Just 3 years ago DC had 8-9/10 spots on a monthly basis.

Well, no batman at all this month is quite something. It's a good thing that DC had three prestige books here, because otherwise, I doubtb it'd have made it.
-
Man, people sure like apocalyptic DC stories I guess...

With the way the DCU is going right now, seeing it destroyed by zombies is kind of preferable.
-
Didio and Lee were absolute morons for not giving Hickman [B]whatever[/B] he wanted to get him to jump ship.

It's too soon to know if Batman #79's combined sales will see it crack the top 10 (the details will be published Monday), but the card stock variants, which sell for $1.00 more, get counted separately by Diamond. So while all main and variant covers at the same retail price get counted together, the card stocks get counted separately. Comichron has been putting out tables that can combined the sales of the comics to show the total sales of a particular issue.
That Harleen has done so well suggests that Stjefan Sejic may be greenlighted to produce a Poison Ivy Black Label mini-series too. He's at least suggested he has some ideas for that.

I suspect the sequel stories he wants to write are becoming more and more likely.
-
Not too worried. Remember, half of these in the top ten are Hickman’s X-Men relaunch.

I'd argue it's another drop in their ocean of poor decisions at this point.

Funny when that is pointed out when Batman books do the same thing-all I hear is "Batman sales and that is how it is suppose to be".
For a franchise that someone in CHARGE tried to bury not the other franchise that took the abuse for his choice. It seems they are recovering better than Dc Rebirth.

The thing is Batman sales are usually a constant for DC.
We don't know if the popularity of Hickman’s X-Men relaunch will last.
I mean if Hickman’s X-Men last more than 50 issues in a similar position you will have a point.
-
The problem with DC is they don't have strong franchises...
Legion of Super Heroes and Titans offer such potential, yet DC choose to ignore it.
-
Amazing performance by Spawn. 300 issues and top of the tree is a great feat.
-
Harleen did really good and for that price point too its probably enough to maybe celebrate a sequel series now
Assuming those numbers hold
