Keeping track of Post-Rebirth Superman sales

[Vordan]

Sure, but thats still low and it had #1 as well. Only now realized that it had 3 #1 issues in total. Reminds a bit of Liefield/Moore Judgement Day event where every issue was #1.

Was a bad event so maybe it tanked in sales. I’m not sure what DC is aiming for with all these events, a desperate attempt to increase sales? If so I can only see it backfiring.

Is Smallvile Lex the most popular adaptation of his that is, for the most part, well liked?

I mean, if we're going this route. The 1978 Lex Luthor is still arguably the most popular adaptation.

I always assumed its a case of DC using events nonstop to cover up their still suffering problems from the layoffs.

Cause they are event obsessed.

No more than Marvel is.

It's weird, as DC went through a period of virtually no crossovers and now are wall-to-wall again. It almost makes me miss September as the one crossover month but, honestly, that mostly sucked, too.

Tell me about it. I’ve been trying to get back into X-Men recently after a loooong time away and it’s not been an easy task in its current state.

90% of it is those are books that will get guaranteed orders from almost every store even if it's a low number. Because you do have that faction of fans who will buy every issue and cross over.

Also those events tend to be the only place where a DC or Marvel HOPES fans put aside their hatred for certain characters and include them in the events.

Or it's a way to EXCLUDE characters that fans hate-Aqualad, Naomi, Duke Thomas, Bendis Legion....

Or use the event to delay or hold out on certain titles. Notice we don't have an Aquaman book and we got a movie coming in two months. If you have no plan or not even bothering to look for pitches-those events help give you a reason to lie to fans about delaying until the events are done.


Meanwhile you got some stores that see right through and really want BOTH companies to stop with the non-stop events. Because it's hard to figure out how much to order (if you don't do pre-orders) and at the mercy of the prospect of tons of unsold issues.

That's good to hear .

I'm glad the two month interlude didn't kill the title's momentum!

Imagine if there wasn't a two month interlude.

[Lairston]

Imagine if there wasn't a two month interlude.

Oh yeah! They were kicking on all cylinders. I think they would be higher.

Action Comics #1057 was the 9th highest selling comic of the week

Keeping in mind that PKJ said the ICV2 and Comicron charts are “made up” and frequently don’t align with reality: https://icv2.com/articles/markets/vi...september-2023



Power Girl #1 was ranked at #36 in units. Superman and WF jumped up quite a bit in the rankings, evidence of what PKJ was saying perhaps.
