    Default Sales figures for March

    Here are sales figures for March:
    https://www.cbr.com/march-2018-comic...ales-charts/2/

    Amazing Spider-Man 797 was the company's bestseller.
    Infinity Countdown 1 failed to get 100,000 copies sold. Not good for an event.
    Mighty Thor 705 (Jane died) did great.
    Avengers 684 sold as well as Star Wars.
    All four issues of Avengers outsold two issues of Justice League. I think that is great.
    This month's issues of Avengers did better than February's issues. The No Surrender event is going well for Avengers.
    The second issue of X-Men Red fell below 50,000.
    Thanos 17 sold 42,231 copies, and the series is cancelled!

    Hulkverine in the top 5.
    That's why we can't have nice things.

    Thanos isn't cancelled, it's just ending. Not everything ends due to sales.

    Scarlet Spider is doomed, surely? It's easily the worst selling spider book.

    Champions is down to 18k, hopefully the new creative team will change it's fortunes.

    I'm pissed that people aren't giving such a great book a chance.

    I pray that people give the upcoming Fantastic Four book the chance it deserves.

    I'm guessing it'll end around 20-22 and that Peter David will have some type of conclusion for it.
    I bit surprised it's that low that fast on the other hand, it is not the Ben Reilly(again) that fans have been clamoring for.
    Marvel really missed a chance here.

    I'm waiting to get it all in trades down the road. I've heard mixed things about it.

    I think FF needs to be propped up if it can't sell. Marvel has to keep the franchise flagship going no matter what. We can't go another year or two without an FF book. That shouldn't happen.

    Exactly, Donny Cates stated so and that there are huge summer plans for Thanos, which we now know to be the Infinity Wars event.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Cates and Shaw are doing a Thanos tie-in one-shot or mini for that like what Marvel’s doing for Infinity Countdown.
    Floppies as of November: Adventures of the Super Sons, Batman, Catwoman, The Green Lantern, Black Panther, Dead Man Logan, Domino, Exiles, Iceman, Immortal Hulk
    Digital as of November: Daughters of the Dragon, Iron Fist: Phantom Limb, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage.

    Thanos deserves another ongoing in Marvel Fresh Start. He's PROVEN(many times actually) that he has a solid/loyal fanbase.

    Hulkverine is an example of why the comic book retail stores are struggling. Talk about over ordering a book

    Sales certainly justify it. Cates has merely completed the story he wanted to tell, and is moving on to the Cosmic Ghost Rider spin-off.

    It's doing better than I expected given that's it's not actually an ff book

    it's a great read imo

    Guess fans are sick of those lol.

    Avengers 684 sold as well as Star Wars.
    Noice, looks like the Hulk's return is considered that good overall.

    All four issues of Avengers outsold two issues of Justice League. I think that is great.
    If JL is still bland like X-Men Gold, then I'm not that surprised.

    As far as I hear, he was actualy interesting when introduced and whatnot, then his own comic turns out to be actualy good, and it's a first issue, so it's not surprising it sold well, shocking it's so high though.

    Does Marvel advertise the comic well? 'Cause in case they don't then it could explain why it's not higher, of course, it could be the best comic ever and not be selling that high even with proper advertisement, this kind of **** can just happen unfortunately...

    Priest's JL is definitely not X-Men Gold level of quality, but I imagine the Scott Synder relaunch will put JL back on the top of the charts.

    I'm actually curious to see how Synder's JL and Aaron's Avengers will go head-to-head with each other.
