This is all marketing.

The red looks better then the blue.

I saw plenty of people buying the book yesterday, but no shortages. It was all the same regular comics readers, but unlike the DC New 52 launch there was no real sense of excitement in the air or people rushing in the store who weren't already weekly comics buyers.

That being said, using the MGS method for evaluation it's clear the book is currently selling quite briskly, but at or below cover price in most cases indicating high interest but no true dearth of copies at this point in time.

Does your shop still have copies of The Walking Dead #92 or #93? I would buy all of those instead.

I unfortunately can't find the first printing variants. :smt013

The comic vine review quote is very sexy.

All those quotes suck a whole lot of dick, but the Comic Vine one really seems to revel in taking it in the eyes.

It's takes work and some creativity to suck dick.
Other than Comic Vine, those quotes are lazy and unoriginal.

One time I was sorting through a big lot of smutty books from the '60s and '70s (or earlier in some cases), and there was this circa 1970 full-color illustrated guide to giving good head. It was even called "How To Give Better Head" or something like that. Anyway, I was joking around with a couple of the women in the cafe who I knew and showed it to them and I'll be damned if they didn't fight over which of them would buy it! :lol:
