These were pretty good sales.
Superman #4 sells on October almost the same than September.
Action Comics #4 increased their sales.
Supergirl #4 doubled her sales from the previous month.
PS: It seems that other DC comics has a big increase of sales on this month. I don't know if there's a reason for this.
It seems that Bendis series will be stable around these numbers. I'm happy for the Supergirl book sales increase.
I'm sure there's a reason. Just don't know which reason. Sales could increase thanks to variant covers but it doesn't seem the case here.PS: It seems that other DC comics has a big increase of sales on this month. I don't know if there's a reason for this.
Generally, the foil covers probably helped bump up sales a bit. And while both Supergirl and Catwoman are solid titles I am enjoying quite a bit, they both have Artgerm doing the main and variant covers along with the foil cover bumps. Artgerm is growing a big following in that respect. He's not Campbell yet, but there are a lot of people who are just buying his variants.

Was about to say, Supergirl had an Artgerm foil cover. That was going to be an instant seller.
******************
Action got a boost, but there was the combo of the special cover and promotion as a "moment" book. Whatever boost those provided only pushed the book to sell 2500-ish more copies than it did last month. That's basically holding steady.
Superman is almost exactly the same, but whatever Bendis has decided to do to Jon Kent is looming. That could be a break point for a lot of people depending on the story.
Right now, sales on those two are where they need to be to match the money from just prior to the Bendis takeover. If combined sales drop noticeably under 120K, DC's profits start taking a hit.
Supergirl's boost is almost assuredly due to the Artgerm cover, and I'm interested to see if sales can hold a level for DC to justify continued publication after the Bendis tie-in arc is concluded.
Super Sons will trickle off over the course of the mini until it concludes, so I'm not surprised to see a drop there.
Sales look ok for this month, nice to see Supergirl doing so well. I’m surprised Catwoman rose so much, did BoP movie announcement do that, or are people really enjoying Joelle?
Steady sales and an increase in both Comixology and Diamond rankings since Bendis took over.
I am glad, I really like Bendis so far, he has his ups and downs, but he has potential to provide stable quality storylines with killer art teams, so steady sales mean DC won't go for a course correction again.
I wonder how much the trades will sell. Since most have classified Bendis as a Trade wait writer.
Well, the DC comics that has a increase on sales in October, icluding Supergirl, has a foil cover. That could be one of the reasons why the sales increase:

Superman #4 also has a foil cover, even although its sales didn't increase from the previous month. I guess the sales being almost equal to the previous month was influenced at some level by this.
