Ron Catapano of Ron's Comic World in Mount Holly, New Jersey comments on the lack of information regarding DC's 'New 52' availability and second printings.
As a retailer I want to thank DC for everything they've been doing lately, especially the advertising. That being said, could someone at DC please keep the retailers updated about what's going on with books that have sold out? We've been told about four titles going back to print but even with my increased orders I've sold out of every title (how can I complain about this?) but every order I place for any DC issue goes to "local back order." The problem with the lack of info is I don't know what to tell my customers that are looking for these books. Will my reorders be filled? If so, when?
Another problem is, with the FOC for the second issues here, what do I do with my orders for issue #2 if issue #1 isn't going to be available? This could be a problem.
It seems we all planned for everything but the success of the DCnU.
