02/08  Amazing Spider-Man #549 - 101,112  ( +3.2%)
02/08  Amazing Spider-Man #550 -  90,874  (-10.1%)
02/08  Amazing Spider-Man #551 -  88,084  ( -3.1%)
                              

Issue #549 had a variant cover by David Finch, hence the blip. Sales on the thrice-monthly AMAZING are still dropping back and have yet to find their level, but that’s only to be expected at this stage. It’s still way ahead of the sales that the three separate monthly titles used to deliver. And if you look back over the last few years, it’s doing just as well as the J Michael Straczynski run, from the period before events and crossovers took over the book. So far, this is looking okay.

Seems to be holding up okay. It will be interesting to see how March did.

I keep hoping for Amazing to take a huge nosedive. Maybe it'll start with March now that the first 2 months of pre-orders are through. I really, really want this title to tank. I hate Joe Quesada.

"I hate Joe Quesada."

on the plus side, sales of Joe Quesada are down by 50%.

It has. Do not be fooled. Look at the most recent data. All that is saving the title now is that all three books have been wrapped into one and that there are incentive variants forcing higher ordering. The book is dropping dramatically and will continue to do so. In the next 60 days, you will see the results as by then the orders should begin to reflect what customers are bying, not what the shops ordered in advance. Given all the books still sitting on shelves, LCS's are still cutting back here.

6 month comparison
===================

- 17.3% - Amazing Spider-Man


1 year comparison
==================

- 39.4% - Amazing Spider-Man
