6k bump
I updated the sales statistics.
The last time RH did so good (not counting the foil cover issue) was at the start of the last arc.
Awww. This one is really cute.
And this other one is cool.
Also, because this latter artist was commenting on loose pencils and trying different things: getting loose while sketching is the right thing to do: gesturing is probably as much if not more important than having clean lines for the final drawing, imho.
Edit:
New interesting-so-far arc + New team for Jason to work with + Penguin + Gotham + variant cover + a really cool regular cover, maybe? I honestly have no idea. 6k is a lot.
Or maybe it was the vest suit. Those are cool, people know.

Depends on your taste. Personally, I think it's ugly and doesn't suit the story in that issue at all. Or the visual style inside. It's pretty "urban horror" average, honestly (with all my respects to the artist, because no way I could do something like that myself).
In any case, it couldn't be the variant cover alone. It's 6k, and it's not even a well known artist, or a collectionable event. 4k, I could see it, somehow. But 6k... That's a lot.

I don't think the cover suits the story either. However, I think this is the kind of variant cover that can increase the sales for that issue.
A well known artist can increase a lot more than 6K. In March, Supergirl with Artgerm variant cover sold 32K. In April, Supergirl without Artgerm variant cover sold 19K.
Sure but Lucio Parrillo doesn't seem to be anywhere close to Artgerm's league and I'd wager Putri's more well known and yet she has never driven sales up like this.
Maybe a boost because of the Year of the Villain event? Or the annual cover? Some old fans could have come back because they hope Artemis and Bizarro will return soon.
Or some New52 fans returned since the All-Caste plays a major role again.
