The X-Men Gay Wedding Hype is Boosting Orders

The hype over the possible gay wedding in the Astonishing X-Men is clearly paying off. The orders for their 50th issue is booming big time.

Bleeding Cool reports:

This week, Marvel’s new incentives to retailers to increase their orders of Astonishing X-Men #50, with an eye to selling it a day early, with a large media presence for the presumed gay wedding issue, has seen advance reorders of the book rocket to the top of the chart, with the Create Your Own cover for issue 51 also getting traction.

Remember, this is often the only way retailers can order second and third prints of a book, so their prescence on the chart is exaggerated, as is Hit Girl, hich was missed off the original order form and can also only be ordered in this fashion.

This is great! It's always nice to know that the Gay geeks are becoming a strong force.
