I'm just hoping for enough sales of the IDW color hardcovers so they have to re-print the 1st volume AND reprint it in the correct dimensions of vol 2 and 3

RELIEVED to hear this! The 12-issue question in another thread got me seriously worried!

@ JB
Diamond Distribution is the bottle-neck I get that.Back issues are part of
the plan too. Shouldn't there be an option for retailers who don't want or
need back stock to unload it cleanly.Buy backs or credit towards the next
order. That way stores that want/need the stock can buy it.
The comics industry needs people on the business end that know what
isn't working and how to fix it. Super-markets and Convenience stores
aren't going to want back issues. Comic shops do.
The wider venues won't take something they can't sell all of.
.:*sigh*:.

Hardly anyone wants back issues these days. Why buy six or seven comics for cover price, with ads, which take up six or seven issues worth of space, when you can get a cheaper trade with NO ads that takes up LESS space?

How about THIS... how about all issues of a series be labeled with #1? *** There once was a series called "Milk and Cheese" which came out with four first issues (as in, "our fourth first issue!") before finally doing their "First Second Issue!" http://www.houseoffun.com/milkandcheese/gallery.html

++++You know, the stuff I buy is usually cheaper to get in individual issues than
in TPB format. Recent example: ABADAZAD (Mike Ploog art, buck a poo in
back issues),

I hate to admit it, but I buy most of my comics in TP form nowadays. I'm not in it to find that One Issue That Will Be Worth A Fortune One Day, so I'd just as soon have the whole story at once. But it would be nice to see comics sold in places besides comic book shops. I would think that would be something the publishers would want. Imagine the possibilities if Marvel comics were sold at Wal-Mart?

If this means that John Byrne's Next Men #39 (going by your most recent estimate that you could tell the current story in nine issues) leads into Next Men: Aftermath #40, I like that!

First of all: Excited about AFTERMATH!
Second: Diamond just released figures showing that the comic books sale had gone down 27,70 % from December to January, and "graphic novels" had declined by 32,41 %.
Even though a decline from December to January is normal, it's still an even bigger fall than the previous year (22,91 % for comic books).
So doomed? Looks like it.

That would be nice. (I think the first volume was the "correct" size though.)

Petter, parts of the US in December and January had record snowfall, which probably kept a lot of people away from the shops. I would not be surprised if it explained much of the bigger than expected decline in sales.
