Hopefully the Levithan even brings some higher sales to action, easily the best book Bendis is working on now and it actually deserves the love. Also Naomi made it to #89 on the list, but she at least got a 2nd printing, so I imagine DC is probably fine with how it sold.
Forgot to count Young Justice, that was at 11

Interesting. Numbers dropped a bit for each, but it stayed more or less the same spot charts, 25, 30, 31. I was expecting a bigger drop off for Action given it skipped a month and switched arcs.
Batman lost almost 7,000 copies between 62 and 63, and over 10,000 between Nov. and Jan. Mitch Gerads looks like he staunched a big drop off for 62. So Bendis' attrition isn't looking to bad. Are people that fed up with Tom King?

This is weird. Action is better comic quality-wise then why is superman selling higher? From what i remember of the New52 and rebirth. In both time periods the better title quality-wise used to sell well. Man! Superson is taking a beating. Oh well! I can enjoy it while it lasts.
Not that it matters at DC HQ, but I can't imagine the plan was for the Super-books to sink back towards 40K sales per book in less than a year.
New 52 had Grant Morrison on Action Comics at the start, so that might’ve tipped sales towards the start. But I think most writers see Batman and Superman as the “main” books and Detective and Action as the side books, even though Action and Detective are the better books right now imo.
