For this, I think the store sold out of Flash #1 and so I had to wait till issue 3 came out for the second printing of issue 1. That happens if an issue sells out everywhere and has to be reprinted because demand is so high. Rarely there can be third printings, though I think I’ve only noticed that happen one or two times, but I’ve never looked into it, so there are probably…….yup, third printing has happened (at least at Marvel) only 175 times. Couldn’t find much of a list for DC, but I’m sure it’s happened there too.

Ah, I forgot that I would tag some posts with the hosts of the Marvel podcast and some with the DC hosts, and the way I’m searching my Twitter is via one of the Marvel hosts username. So I will have to keep an eye out for other photos like the second one below this that I only saw while looking for the next photo tagged. This second photo was taken a day after the first one, so I didn’t expect it. It’s also possible I might have gone in the next day if these issues arrived at the store after I left the day before.

Also, that second photo shows the debut issues of New-Superman which introduced us to a newly formed Justice League of China. The title did ok but not too well. Though some of the other characters in the comic besides Superman of China were more popular. The Batman of China showed up recently in Batman comics and China’s Flash, Avery, has been in Flash comics on and off since she showed up. She’s even finally made her debut in The Flash show on the CW this season (In the season 8 mid-season premier, the week before last at the time of writing this). She’s not the same iteration of the character, but it’s pretty cool to see her.
