Ssalefish GSO First Look #209 for 5.5.21
Obviously the world was unprepared for the reception of Batman/ Fortnite Zero Point! On our side of things, we saw the lukewarm reception to Marvel’s crossover with the same game in 2020 and DC’s rush-job soliciting the series at the last minute and forcing us to commit our orders for the first four issues of the six part series before it even started, and we went semi-conservative on our orders, but still similar to what we got on Next Batman Second Son #1 and Batman the Detective #1, neither of which sold out.
But this was a different beast all together and we probably could have sold four times as many and the calls keep coming in daily, mainly from kids that we hate to be disappointing! Due to this demand, we’re already sold out of first printings of Batman/ Fortnite Zero Point #2 that ships next week, and anyone that doesn’t already have it on order will have to wait for the 2nd printings that ship on Tuesday, June 1st, the same day as the 3rd printing of #1 and pre-release 2nd printing of #3.
First printings of #3, guest-starring G.I. Joe’s Snake Eyes, and the rest of the series are still available for pre-order as of this posting, including the “Premium” variants!
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, May 5th (Tuesday, May 4th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
