I think you posted the wrong link there, that takes me to the user profile for Batfan.[/quote]

In an unrelated event, DC will soon publish a series entitled "Batfan: the Quest", wherein a fan of Batman attempts to meet his favorite super-hero.

DC is in significant trouble. If Final Crisis doesn;t pick up or BATMAN RIP underperforms, this will be a disaster of epic proportionss

RE: The Latest DC Sales Analysis

Speedy-D — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:49:21 GMT

Oo, it just makes my blood boil how Dan Didio is practically begging Grant Morrison to single-handedly ruin DC!

This Frisch fellow's analysis of Final Crisis is spot on.

Tabling the mighty man mallet option for the nonce, think they'd consider bringing ol' Barry back? That must be a option for at least a temporary sales bump.
I haven't bought a new comic in about 20 years, but I'd snatch that bad boy up in a big way!

It will be interesting to see if this decline is only with DC or if other publishers also start seeing this.

I thought that DC was making a real push at taking over Marvel for top publisher. Based on these numbers I really don't see it though. A lot of books sub 50k which is that range where they think about cancelling titles. I really liked the comments comparing Flash to Thor. The character needs to hibernate for a while then come back stronger.

Actually, some good news in here for me...guilt free drops to save some money with Shadowpact and JSA Classified going down for the count.

Also - with Conan ending with #50, I refuse to play the relaunch game, so that one will be gone as well.

Now - to not start buying anything new (other than Madam Xanadu).

I really hope Northlanders sticks around - that has been my favorite book next to Fables.

Aphelion — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 23:04:56 GMT

I was interested in the Legion numbers...

11/2007: Supergirl & LoSH #36 — 26,814 (- 2.0%)
12/2007: Legion of SH #37 — 45,803 (+70.8%)
01/2008: Legion of SH #38 — 33,045 (-27.9%)
02/2008: Legion of SH #39 — 31,123 (- 5.8%)

It'll be back to where it was if they don't get an old style artist. New collectors have no attention span for Jim Shooter's writing and older collectors like me can't stand the modern manga influenced art.

I have no analysis data - don't think anyone does it. Basic sales data for trades is on CBGxtra.com and ComicChronicles.com

Earl do you have any info on their TPB/HC sales?

Metalfanatic — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:03:48 GMT

I love the character, but not the book. I dropped it (Jonah Hex) a couple issues back.

the old ones are WAY better.
