For those of you that place preorders or have a reserve list at your local comic retailer, here’s a reminder that the official due date for placing preorders for July-shipping releases is this coming Satuday, May 10 — so if you were going to give your local retailer an advance order for Frank Miller’s Robocop #1, Warren Ellis’ Strange Killings: Strong Medicine #2 and any of the rest of our July releases, it may be time to start thinking about submitting that order. Your local retailer may have a different deadline for orders, so check in with your store if you’re not sure about your local due date. Not sure what this preordering stuff is all about? We talked a bit here about the comic industry’s advance order catalog Previews and the importance of pre-ordering or otherwise letting your retailer know what independent comics you want to read.
There’s a variety of information and artwork on the site covering the Avatar Press comics that are available for pre-order in May. The May Previews Supplement is the starting point for finding out more about what you can pre-order for the month.
