, as no advance reorders were available and all items on the chart, with the exception of one graphic novel, were December 8 items — so these can't be reorders in any traditional sense. It's not clear what the list is reporting.

Reorders placed between Dec. 6-12, 2021
• Top reordered December-shipping comic book:
BRZRKR #6 Cvr A Garbett (Boom)
• Top reordered softcover graphic novel:
Spawn Compendium Vol. 2 (Image)
• Top reordered hardcover graphic novel:
Something Is Killing the Children Deluxe Ed. HC Vol. 1 (Boom)
The third reorder chart released by Diamond since its November ransomware attack was again without an advance-reorder chart companion — and was again unusual in that all but one item came out after the reorder period being reported. It's unclear what kind of orders specifically this list is reporting; it's possible it might be some kind of bestseller list (by dollars) just for December 15.

Reorders placed between Dec. 13-19, 2021
• Top reordered December-shipping comic book:
House of Slaughter #3 Cvr A Shehan (Boom)
• Top reordered softcover graphic novel:
Fist of the North Star GN Vol. 3 (Viz)
• Top reordered hardcover graphic novel:
Deserter Junji Ito Story Coll HC (Viz)
Another week where the chart does not appear to represent reorders, but sales of comics that shipped for the first time.

Reorders placed between Dec. 20-26, 2021
• Top reordered December-shipping comic book:
Stray Dogs Dog Days #1 Cvr B Horror Movie Var (Boom)
Image led the final reorder chart of 2021 with Stray Dogs: Dog Days #1.
Like the earlier charts since Diamond's ransomware attack, it again without an advance-reorder chart companion — and was again unusual in that every item on the list came out after the reorder period being reported. It's unclear what kind of orders specifically this list is reporting; it's possible it might be some kind of bestseller list (by dollars) just for December 29.
