September 2019 sales

[Snoop Dogg]

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy apparently made over 100K and would have placed eighth with all the variant covers but Diamond just changed the way it counts variant cover sales and now counts variant sales as separate entries altogether, hence Harley and Ivy have placed only at 16 on the list without their variants being counted.

When will you LEARN, X-Office?! When will you LEARN?!

Astonishing X-Men #1: 209k
New X-Men #114: 144k

Astonishing X-Men #6: 134k
New X-Men #119 (its 6th issue): 124k

Astonishing X-Men #24 (its final issue): 107k
New X-Men #137 (its 24th issue): 104k

Looks like Whedon's run was the one with big drops once you get past its variant-boosted first arc.

issue by issue Astonishing x-men used to have higher sales on 110k and 120k rage

while new x-men was usually 105k below

You have to take inflation into account. $1.25 in the early ‘80s is going to be something like $3.50 today.

This was a double issue. Late ‘80’s. I think 1988.

1986, lol - it says so on the cover, it's an annual! Normal issues would say the month but not the year.

But that comic would cost $4.99 today. It isn't just inflation.

Oops on year. Thanks for clarifying what was already there.

Agree on inflation comment with the caveat that not all prices inflate at the same rate/time and paper is a product that has increased more than inflation as a whole during that time gap.

[Digifiend]

It's not just the cost of paper. The cost of production is a factor. The print runs are smaller nowadays, and therefore it costs more to print each copy of a comic (same goes for most magazines and newspapers too).

1986. And probably during the summer.

Yeah, August, if the wiki is right.
