It's now October 2 and I'm finally getting to the August sales numbers. While I am to blame for the lateness of this write-up, it's partly due to the fact that the numbers themselves came out a bit later than usual and because of that........... Well, I actually forgot about them. Don't worry though, I finally got back on the sales number trolley and put this together for all to enjoy. Like every other month we look at, I'm not going to be posting Hanna-Barbara numbers or collected digital first issues and because they just keep coming.......... because of how bad ass Rebirth is, I won't be listing the continued sales of Rebirth or any of the other older books that just keep tickling people's wallets and getting them to explore what DC Comics has to offer. Alright, let's check out what August was like and see if DC is still kicking ass and taking names with their Rebirth launch.

Goddamn did Harley and Justice League drop down from their
initial sales. While I imagine Harley
will start settling down so we can see what it will sell on a regular basis,
there’s no way that Justice League will maintain its over a 100,000 status…… I say that, but I still hear people talking
about how great it is, so what do I know?

While I understand why people may have dropped Superman off
their pull list……… you know, with all that Eradicator nonsense. What I want you
to realize is it’s gotten back on track and is one of the titles I look forward
to the most now. Who can say no to little Jon?

Okay, this is one of the best books that DC Comics is
putting out right now and for the most part, it keeps getting better and better
each issue……….. So why the hell is it dropping in sales? Is the twice monthly bit scaring people off
because of the cost? It’s crazy.

Goddamn, Titans. That’s
a hell of a drop. I know you’re taking
your time to really get things crackin’, but with the sales dropping at this
rate, you won’t have many readers left in a couple of months.

There is something seriously wrong in the world when Hal
Jordan fighting Sinestro doesn’t create some kind of excitement in the common
comic book reader. Yeah, things aren’t
moving as fast as I would like them to, but it’s weird as hell seeing this book
doing so poorly compared to others.

Now this is a goddamn shame.
Six Pack and Dogwelder is a hilarious book and anyone who has any kind
of sick sense of humor should be picking this up……….. Maybe there’s a lot less
people out there with that kind of sense of humor than I thought, but either
way, pick up this book!
