Mike Boze of HawgHead Comics in Fort Smith, Arkansas saw our article on Marvel's attempt to gear up public relations earlier on its upcoming title The Truth to avoid sellouts (see 'Marvel Gears Up PR Earlier for Black Cap') and had these comments:

 

Just read with great interest on how well the new series from Marvel will do -- or at least how well the 'Powers that Be' think the series will do. Does this mean that Bill & Joe are so confident of the sales that they will overprint for once and prove the retailers are the ones that truly are to blame. All I hear lately is how if retailers only had the faith to order in higher numbers then the customers would storm our doors to get the books that are offered. I have heard this from Marvel and more recently from John Byrne (Lab Rats). Well, this is a chance for Marvel to prove they are smarter than the rest of us. Take a chance on one of your own books. I did notice that Bill was so proud of his own books that no reorders are available.
