It's sadly for the best because too many FOLKS especially those who don't even read DC or Marvel use those list as weapons to attack certain creators and books of POC, LGBTQA and some females. As some proof nobody is buying a book that feel should never exist in the first place.
And those lists were always book SHIPPED to a store.
And there is another factor-not every book listed in Preview Worlds is a title that can be ordered by stores.
Static's Arika Homage cover-that cover did not appear in any Final Order List of any store in my city.
And last factor-DC and Marvel ONLY cares about PRE-ORDERS. They don't care how many copies sell to a person or how many rot on a shelf.
So while that might work for Bat Jesus. That doesn't help JSA, Blue Beetle, Waid's Teen Titans, Jon Boy Kent and the Milestone books.
Because both of those tend to be books that sell out whatever copies and that's it. First come first serve and wait on the trade.
It's not that they are not selling-they don't warrant large orders. Which is what DC wants.
Meanwhile at Boom and Image-they put X numbers and then reprint. You can't tell me some of those books warrant 5-7 reprints. No they are doing low print runs.
