Namor #1 is released with a 25 cent cover price and the first point is if I order 100 copies (and Marvel prices this like the Daredevil issue) I have the potential to make a whopping $10 profit (about $6 after paying for shipping), but readers get to try a new title cheap so I won't complain.

Issue #2 is released with a $2.25 cover price but must be ordered as I normally would a #2 issue.  What makes this worse than usual is that I had to order #2 at the same time I ordered issue #1 so even if readers like this book, I won't have time to adjust my orders.

Since #1 is almost a giveaway book, I won't have any numbers to base orders on until almost a month after issue #2 comes out.  This means that if this book comes out twice a month, I will have to place orders for at least 6 issues before I even know whether the book is worth the shelf space.

I will be ordering VERY conservatively on this book.  Here's an I.Q. question for you, if someone else wrote a book whose sales went from just 5 copies to 0 by issue #3, and this same writer announced he was doing another title -- a title he said at the outset, was being done for another market, how many copies would you be ordering?
