JLA Sold Out at DC

DC’s latest newsletter has proudly proclaimed that three issues of the current Syndicate Rules storyline has sold out. Unlike some comic book companies DC delibrately over prints their runs so that retailers can reorder a title if they sell out. What his announcement means is that DC has run out of their own over print stock. Still it’s a good sign. The release has a quote from Kurt Busiek,

“This is great! I’m thrilled to hear that it’s doing this well,” says Busiek. “It’s been fun to see the audience reaction as this story has built, ramping up in tension every month. We’re at the halfway point now, and things have just broken open big time. #111 is a major smackdown between the JLA and the CSA that changes everything, and after that, it keeps getting bigger and the stakes keep getting higher – battles on Earth, in space, in the anti-matter universe, and Justice Leaguers being rung in to help from the reserves and the Elite. It’s been a privilege working with Ron Garney on this arc. His art’s only gotten bolder and more dynamic over the course of it, and I’m eager to see it all play out.”
