I guess we can include Young Justice:
Young Justice #5 - 29,821

Many of these books would sell twice as much if they were Part of a line wide relaunch.
What the New 52 and rebirth done correctly was that they were pefect jumping on points. Line wide banners are a good idea. It pretty much screams '' hop on'', and it doesnt have to coincide with a renumbering.
I'd imagine they are probably pretty happy actually. Action lost 110 from last month and Superman 869. Between March and April Superman only lost 117, Action 697. That's pretty solid. Green Lantern lost over 4,000 and Batman even more between April and May. The Superbooks are holding steady more or less and are some of the best selling ongoing books.
And the Event Leviathan Special was a $9.99 book that sold over 30,000 copies and is going back for a second printing.
Always seemed like a bad idea to have a teen titans ongoing and a young justice ongoing at the same time.
Comixology ranks:
EVENT LEVIATHAN #1 is 1
SUPERMAN #12 is 3
SUPERGIRL # 31 is 14
SUPERMAN outsells the likes of immortal hulk, detective comics, The flash year one and amazing Spider-Man.
I think under Bendis the digital Sales of Superman have skyrocketed. I will check comixology rankings during Rebirth to compare.
Physical comic ranks:
2. Event Leviathan #1
8. Superman #12

Interesting! I wonder if this has anything to do with what I'd said about Superman having a wider "general market" appeal - as in he does better outside of the comic shop crowd than he does in it. I'd love to know the demographics of those buying Superman digitally, and what else they're picking up.

I live outside the US so I get all of my comics on Comixology. Even though there's a comic book shop that recently opened not far from where I work, I prefer the digital medium where comics are concerned.
Ive said it for years; it is our natural predisposition to love Superman. People have to be given an active reason to dislike the character. Regretfully, DC has given people at the LCS plenty of reason over the years as they mismanage and marginalize him, but the rest of the world? They love (the idea of) Superman and will always gravitate to the character until/unless what they find is so awful it puts them off the character.
"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."
~ Black Panther.
Absolutely. I get why the LCS groups wouldn't like him as much as others; there's a certain general mentality in the LCS world about what's "cool" that would be there even without DC's mismanagement - why they'll almost always pick Wolverine over Superman, for instance - but the general public is a very different animal.
