When you pre-order from DCBS, you only receive a shipment once a month, not necessarily the same week items are released. Unless you choose the option to ship weekly or bi-weekly (which include additional shipping costs). I believe the default shipping option is once a month, the last week of the month.

FYI, I tried unsuccessfully to order the New Mutants Marvel Artist Select when it was briefly available in IST's search results on Tuesday, just before their weekly refresh of latest arrivals went up. It was removed from the shopping cart by the system before I could complete checkout, so I emailed their customer service contact to see if/when it would become available again. Here's the reply I received:
"We apologize for the inconvenience but we did not receive our full initial order of this item from our distributor so we only had enough copies to fill our preorders for the book. We are hoping to receive more copies of the New Mutants Artist Edition from our distributor but until that happens we are going to leave the item in-activate on our website."
This aligns with the info up-thread concerning Diamond overselling this volume. The good news is the implication that all pre-orders from IST should be fulfilled (meaning DCBS & ToW).
I was VERY fortunate to find one for sale at an area LCS. And I mean ONE. They had received only two, and the other was already spoken for.
Oh I know. I've been using them for years. However, if everything was copacetic it would be in my list of items for the next shipment.
I got a response from them saying they were initially shorted but diamond has assured them they will be getting the rest of their copies.
Am I the only one excited for the Clone Saga omni next month?!
Anyone seen a final cover image, as I assume the one shown so far will at least have the text removed?
To those who still do singles out there, what are some thoughts on the Apocalypse Wars story? I just saw the OHC listed on CGNs coming soon and I have been trying to cut down on some Marvel books by being highly selective of post SW books, but X-Men and Apocalypse in particular have and will always be my weak point. This and Death of X are about the only 2 I am considering at this point. Anyway some feedback would be appreciated.
I brew the beer you drink. What's your super power?
Is anyone else hoping that Tom King's Vision series makes it to OHC? Being a nice tidy 12 issues and being so well-received in my opinion it would be a no brainer, but then again it is Marvel. I really want to give the series a read after hearing nothing but good things, but want to hold out in the hopes that they'll collect it all in the one book...
Additionally, does anyone think that Waid/Samnee's Black Widow might make it to that format? On the heels of their DD collections and being touted as one of the best comic partnerships recently (completely subjective I know), this is another one I would really like to see. Not to mention that all things Waid seems to be making it to OHC these days.
