March 29, 2012 9:25 am The thing that bothers me about this statement is that if I am a regular customer anywhere else and there's an item I want and I request it 2-3 out before it comes out typically I can get it. Why can't shops contact Diamond as soon as they hear a customer wants a book if it's a few weeks before it's release date (2-3 weeks)? Is Diamond unable to send extra books a few weeks before the release date? Shops have no problem having 18 copies of a Fear itself tie in that sits on the shelf year round but you don't have any issues of Saga? To me also I feel that I shouldn't have to commit to buying a book two months out before I even know what the interior of the book looks like. I don't read books in the shop, but I do like to look at the art and even wait for reviews. Knowing the popularity of most Image books the fact that most if not all shops don't carry their first issue's and overstock Marvel and DC books to me is incredibly dumb and a wasted opportunity that is causing shops to eventually go out of business.
