THE ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN #1 is available for preorder!

Posted on by

Give your local comic shop PREVIEWSworld order code JAN170133 to “preorder” THE ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN #1 from Nick Brokenshire, Adam P. Knave, Frank Cvetkovic, Shantel LaRocque, Dark Horse Comics, and me. The comics industry is wacky, with very little room for error when shops order their books. They use preorders to help determine how many copies of a book to order in general, if at all. Even if you’re already planning on buying the book when you see it on the shelves March 1, 2017, it’s vitally important to preorder it now. Thank you so much for your support of our comics and comics in general!
