Market Monday: Light Week
I thought for sure Diamond screwed something up—and I’m still not ruling that out—because they list all of 70-odd books coming out this week. Some of those, however, are not included in the final count of lady-talent. Marvel’s “Must-Have” collections of the first three issues of given series, are counted as 2nd printings. However, I’d still like to point them out, in case you’re not reading them already!
