Mile High Bets Big on Star Wars Comics

In the June 15, 2015 Mile High Comics newsletter, Mile High Comics owner Chuck Rozanski wrote:

If the solid demand that we are seeing right now for all the other Star Wars variant editions is any indication, these are going to very quickly be in very high demand, too.  With six Star Wars films now planned over the next five years, we anticipate that the Marvel Star Wars titles could easily be out-selling their entire superhero line within a very short period.

Mile High Comics is betting big on Marvel Star Wars comics.  In addition to shop exclusive variants for Star Wars #1 - 6 and Princess Leia #1 - 5, Mile High will also have shop exclusives for Star Wars #7 - 12.  Many newsletter's have talked about how Mile High is ordering big on the Star Wars titles.

It wasn't until I saw the Bleeding Cool article Mile High Comics Spent $150K On Star Wars Variant Covers - And Has Just Broken Even that I realized the investment that Mile High Comics is making in the new Marvel Star Wars titles.  Rozanski's shop was around in 1977 when the original Marvel Star Wars comics were released and undoubtedly he has first hand knowledge the impact the original Star Wars #1 had on comics.  I suspect he sees the huge potential these comics will have this year with a new movie on it's way.
