I don't recall any ads that went "TOMASI IS COMING!"
A good point, but there was a ton of Rebirth advertising and Clark and Jon were both featured very prominently, so Tomasi's run *did* get plenty of advertising.

Like I said, I don't know what DC expected from Bendis. Maybe they did expect him to sell a ton of comics, though I don't know why they'd think that looking at Bendis' last years at Marvel. Maybe they were just *hoping* he'd sell well but not *expecting* it? Who knows? But given how Bendis sold before leaving Marvel and how Superman usually sells, it seems a strange thing to expect Bendis on Superman performing markedly better than usual to me.

And I've mostly enjoyed Bendis' run, so I'm not hating on the guy or anything. I'll be sad to see him go, since DC is likely to give us worse.
