Guess that's just one less series to worry about." I realize that this isn't an exact science and that publishers have to be smart about how much they over print, but for a while there Image was selling out of every buzz book they had. I was interested in a couple, but when I went to my LCS, they were already gone in the same week they came out. Again, that just saves me money. By the time a second print comes out, I'll have lost interest. Maybe if a trade comes out. I'd love to go fully digital, but that's still an unreliable mess. I'll wait until they've sorted things out better. My reaction to sell outs at the publisher level usually just have me thinking, “Well, I guess I won’t pick that book up.
