>Die Die! Die! #1, which shipped without being solicited and went on sale July 11, landed in 174th place even though it was the highest-circulation Image book of the month. That's because its initial shipment, reportedly equal to the 80,000 or so copies shipped of Robert Kirkman's previous launch, Oblivion Song #1, was provided to retailers at no charge, and Diamond confirmed it had treated those copies as promotional items. Retailers reordered 9,975 copies in July in the United States and Canada, and it is those copies that appear in the table below. The number of copies in circulation, however, is more than 90,000.
