Question: what determines what gets a second printing? Does IDW already know that retails have sold out and that demand is high after just one week of being released? It must be challenging for the people who decided how much to print each time to maximize profits but not get stuck with inventory that they can't sell (loss of money). I'm glad I'm not in the publishing business.

But I'm glad to see a second printing. IDW's UY #2 had different cover art. If that is the case here, then hardcore fans have another reason to buy the issue, and collectors have another reason to buy too. Win win. :)

Peace, maka
