It's time to start CHECKING THE NUMBERS again and see how our big bad Rebirth books are doing for Mr. DC's bank account....... and from the look of things, that dude will be able to buy another rickshaw no problem now. As per usual, we're only looking at what we consider the "main books" that DC Comics are putting out........ plus the Hanna Barbara books, but this will probably be the last month that I post the estimated sales for those. With that said, don't go expecting VERTIGO books or collected digital titles to show up here....... because that would be too much work. So go check out how your favorite books are faring in this brave new world of Rebirth.

Don’t worry folks, this doesn’t represent the full scope of
people buying Superman, just the ones who were late to the party and bought it
late. Here’s how many people bought it
who were on the ball….estimated. 54,317

So while a shit ton of people picked up the 2nd
printing of this, it looks like there were a bunch of 1st printings
to snag as we see here.

Yup, more folks jumping on the Quest trolley a little late.
50. Scooby Apocalypse #1

Should I keep talking about the people buying these things
late?
51. Justice League #50

What did people go in late to by the Hanna Barbara books and
figure “What the hell, I might as well check out a Justice League #50?” The book previously sold 92,423

This is a real shame right here. I know that everyone is on a Rebirth kick and
is subconsciously telling all the New 52 books to suck it because of that, but
if you haven’t picked up Bloodlines yet, you totally should be it isn’t
definitely worth the cover price.
That’s it for the numbers this month and goddamn does it
look like nobody gives a shit about anything but Rebirth anymore…….. Which is
kind of understandable….. but don’t forget about some of these other books
because a handful will bridge into Rebirth issues in the next couple of months.
Sad to see Bloodlines so low, besides that though it's nice to see Rebirth really doing well for DC.
ReplyDeleteJim because of your review, you single handedly cut the number of Scooby Apocalypse by 40k. That must be a record somewhere.
