    Default Sales figures for August

    Here they are:
    https://www.cbr.com/sales-chart-augu...tastic-four/2/

    Infinity Wars did better than Infinity Countdown, and did place higher than regular Batman issues. It is also a better read.
    Two issues of Justice League sold over 75,000 copies, and Avengers only did 58,925. Avengers did beat Extermination 1 and every other mutant title. Avengers also was ahead of Star Wars.
    Extermination and Deadpool were the only mutant titles to sell more than 40,000 copies.
    Fantastic Four sold great. Let us see how it holds up in future issues.

    Immortal Hulk sales are not decreasing.
    That's new for an Ewing comics
    I'm really happy for him, but personnaly, I feel it like a monkey paw wish.

    Why is THAT a monkey's paw wish?? : [ Many of us Hulk-fans are THRILLED that we finally have such a great writer as Ewing, and that the book is doing well not just with us fans, but critically as well! = )

    Too bad it's not selling all that great though... but, at least it's steady.

    for the hulk that's fairly decent

    It's certainly encouraging

    Any idea what the * next to a value means?

    I don't see it on the legend

    It means they were released before August.

    I prefer Comichron, which lists the release dates.

    Count me in that Justice League 75,000. This would be the first time ever that I bought a DC book, but no Marvel books.

    Can't believe how low the orders for Runaways are! Can't see that or Exiles lasting much longer. In fact, I think Exiles will end with issue #11

    Uh, look at Moon Girl! That's not even able to hit five figures in direct market now, and it keeps going. Seriously, those two books' survival will depend on their trade and digital sales. For that reason I don't think Exiles will end at 11 - both will get at least three trades (we're not under Alonso any more and Cebulski's not as trigger happy, he even revived Unstoppable Wasp and Iceman, which will both now get their third trade).

    I think we can safely say Quicksilver's mini bombed though.

    Why hasn’t the current batch of relaunches still not attracted a strong following? I know ASM fizzled out by eradicating the split personalities, Hulk is as attractive as its 1962 launch, Sentry doesn’t have a fan base, Avengers fizzled out by explaining the Million Year Avengers too late, and who cares about the Celestials? Captain America should have garnered more interest, but that died quickly as well. Black Panther in space seems to have lost any following.

    I think Marvel need Heroes Return, to their previous 616 universe, not this made up ANAD Reed and the kids put together. Get rid of the hangover from Secret Empire, and make Cap great again. Nothing in this relaunch has attracted me back to get a pull list.

    What the fu*k are you even talking about?

    ASM is doing great, with both issues in the Top Ten, doing numbers on par or better than Slott was doing on a regular basis.

    Immortal Hulk is a monster hit, doing better than any Hulk solo has done in ages.

    Avengers is doing great, far outperforming the previous Waid run.

    Captain America is also a huge hit, sitting comfortably in the Top 20. So it hasn't, on any level, "died quickly."

    And Black Panther hasn't "lost any following." It's still going strong, maintaining solid numbers and residing in the Top 50.

    Whether Reed and the kids put it together, whether the Beyonder put it together, whether Forbush Man put it together - IT'S ALL MADE UP.

    It was made up before, it's made up now, and - SPOILER ALERT!!! - IT WILL ALWAYS BE MADE UP. The fact that Franklin and Molecule Man put it together does not make it any less "real" than any other incarnation of the MU.
