    Default DC comics in July including Wonder Woman and ancillary titles

    In case anyone wants to know rankings about comic sales, here is a link to a video which shows that DC is not doing very well:

    I think the best of the Wonder Woman titles is Wonder Woman at 130. The video shows the other titles and where they were ranked.

    I really hope DC can do better than this.

    *Clicks on link*

    "Thinking Critical". Hmm, name sounds vaguely ominous giving the trend of Comic Book YouTube channels being trash fire.

    *Looks at channel's videos*

    Ah, there's the trash fire I was expecting.

    What a philosophical conundrum, can a man without a brain think critically?

    He mostly criticises women and minority creators and characters, but I'm sure it's just coincidence and not the fact he's a frothing sexist, racist and homophobe.

    I don’t know who this man is but he’s not wrong. DC comics is really just a character incubator and a testing ground for movie pitches at this point, they’re just throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks

    It’s a bit sad to see Wonder Woman do so poorly but can’t say I’m surprised. They're not exactly putting their A-talent on Wonder Woman, but then they’ll blame the character for not selling

    I pretty much put the link to show actual sales ranks within the Wonder Woman universe.

    So centre left people crying about progressive left stuff in their comics.

    Also does he leaves out DC switching to different distributors? I dont watch talking heads.

    Lets not forget problems irl effecting sales.

    attacking minorities, LGTB etc is not the solution either. They are not the reason why sales arre low.

    Yes, fortunately I have the means to get the numbers not from a man who seems to make a living making silly faces for thumbnails.

    Don't see me getting updates on the status of the U.S. from Donald Trump or Alex Jones.

    The of this thread is the numbers not the guys opinion or politics. So why are we not talking about the numbers? Why are dc's and ww numbers so low and what can they do to change that? It's not about his opinion.

    So what's the point in attacking him? Sounds like using him as a scapegoat to be honest.

    Well, how CAN he be ANY of those things you list? After all, those things are ALL imaginary and don't really exist.

    They have to be planning a line wide relaunch at this point after Dark Crisis. Don’t know what else they could possibly be planning. When Infinite Frontier kicked off people were comparing it to All-New All-Different Marvel and sales wise that seems to be the case. IF has been a flop. It’s a shame because there are a lot of books that came out during this era that I’ve loved, but DC needs to get itself together.

    I think it's reflective of the industry. Either everyone is on the Hollywood hype train or companies don't have a real long-term plan to increase sales or readership. By industry, I mean the Direct Market.
