Comics Marketing: Don’t Ask! Just Buy!

This was seen while I was prepping my latest order through DCBService.com: Wildstorm is asking retailers (and the fans who may pre-order the book) to buy the first three issues of their Fringe tie-in comic without knowing who the creators involved are, only that the show is created by Abrams, Orci, and Kurtzman.

…

Yeah.

    Yeah, that’s pretty stupid. On the plus side, as far as DCBService.com: they’ll let you add books to your order all along the way. That’s why I often buy a first issue and don’t pre-order the 2nd or 3rd until I’ve read #1.

    Isn’t the first issue due out pretty soon? This makes me expect great things from this book.
