Hmm... yeah, make sense.
Would a new line-wide relaunch gets any different results than the Infinite Frontier one or individual titles' renumbering?As for the long term, yeah, there has to be a relaunch coming. Sales across the board at DC just arenÂ’t good, only Batman is selling well. IÂ’m assuming that after WilliamsonÂ’s 2022 event there will be a linewide relaunch. Hopefully PKJ will get to continue like how Venditti did on GL. I want to see this big epic story heÂ’s setting up that involves Aethyr. My guess is that heÂ’ll get to continue to 1050 at the very least, provided there are no dramatic dip in sales, and after that weÂ’ll see.
What DiDio used to do was literally blowing up the previous continuities (Pre-FP, New52 or Rebirth's if 5G would've happened) to draw attention to the line. Come to check our new #1s, everything is changed!
But, on the past Fandome, Jim Lee openly dismissed this business practice calling it a gimmick to boost sales temporary.
I don't see the new regime trying anything similar anytime soon, but just let each book/franchise stand on its own. Flash and WW are reliable sellers and would stay in the lower 30k range anyway, like they do from years now. It's just SM that it seems is dropping more than its usual sales and the other DC's non-BM books.
I guess so.
From what we saw, I don't see how The Warworld Saga can be considered this big event anyway. No tie-ins or crossovers typical of an event. It's just a storyline so far.
From Comichron:
"While Diamond returned to reporting for June 2021, Lunar did not release any sales data. As we started doing in 2020, Comichron has drawn upon a retailer initial order sample to approximate unit and dollar sales rankings for DC relative to titles released at Diamond. The dataset represented a sizable number of copies, from which Comichron was able to determine relative sales volumes.
Where the Diamond numbers are projected with precision, the numbers which appear for DC sit at the middle of ranges, as a margin of uncertainty surrounds each DC estimate; the numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand. They appear for purposes of getting a general idea of what DC has in circulation. Further, remember that DC's information comes from a dataset of initial orders, so reorders and second printings would not be detected. We also look only at DC's North American copies, to keep consistent with Diamond's practice."
