Okay, granted it's kind of a smallish book not a comics periodical...but at 64 pages and $6.99, the latest issue of LEGO® NINJAGO isn't really a full-on trade paperback either. Thus its announced 425,000 copy first printing does put it in kind of a "tween" land as far as sales figures go. And yes it is a licensed product. but anyway you slice it 425K is a LOT of copies—and as the attached pr mentions, it's only up from 200K printings on earlier issues. Because, well, you know, kids love comics...and Legos.

I read (almost) every Free Comic Book Day title, and let you know what's the best!

New comics! Fun stuff for everyone! (And, of course, before you hand the book over to a young impressionable mind, you have to read it first to make sure it is age-appropriate!)

Okay... continuing on with Fall previews, we move to one of the Big Six pubishers. No, not comics, the mainstream Big Six, the ones which dominate American and English bookselling. Macmillan is part of of the Holtzbrinck Group, and includes such marques as Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Henry Holt, St. Martin's, Tor, Scientific American, and, of particular interest to comics fans, First Second Books.
