Earlier this month, Supergirl #12 came out. It was the first to sport an Stanley 'Artgerm' Lau variant cover. Artgerm certainly produces eye-grabbing, truly spectacular art. And I immediately notice a couple of aftershocks.
1) The number of Supergirl issues on the rack of my dramatically less than usual for a Wednesday afternoon and all the Artgerm covers were already sold.
2) My store thankfully pulled both covers off the shelves figuring it would sell out quickly.
3) That cover was up on walls at Terrificon last weekend and was already tagged at $10
4) I already wondered if these covers would somehow drive up orders/sales.
Well, lo and behold, it looks like that might be true.
Well according to Bleeding Cool, Supergirl #13 is the #4 advance reordered issue. Here is the link:

But please note that it is the variant edition that has been reordered.
Amazing. I can't remember the last time a Supergirl issue was on this list.
Here is the Artgerm cover for Supergirl #13.
I guess whatever leads to healthier sales/orders makes me happy. Hopefully people who buy it will read the inside, like the story, and keep buying when Lau leaves.
But I don't mind thinking short term about this.
