    Default Your Highest and Lowest Selling Titles

    I don't know, this sounded like fun in my head. Based on this list:

    http://icv2.com/articles/markets/vie...l-october-2015

    What is the highest-selling DC title you read, and what is the lowest selling? And, just an extra, if you read something that is lower on the list than your lowest DC title, what is the lowest selling book you read?

    My highest, Batman. My lowest, Doomed. I don't have anything I read lower than that.

    It's sad how a lot of great titles are low sellers. If only fans were a little open-minded, instead of resorting to Batman all the time.

    Out of DC Books my highest is Batman and my lowest it looks like is Omega Men

    also Telos only sold 20k eh. Poor Telos I guess i'm in the minority of people who actually like the character.


    As for non DC Titles looks like Will Eisner's The Spirit is my lowest and Paper Girls is the highest.

    Highest DC book: Batman and Robin Eternal.
    Lowest DC book: Art Ops (although I'm giving this title a few more issues to see whether I'll keep buying it or not).

    Highest non-DC book: Paper Girls
    Lowest non-DC book: Savage Dragon (I'm assuming it's my lowest title. It didn't even break into the top 300).

    Supporting LION FORGE COMICS and other independent publishers.

    Check out Lion Forge's Catalyst Prime Universe. Its the best damned superhero verse in comics. Diverse characters and interesting stories set in a universe where anyone can be a hero. And company that prides itself on representation both in the comics themselves and in the people behind them.

    Oh my goodness gracious! I've been bamboozled!

    Most fans are not the issue. You can not make a store stock a book beyond 3-4 copies. While overstocking a Batman title because of some silly hope that one of those issues will be worth something.

    Don't forget how many fans are for some ODD reason still buying Secret Wars. Then you do have new Marvel books with variants.

    I think if everything was normal you would see better numbers but as long as Secret Wars & Star Wars & Marvel relaunch is happening-a lot of DC books are going to suffer until at LEAST December 2016.




    Lowest non-DC book: Savage Dragon (I'm assuming it's my lowest title. It didn't even break into the top 300).
    A lot of comic book stores REFUSE to sell it. This is the ultimate example of buy it NOW or forget about it-you will see a few copies and that is it.

    A lot of Image books are MIA on that list.

    The bold are books that are ending. If there are others list them as well.

    A lot of those books are victims of bad timing to come out.
