we’ve now received word that Book Of Death #2 orders have crossed the 30,000 issue mark, which not only makes it the best selling #2 issue of the year for a non-premier publisher, but puts it in easy contention for the third or fourth best-selling independent second issue of the year thus far, behind only Dark Horse’s Fight Club #2 (estimates of 50,581), Image’s Descender #2 (43,946) and Chrononauts #2 (31,841).

Great news for VEI!

Which means there is circa 3000 BOD:LOTG in circulation, which I think means it's more scare than BOG:LOTG which was estimated to have 4000 copies!

[nycjadie]

That's brilliant. Congrats to Valiant.

BOD:LOTG #1 should have around 2800 copies since BOD #1 sold about 70,000 copies.

Cool! I thought I read 4k somewhere, but 2800 must be right

This is good news. Well done VEI and fans.

[BugsySig]

Very positive news. Second issues are very telling, and their other recent releases of Ninjak and Bloodshot, as well as XO, have been selling really strong. Things are looking good.

[FormerReader]

Great to see! So far I've really enjoyed both BOD and BOD:LOTG. I think Valiant is hitting on all cylinders right now.

[Chris Campbell]

That sounds really encouraging. I was concerned given some of the sharp drops that can happen.

Fantastic!

Very happy to see this - I guess it also proves that somewhere around 3000 dedicated fans really wanted that BoD:LotG series too.

This is not a stab at that rather controversial promotion - I for one have been pre-ordering the LotG series and am loving it so far through 2 issues. It's been great to see BoD gettin some shelf space promotion at my store thanks to my ordering the LotG books - I hope it's helping raise awareness in many more LCS's across the board.

Very cool! Congrats to Dinesh and crew at VEI!

This does show that the promotion scheme is working. I wonder of we'll see higher numbers across the board post BoD? Stores will see they can move a lot more Valiant product than they thought. Which is great! Hopefully.

That should mean there are about 500 copies of this book (http://valiantdatabase.com/books/2008-b ... olo-rivera" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) then, correct?

I hope that is right, because I grabbed two for $10 each today and can get more.

I would guess it's higher than 500, I think something happened to the distribution of this book and some stores got it in the numbers of a 1:10. That's why you can find it for the cost of a 1:10 in certain areas.

Well, that's really gotta suck for those who paid regular pre-order prices.

LOL, 10% of that print run is right now in my store

[kevinbastos]

Can't anyone interpret this as misery?

Needs more 'sky is falling' when I read numbers.

Book of Death #3 holds three (#21, #24, #25) spots on the top 25 Advance Reorder list.
