Is there no comics shop that imports stuff in France, Philippe? Maybe try one of the ones in the UK? Like http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk
Edited to add:
(And I just realised that FP seemingly doesn't do single issue comicbooks, only TPBs, but there's bound to be some around. Anyone from the UK care to help out by recommending a good one that's also doing business on-line?)

And think about it, with at least 20 issues, we get nearly 2 years of Next Men. Hooray!

You can count the number of monthly comics I collect on two fingers.....this will definitely be on my list of monthly purchases. Next men was (and still is) one on my favourite comics and I'm genuinely looking forward to the new series.

We don't know yet how well NEXT MEN will sell in this present market. DANGER UNLIMITED and LAB RATS both went down in flames in large part because some retailers refused to order them, even with customers standing there with money in hand. IDW has to turn a profit on this, or it will simply not be worth their while to continue publishing.

So...the NM will be time-travelling for a whiles, or what?•• Yes, that major direction shift of which I wrote earlier. I introduced the time travel elements with the intent of seeing them eventually become the main plot thread.

HOLY CRAP! WHERE HAVE I BEEN? LIVING IN A CAVE? MY BRAIN A-SPLODE! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! Time to go tear off my clothes and go live in the woods like an animal, live off twigs, shoots, and grubs, etc. HOLY HANNAH! MY HEART IS UP IN MY THROAT! WAAAGHHH! Etc. etc. etc. I'm going to be nineteen years old again, or something like that. Bring me back, bring me back, bring me back. You have no idea. Best story ever, period. The favorite of millions. Make mine Next Men! Recovered Marvel Zombies for Next Men, Unite! Face Front, True Believers!

so what kind of sales numbers do we need to keep Next Men around? IDW is a bigger publisher now, but their individual books don't generate huge sales numbers.
Obviously numbers will be higher when the book returns and will drop as retailers figure out how many are actually selling.
Also, IDW puts everything in trade format, so many potential buyers will wait for the trade, or even the collected hard cover since there are already two (with a third) coming.
Many readers will buy the first couple issues and say to themselves, "oh, this is good. I'll wait for the trade edition to get the rest of the series..." It's just how the current readership/market is conditioned.
Perhaps IDW should publish some smaller and cheaper color trade editions to get new fans introduced to Next Men again. Reprint the volumes Darkhorse put out years ago.

That sounds like a great idea but I can only afford to buy 20 copies of each issue every month.
