Just down to us to actually buy it now ;).

Congrats to IDW, you kept the flame, you deserve a bit of a reward I reckon.

I've definitely warned my local comic book store owner: I will not just want to buy every issue, I also want every cover! I'm very excited about this new series, and I hope it runs forever.

embers | October 16, 18:52 CET

Cool, I'll raise my order estimates for the first issue to above 30k then.

This is wonderful news !

Fan-frakkin'-tastic! The Whedonverse keeps on ruling. I love it.

Well IDW's first Transformers comic sold 45,468 copies according to ICv2 so it's got to at least be higher than that.

Derf | October 17, 00:28 CET

This is great news! I'm glad people are taking notice!

Dan Corson | October 17, 01:45 CET

Oh, I'll buy it, Simon, I'll definitely buy it!

I can't wait!!!

Well I hope this info translates to being actually able to find them.
I had such a hard time finding Spike Asylum and Shadow Puppets. I would end up going to several shops and then sometimes ended up having to buy online, or special ordering.Very frustrating. And I live in LA, a rather large market I would say.

Xane | October 17, 09:33 CET

Xane, have you tried Meltdown?

dreamlogic | October 17, 10:18 CET

All I can say is: Pre-ordering is your friend.

Niels | October 17, 13:22 CET

And ebay is your friend's slutty sister. You know it's there if you're desperate, but do you really want the hassle and the loss of your self respect?

Whoops, what are we taking about again? Oh, comics.

Xane- I went to Golden Apple on Melrose during my last trip to LA and had to be dragged away kicking and screaming. (Mind you, that happens to me with MOST shops. Even supermarkets.)

Amazon's market place had the Buffy season 8 comic books for sale so I would imagine some one there will be selling After The Fall.

Simon | October 17, 18:27 CET

It is good to tell your local comic book store owner ahead of time that you'll be wanting them, and make sure he pre-orders them. Of course my fall back position is always to turn to midtowncomics.com who are happy to ship.

embers | October 17, 21:35 CET

What is this meltdown?

I pre-ordered and pre-paid for Spike Asylum from my local shop, Brave New World, and it still didn't come in for weeks after it was out.

Honestly, I just can't wait that long, I'm gonna want it the day it comes out!

That's why ebay and Amazon are no good either.

Even Things from Another World at City Walk don't seem to carry them. What is wrong with them?

Whereabouts in Golden Apple on Melrose? Sounds fun.

And this?
"And ebay is your friend's slutty sister. You know it's there if you're desperate, but do you really want the hassle and the loss of your self respect?"
Was funny.
