March 29, 2012 4:38 am We have some serious increasing issues with diamond. Just this week they called to inform us that one of our Bowes of comics ended up in Washington (we are in CA.) They have also been known to send us books that we never ordered or books that were clearly damaged at the diamond warehouse. They certainly have some major kinks that need to be worked out. But as for now we can't really do anything because they are the only comic distributor. The perk of work at a comic shop is being able to read anything you want. The downside is counting down the days for your favorite book to arrive and realizing it ain't comin haha

March 28, 2012 5:01 am I work at a comic store and we get all of our comics in on Tuesday, this title was not among them. Neither was American Vampire #25. I am not sure if it is an issue at Diamond or simply a publisher error. The owner will be calling Diamond tomorrow to find out what the deal is, but he thinks that the publishers may have just pushed the release dates back. My shop uses a program called Comic Suite. When the Diamond order forms pop up 2 months in advance, it allows us to insert the amount of copies we would like to receive of the issues that they will be releasing. The moment we open the new monthly order form from Diamond, Comic Suite automatically fills in the quantities that have been requested by our comic subscribers. For example, if 5 people have Secret Avengers on their pull list, every month when the order form is opened Secret Avengers would automatically have 5 issues ordered for us. We then, of course, can go back and adjust the number accordingly. The point is that, for a shop like mine that uses this subscription/pull list program, there is no way that we would just NOT get Secret Avengers because there were already copies automatically reserved for the people that request it monthly. Long story short, the title will be coming but apparently not this week.

March 22, 2012 5:56 pm Overly excited about this title every month. I suggest it to everyone that comes into my shop. We certainly had to jump on that second printing release.

March 22, 2012 5:54 pm I am already buying too many titles, but I had to add this one to the list.

March 22, 2012 5:52 pm I found this title to be very refreshing. The art and dialogue was almost comical. It's like watching a bad b-movie. So much fun :)

March 22, 2012 5:45 pm That's how I felt as well. It was so packed with action the story seemed to get thrown to the side. I did like the art... but I won't be reading the second issue.
