Return to the Devil's Wedgie

The first two monthly issues of Jennie Breeden's The Devil's Panties have been solicited, and they did meet their minimum order.

As of this moment, Diamond is still carrying the book.

However, it has not yet met its minimum order for the third issue, and the deadline is this Friday.

This is typical of new books-- one of the disadvantages a new book is laboring under is the fact that retailers have to order the first three issues before they see the first issue. They tend to get increasingly conservative in their estimates, if they don't have a huge number of pre-orders for a book. If you want to see The Devil's Panties survive, even briefly, as a monthly title then you need to order a copy of issue #3 before Friday. My money is on Jennie's success, but it never hurts to keep people informed.

If you go to comic shops, this is a cause to get behind boys and girls.
Diamond and other forces are not-so-slowly killing the viability of printed indy comics, and while I'm about as anti-direct market as anyone out there, on principle I still like seeing people from our side of the tracks succeed in whatever they do.

Order two!

I haven't heard the numbers

I haven't heard the numbers yet on #3. According to her website, a shipping problem has delayed the first book until March 15th. Jennie did her part on time though. And now it's time to pre-order The Devil's Panties #4.

Let's all hold hands and sing, "The Cir-r-r-r-rcle of Li-i-i-i-i-i-ife".

I kind of lost track of this - how's it going with the monthly book?
