ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2005 From Newsarama. You can see the full charts there. Looks like the critical disdain for ASBAR hasn't slowed sales, and it seems that the New Avengers experiment has been a resounding success. Wonder if that will maintain for the upcoming years.

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2005 Well we will have to see where ASBAR falls after that shitty second issue. I think quite a few people will drop it, I know I am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And with Frank Cho drawing a story arc for New Avengers, I'm sure it'll still sell well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 It seems any title with Jim Lee drawing will do huge business nowadays, even Superman. Add beloved Frank Miller to the mix and you have a sure-fire hit, no matter what, even if Miller hasn't delivered anything good in a long while (not named Sin City or 300.) He seems to mostly go by on reputation these days. Despite being hated on by a very vocal internet fanbase, New Avengers keeps bringing the numbers sales-wise. Bendis sells comics, wether you like it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 From Newsarama.com: All-Star Batman #2 posted sales of 178,600 copies to easily lead the list. That is a 31% drop from the 261,000 copies the first issue sold two months ago. As a bimonthly, retailers may have had a somewhat easier job of gauging second-issue demand than they normally have on monthlies, Miller said. “The third issue will absolutely reflect how well those 261,000 copies sold through — although, of course, the first issue of title did also make the #1 spot as well in the retailer reports published in CBG and Comics and Games Retailer.” I think 31% decline from the previous issue (even if it is a #1) is a pretty sharp drop, but what the hell do I know. Is it that common to drop this much or what? Here are the actual sales figures. Edit: Those are the August figures. Sorry, my bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
