DC Comics August 2022 Solicitations

Does this mean that Doomsday will guest star in every title come November?

Gotta say the non-Trinity part of the DCU is looking pretty damn dire.

Loads of Batman, and now harley Quinn.

Jesus Christ you weren’t kidding. I know it’s her 30th but does she still have the sales power for all that?

[skyvolt2000]

Eh, they lumped all the GLs together for the 80th anniversary.

Did we NOT see a 50th anniversary for John Stewart?

Kyle Rayner has a 30th anniversary in a few years. You think they'd honor him the same way?

The line of folks with huge anniversaries starts and ends with Cyborg, Starfire and Raven's 40th being ignored.

Along with Mal and Bumblee-Dc's first black heroes. Followed by Black Lightning, Vixen, Firestorm, Hawkman and so many others.

Who couldn't even warrant a mention.

Static better get something for his 30th next year.

Jesus Christ you weren’t kidding. I know it’s her 30th but does she still have the sales power for all that?

DC does not care because you will have stores OVER ORDER those books.

This is why we are having issues.

Batman does 100K to stores. 90K are bought by the public.

Green Lantern Season 2 does 45K. 35K are bought.

Both sold 90% of product.

We got more Batman because 45K copies got ordered.

DC doesn't care about unsold to customer books.

Yep. Lots of Batman, Lots of Wonder Woman, hardly any Superman though interestingly.

but dire indeed.

[TheCasualReader]

God, as a Static fan, I'd love it if they released a paperback of the original 1993 run for his 30th anniversary.

Olympus Rebirth is a nice surprise! It's good to see that the Wonder'verse is still expanding even if it is mostly through one-shots.

Mary Marvel is finally here!!!

The Artgerm Poison Ivy variant looks inspired by Takara's Pride Variant, which is a nice touch.

The World's Finest cover is just a load of good vibes. Perfect.

Harley Quinn might still have the sales power but - according to the ICv2 sales ranking - her monthly doesn't. It's been outside of the Top 100 for months. Now the question is whether DC's judgement is that bad or if ICv2's sample size is simply too small.

[HsssH]

Isn't that Harley Eat Bang Tour doing better than the ongoing?

[Gaius]

Wonder Woman #790
Nubia: Queen of the Amazons #3
Olympus Rebirth
New Champion of Shazam #1

Possible;
Black Adam #3

ICV2 not only has a too small sample size, ignores anything outside NA but it also overly favours titles whose release date is the start of the month

ICV2 tacks sales during one calendar month so titles that are released towards the middle or end of the month ICV2 only tracks their ales for half the month while the titles that release at the start of the month get tracked for the full month.

Tom Taylor said the site is unreliable. I don't know why people still use that site for tracking sales since it's so flawed and essential providing misleading info

Did we NOT see a 50th anniversary for John Stewart?

He got a hardcover reprinting an assortment of old material and some essays but nothing along the lines of the celebratory one-shots we got for other characters.

Batman does 100K to stores. 90K are bought by the public.

I think it's flawed to assume that all these shops are overordering books and just sitting on thousands of copies they're unable to move. I'm sure some percentage of shops are run by fans who order books on the basis of what they hope will sell rather than what they know will sell in their stores but the others are ordering based off what their customer base will buy - otherwise these guys aren't gunna stay in business.

Her tv show will be back on the air by that time

I wish "The Flash" run would get a bigger seller top but still disappointed that we only could obtain one Flash book per month.

A moment of silence that CW did more Flash contents than any DC properties.

Yeah, what happened to the other flash book, with Barry Allen? When did Wally take over?

Were we ever promised a second Flash book with Barry? Wally's been the main Flash since Infinite Frontier began with Barry serving to setup Dark Crisis.
