Guilty Pleasures comics did indeed sell out

Dammit. LKH and Co. actually got their details right for once:

(Then again, I wonder how much of that number is suckers like me who ordered, but then changed their minds when the Marvel merge was announced, but were too late to cancel and they didn't want to leave their comic store in a lurch.)

C'est la vie. After all, isn't there a saying to the effect "What's good is not always popular; what's popular is not always good"?

I'm such a layman I could turn it into a superpower, but aren't the numbers printed in the first run variable? Would it be possible that the publishers were just really cautious and did a small first run, thus making it easier for the comic to sell out?

That's entirely possible too. I'm no comics expert by any means, but I highly doubt that they made as many copies of GP #1 as.... say, any X-Men book.
