Thanks, everyone for the alternative names posted. I'll search for them when I have time to see if they can fill the gap.

I didn't watch the video but I did do a quick check of his predecessors' figures on Comichron to compare.
I stopped at Isuue#20 because that was pre- Covid for Coates and after that, the numbers become even more unreliable.

He also liked comments that are critical of CGrs, I've posted a number of comments where I trash CGrs and CG supported sites like Cosmic Book, Bounding Into Comics and Bleeding Fool and bring up points that contradict the usual "Go Woke, Go Broke" argument and he always likes my comments.

yea, i've liked coates on both Panther and Captain America. Definitely not compelling issue to issue, but getting the TPB makes it a lot better.
Or he really does have his issues with both sides, but leans a little towards not liking the talent in the industry at the moment.
I'm one of those that also just got frustrated and stopped caring about his BP run. I don't mind more diverse storytelling, but not at the expense of the character I'm reading the book for. Maybe he'd do better on Image, Aftershock or Darkhorse. He could do original stuff like Monstress, Tartarus, Saga or Deadly Class. Then there was the recent JP comparison to Red Skull. Like why? Especially knowing many people reading comics do like JP (I don't agree with everything he says, but I thought that comparison was low class).

Perch has been killing it lately with his sales analysis and interviews (highly recommend the Martha Thomases one). He looks to have put a ton of work into the channel, and it's good to see that it's really taking off.
I am pretty sure he just likes comments so he knows he has read them. It could be an attempt to make people think he actually likes their comments, but when practically every single comment gets liked it is obvious. Now, he could intentionally make sure he never likes a comment he disagrees with or sees as hurtful or hateful, but whatever. And, yes, he is probably your typical cranky old guy who the market left behind, but there are a lot of people like that who are not whatever other label you want to throw on them for whatever the motivation to do that is.

A lot of Karens in this thread.
I know it's overused, but how fragile can people really be? Jesus...
More as a jab at people who use those numbers as the end all be all representing of quality and that dispute that there the best we got its still faulty. Back when loot crate was a thing, DC had each box have a copy of harly Quinn with it, the sales umber show that issue over 500000. Take that in to consideration with how varent covers worked(need x amount of base to be able to buy varients) and those numbers aren't truly accurate.
