Media Release -- Diamond's top-selling reorder and advance reorder products for the week of 5/14/2012-5/20/2012.
The dead keep walking and their books keep selling, as evidenced by the continued presence of Image Comics' The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1 TP at the head of the Top 25 Reorder Comics/GN/TP chart. On the Advance Reorders chart, the appearance of [SPOILER ALERT]
Thanos at the end of Marvel's The Avengers is sending consumers into comic shops in search of stories featuring the mad Titan. Marvel Comics obliges with the chart-topping new printing of Silver Surfer: The Rebirth of Thanos TP.
On the Top 25 Reorder Products Chart, the growing popularity of Dr. Banner's smashing alter ego as a result of Marvel's The Avengers is translating into plenty of green for retailers, thanks to Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles' Marvel Select: Avengers Movie Hulk AF Case. Among Advance Reorders, Playmates Toys tops this week's chart with an old-school tribute to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the TMNT Retro Collector AF Assortment.
