It seems like legion is selling really well on comixology if that's any indication of things.

Apparently Superman #17 sold out.

I was so happy to get a copy of 'Man and Superman'. That was very good and enjoyable, and the art gorgeous.
I'm also very curious to get the full 'Superman Up in the Sky' story by Tom King. It sounds kind of special. 'Superman Smashes the Clan' also sounds real special so far.
Bendis Superman not sure, it sounds too divisive.
Oh, Smash is absolutely worth getting. If you like the Golden Age or the Fleischer cartoons it's a total, complete must-have story (so far anyway). Don't even wait for the trade, grab the single issues. It's that good.
King's story seems pretty good so far. I've only picked up the LCS printings so I don't know how it ends, and I actually took it off the pull list after the Flash issue, but it's solid. Pretty classic but basic, there's not much there you probably haven't seen before, but it's a enjoyable, "safe" Superman story that's well crafted.
Bendis....give it a try? For my money it's some of the best Superman we've gotten in at least ten years. But if you're a post-Crisis/Rebirth fan above all else, it's going to feel jarring and weird. Bendis pulls from all eras of Superman, not just that narrow vision, and that isn't for everyone.

That's a decent figure for Legion seeing as the headliner is so divisive.
YJ really isn't doing very well at all. No 10 and already so low despite all the stops Dc and bendis pulled out to launch this. This generation and line of books shouldn't be the face of teen comics at DC. TT is almost at issue 40 has an unknown and unlikable cast aside from Damian who is quite divisive and yet they are beating YJ in sales. how did the buzz for YJ die so quick?
My guess? It’s been so long since the last series, and YJ the cartoon is nothing like YJ the comic, so you can’t even leech some of the cartoon fandom over to the book. Bendis’ tendency to drag things out is also doing him no favors, hopefully Walker joining him on the book will help.
