I feel the same way about Tec vs. Batman but what can you do? If you’re not a big name you might as well not exist. It’s why I roll my eyes when people say “Just tell good stories!”. That doesn’t work, you need to be a big name to even have a chance of attracting attention.
It's true. Geoff Johns' best work is never on huge characters and yet it's like pulling teeth to get even his fans to try reading his JSA run. I realize you meant creators, but the property can have the same effect. Hell, age, too. A lot of Batman fans on reddit have not and will not read anything pre-Snyder. It's maddening. But when the hobby is so expensive, I do understand, albeit begrudgingly. For what it's worth, I'm with you on 'Tec.
Action Comics was #3 this week on ComiXology behind HiC and Tec 1000.

Sooo... Marvel and DC have almost the same dollar share even though Marvel is putting out almost twice as much product? Am I reading that right? Doesn’t seem very good for Marvel.
Detective Comics 1000 could be heavily skewing the total unit and dollar shares this month. Being a 8.99 book that probably sold something north of 500,000 copies.

I find in 4chan the top 100 for March (only the positions, not the sales). It seems reliable: http://boards.4channel.org/co/thread...eport-top-100s
22 SUPERMAN #9
31 ACTION COMICS #1009
46 YOUNG JUSTICE #3
52 SUPERGIRL #28
PS: Supergirl #28 has an Artgerm variant. That's likely why her position (and sales) is higher than usual

PS: I'm still impressed that a variant cover of Artgerm can increase so much the sales of Supergirl.
