Of course, the sales figures are hand tallied and subject to human error. If I have miscalculated any sales be assured that it was not intentional and, if brought to my attention, will be corrected ASAP.

We hope to see you all again next month as CBR’s Age of Marvel’s connects 4 with a bunch of All New #4s! Sales victory will be rewarded handsomely! Prepare your bodies accordingly!

Remember plotters, the Deadline for submission of your solicitations is THE 29th! If you haven’t already submitted them, get to it!

Great month guys! We still did very well despite putting out less titles. I think we'll continue to see a fine tuning of the lines as we progress along.

I'd like to thank everyone who took a chance on Andromeda, Bounty Hunter. I enjoyed doing this series very much. But that doesn't mean you won't be seeing her as she will show up in other Cosmic Line titles and she will ultimately find a home.

The line's just warming up for Halloween Ex! Tales from the Crypt was a special tale about the Invisible Man breaking the 4th wall....it may of backfired.
