On Wednesday CrossGen will publish Sojurn Vol. #4 TPB, its first trade paperback comic book collection since last July. Diamond Comic Distributors ran Sojurn Vol. #4 TPB through its 'Order Adjustment' process, which allows retailers to reduce or increase their orders on late-shipping product, and the orders actually went up. CrossGen, which has had its share of financial difficulties lately (see 'CrossGen Restructures'), did not print many extra copies of Sojurn Vol. #4 TPB. While direct market retailers are receiving their full orders through Diamond, regular bookstores and trade accounts received only a portion of their orders. Retailers that sell out of Sojurn Vol. #4 TPB or want more copies for whatever reason should reorder immediately, since remaining quantities from this edition are very limited.
Within a month CrossGen, plans to announce a new publication plan for its trade paperbacks, which will cover all trade paperback releases for the next year. CrossGen does plan to publish previously promised collections of some titles, even if those titles were casualties of cataclysmic event that shook the CrossGen universe (see 'CrossGen Declares 'War'). Stay tuned to ICv2 for further developments.
