Superman's drops seem to have stabilized again, while Action's drops have begun to grow once more. The good news for Super Sons is that it looks like it'll stabilize in the 30, 000 range. For comparison, New Super-Man and Superwoman were doing far less numbers by the same issue number.

Hmm...maybe Action's sales will pickup once the rest of the Superfamily show up in the "Revenge" arc, or the arc with the reveal of Oz happens.
Those are some okay sales for Supergirl.
Yikes. For a summer blockbuster event, Secret Empire doesn't seem to be doing blockbuster numbers.
Anyway, happy to see Super Sons still doing fairly well. Hopefully, the $1 price increase doesn't cause too many drops.

Super Sons is performing more like Damian's last solo, than it is the other Super books that came out of Rebirth.
Past few months I actually think Action has been the superior title. I still say though what they really need to do is make Jurgens editor of the line. Then you get a superstar team on Action to compliment the Superman team, and its all still going on the blueprints in Jurgens' head which he still does well.

Frick. New Super-Man didn't do too hot in trade sales (26th place in June). It's sad how few people are reading this amazing book, and that when the line shuffle eventually happens after Rebirth's ends, it'll likely be cancelled, while Cyborg, which sells even worse and isn't close to being in the same league quality wise, will likely get yet another chance.
Sales dropping is typical.
Super Sons is actually doing quite well because the drops are really small, and the book is stabilizing in the 30k range.
Cyborg is going to keep getting chance after chance because he's part of the DCEU.
Both books, and many others should get more chances. Maybe we can get a New Super-Man animated series?
I've mentioned this before, but I really think the book would sell better if they relaunched it as Justice League of China. This has been one of the freshest ideas DC's had in a decade and it'd suck for it to be tossed away. One thing which gives me a little hope is how Kenan is being pushed as a full member of the Super Family, so it seems there is investment in him. Still waiting on Baixi and Peng to meet their counterparts though...
