Batman topped 100k for its entire new52 run.

Post your question on John Mayo's website forum http://www.comicbookpage.com

Agree. It was announced at Wondercon he was working on something for the latter half of 2016. I hope it's something Harbinger related. That run was great!

In a nutshell (all according to JonBoy Meyers), Wood wanted to go down a traditional route of Spawn leading an army of homeless against gangs. Jenkins and JonBoy were plotting to keep Wanda dead,...

Digital cannot offer the same communal discovery and reading experience. I have memories of reading x-men, spiderman, MAD magazine together with friends. All the comics were spread our between us...

For those interested in where Wood/Jenkins/Jonboy wanted to take Spawn, check out this podcast - http://dangerpod.podbean.com//e/undercover-capes-featuring-jonboy-meyers/.

The podcast runs almost...

Depends on your sentimental value. Framing the issues could cause some damage or fading. The five issue run is going for $15-20 on ebay; you could pickup a second set and hang those.

Here's something I thought about doing - Frameless picture frames.

I think they're from Ikea. Found this idea in Robot 6's shelf porn.

Is that what DC fans really want - endless streams of #1's, each with 15 variants? That is what Marvel does to inflate their numbers. DC fans lost their mind with the New52 reboot. There are other...

No mention in today's article of Todd at NYCC about Paul Jenkins leaving the book or why Jonboy is no longer on art. Weird transition of creative teams since 250. I am looking forward to the...

Usually the tale of the tape is the 4th issue. By then retailers know how many to preorder for their pulls and racks. I agree that a lot of the DCYou launch was underwhelming. Also many of their...

1. East of West
2. The Wicked + The Divine
3. Low

Keep an eye on Injection. Loved the first three issues.

Painting or adding graphics to the cabinets?

Another writer change back to McFarlane? Why does he even bother asking others to write Spawn?

The art has been fantastic but I think Jenkins needed more time.

While Marvel and DC continue to fight over the superhero genre, Image slowly gains market share on the monthlies and solidifies its place as a trades leader.

If this was a Batgirl cover for a "Death of the Family" crossover would it still be as controversial? Probably not. It's a damn scary portrayal of the Joker and Rafael Albuquerque should be given...

I know DC had a return policy when the weeklies were first released. I see the same stacks at my LCS but sales figures must be decent. Batman Eternal sells-in numbers are in the 30ks.

Fantastic 'how the sausage is made' column.

"I don't think that many of these books are genuinely profitable for the publishers, either"

Then why continue to publish those books? How can the...

Best of the bunch is East of West.

Glad to see people reading Elephantmen - A consistently good book. Issue 59 was one of the best single issues of the year.

Remender's Low is...

I was really looking forward to the new direction by buying back issues I missed when I left the book in the 90's. If Todd wants to keep writing, then he should, but the book does need a new...

Unbelievable

Enjoyed the column. Thanks!

How is your setup for crowd-heavy events like FCBD different from hosting creators?

The key question to the sales increases is - is there an increase in readership? That is something the shop owners can answer for their store but how would we know for the overall market?

How about hiring the guy who made that fan short film? That was good but I'll settle for a new animated series.

90K is still good enough to get in the top ten in comic sales and some longevity in trade sales. Marvel won't change or do anything unique to change the course of its strategy. Heck, look at the...

Thank you Todd.
