At least James Bond is on list.
And kek to all people who spammed DC's Facebook page with "not muh Batman!".

Thank god Millar superman tp is selling well.
>>78152606
>Harley Quinn
>31th position
Heh, could it happen /co/?. Could Harley Quinn finally die?
>>78152716
After movie comes? After Facebook statuses? Fuck no.
>>78152716
>Fourth best selling DC title
>Die
>>78152725
>>78152734
At least could a change of writers happen?. I mean, is selling low that could mean that the team behind it isn't doing so well
>Uncanny inhumans #2 is number 59
>Extraordinary x-men #2 is number 24
Hahahahaha
How many copies do you think DK3 #1 has sold?
The Vader book under it has sold 450000+
>>78152725
>After movie comes?
It has already proven that movies sales have no barring on comics sales excluding Indie comics
>>78152626
>>but we have to say goodbye to Squirrel Girl and Sinestro from the top 100

nooooo
>>78152626
>Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is Marvel's lowest selling debut for that month

>>78152905
DKIII #1 has more variants than Invincible Iron Man #1. Beating a Marvel issue #1 in the amount of variants is like a once-in-a-generation happening for DC.
>>78153096
>71 variants
You go, girl.
>>78152626
>Fight Club 2
That's STILL happening?
>>78153146
Jesus fuck....I feel this is the end.
DC has truly tasted the power of variants, it won't be soon until they succumb to it as Marvel did.
>>78153088
To be fair it's not like that book had a snowball's chance in hell.
>>78153316
Fight club's pretty insane, it's a never ending ride of entertainment
>>78153316
>DC has truly tasted the power of variants, it won't be soon until they succumb to it as Marvel did.
I won't mind as long as they're movie-themed months and such. But we all know that fuckload of variants every year would feature Harley.
>>78153316
>To be fair it's not like that book had a snowball's chance in hell.
That comic's TP's listing on Amazon having without a volume number in the title implies that the comic may soon be axed, although the digital sales are okay.
>>78153367
It doesn't work like that.
Their little free monthly variants won't cut it anymore.
>>78152779
But it's not selling low. It's selling lower than Marvel's comics, but it's still one of DC's highest selling. Hell, it's DC's highest selling book that doesn't star Batman.
>>78152606
>Based Miller delivers again
>>78152813
This. Everyone remember to buy as many copies of the X-men comics as you can as a fuck you to the inhumans. I have all of them on my pull, and have gotten multiple copies of EXM. If we all work together and buy as much as we can, Marvel will realise that no one gives a fuck about the inhumans.
>>78153146
Not just 71 variants, but one of them is a 1:5000 incentive. Think about that, a LCS would have to order 5000 copies just to get one copy of that variant. How many LCSes can actually even afford that? Midtown Comics is pretty much it.
>>78153374
>fun All-Ages comic
>axed immediately
Why does this keep happening.
>>78154483
>Hell, it's DC's highest selling book that doesn't star Batman.
>>78154592
Because no one is buying them.
>>78154580
That's....monstrous.
>>78154580
Marvel did the same with Star Wars: Vader Down #1, and 12 copies are out there. Highest sold for $4000 I believe. One of the retailers said it cost $13,747.25 for him (though that also includes the 4999 other issues). Dynamic Forces had four of them. Not sure if that counts Chip Zdarsky's copy which he gave to charity (he was the artist on the cover).
I'd expect DK3 to have more than that.

Lol fuck off Marvel shill. You're just mad that the X-men are selling well no matter how hard you try and kill them off unlike your precious SHITHUMANS.
>>78154724
To be fair, four of those Batmans were Batman & Robin Eternal which is more of a Robin book than it is a Batman book.
>>78154685
company wars have evolved to only involve one company now
>>78154592
>fun
I wish this meme would die.
>>78154749
Yeah but it should be more diverse. Where's Section 8?, Midnighter? Gotham Academy?, etc. It shouldn't be like this
>>78154815
>Where's Section 8?, Midnighter? Gotham Academy?
All either teetering at the cancellation line or below it and only not being cancelled because DC promised 12 issues for all ongoings.
In case you didn't realise this, the general comic buying public doesn't care about quality, they care about reading about their favorite characters. And for most people that read DC, their favorite character is Batman.
>>78154875
It shouldn't be like this... Why God?..Why!?
>>78154696
>>Harley Quinn
>>Green Lantern
>>Flash
A-at least there's SOME non-Trinity stuff...
>>78154924
>Trinity
Notice the complete lack of Wonder Woman?
>>78154696
>>78154724
>>78154815
I'm so sick of Batman, but at least his sales will help fund low selling comics like Omega Men/Midnighter/Prez/Section 8 for a bit.
Without Batman, DC would go bankrupt. It's the sad truth.
>>78154947
Okay, at least there's SOME non-Superbat stuff
>>78154727
>Lol fuck off Marvel shill
Marvel gets paid no matter what Marvel title you buy.
>X-men are selling well no matter how hard you try and kill them off
I really wish this meme would die.
There are about 7 books about or heavily featuring X related characters.
>>78152606
>Vision in the bottom three Marvel #1's
As if I needed more proof comic fans have shit taste. Full list with sales when?
>>78154875
yeah pretty much. i know a number of comic readers who will buy any piece of crap comic starring their favorite character, even if they know the comic is fucking terrible.
i mean look at All New Wolverine being in the top 10. it's not because people care about X-23 it's because it has "Wolverine" on it.
>>78154912
Since the Burton movies, 90% of DC's media outside of comics has been Batman. Counting the Justice League cartoons, the only years Batman hasn't had a new animated series since TAS is 1996, 2012, and this year. DC has bred an entire generation of fans that only care about Batman.
>>78152606
>Deadpool
>Extraordinary X-Men
>All New All Different Avengers
>All New Wolverine
>Mighty Thor
>Ms Marvel
>Carnage
>All New Hawkeye

>Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
From best to worst selling ANAD debuts. How do you feel about it /co/?
>>78155163
yeah in a way the Batman uprising to the point where he has more value to the publisher than Superman, their first hero, has been calculated since the late 80s/early 90s. It just took the public until the late-2000s to finally see the signs that have been there for decades.
>>78155250
Howard the Duck is higher than I expected. Shocked that Avengers vs Infinity is on there at all, considering it's just an all-ages comic based on the cartoon. Disgusted by how low Moon Girl and Vision are.
>>78155250
>Vision debuting so low compared to other shit books
well at least this means DCfags won't lose Tom King to a Marvel exclusive any time soon...
>>78155250
At least Vision isn't the lowest...
>>78155312
>be Tom King
>write some of the most critically acclaimed comic books at the moment
>still sell like shit
You win some you lose some.
>>78155250
Where's Red Wolf on there, didn't it come out or was it too soon?
>>78155250
>Hercules and Vision are some of the lowest selling books
Comic fans deserve a bullet to the head desu senpai.
>>78155396
It's a December release.
>>78155297
>Howard the Duck is higher than I expectedGwenpool
>>78155250
>Venom Space Knight
Huh, how'd this turn out?I want to read Venom again, /co/. I miss him.
>>78155431
Can someone explain to me why Gwen is selling so well?
>>78155461
it's shit
>>78152626
Whats so surprising about Klaus being 100? Morrison has a lot of fans even if it isn't a DC book
>>78155312
Hell, Vision feels like a DC book anyway.
>>78155473
She's a cute white girl tied to Spider-man.
>>78155473
I certainly can't, I just know that's probably why Howard the Duck is as high in sales as it is.
>>78152716
No you fucking moron. It's only lost out to #1's and other top sellers
>>78155461
it's good
>>78155480
Yeah, some people were surprised last month that Karnak was like the 29th best selling book of the month.
It's not the character, it's Warren Ellis. Some writers will sell no matter what.
>>78155490
This. The sooner it gets cancelled the better. Keep the good stuff at DC. Last thing we need is King becoming a meme-writer.
>>78152813
Everybody is aware that they are budget mutants. They're like some cheap knock off you would expect a smaller company to make to compete or something
>>78155461
Painful setup issue. I won't read it further.
>>78155529
Fuck you, Vision is his best work so far.
I like DC better, but you company drones with blind loyalty are cancer.
I expect that the Vision numbers are going to jump for next month, now that everyone and their mother's been talking about it. I picked it up thinking that it looked interesting, but I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was.
Plus Marvel's giving retailers free copies, so that could help.
>>78154956
Then buy their comics you fucking useless dumbshit.
Batman is the most popular because people buy his shit.
A retarded 20 something sitting in a basement crying like you, whilst illegally downloading good comics, isn't helping the cause.
Buy the comics you literall shit eater, stop complaining.
>>78155559
Issue with Hal was better. Way better.
>>78155565
Well, at the very least, it's impossible for it to sell less copies than the first issue.
>>78155490
Yeah, this. Ironic that the book about an artificial robot is the only Marvel comic with a soul
>>78155654
And it was one issue, I don't see Venditti fucking off from GL any time soon.
Vision getting cancelled won't achieve anything but losing one of the few good books from the current Big Two.
>>78155565
>I expect that the Vision numbers are going to jump for next month, now that everyone and their mother's been talking about it
hahah yeah just look at how Omega Men's numbers jumped after there was enough buzz to get it uncancelled
>>78155559
Omega Men is better than Vision
>>78155565
>I expect that the Vision numbers are going to jump for next month, now that everyone and their mother's been talking about it
HA! If only. Maybe then we would actually get some quality
>>78155872
That's just like, your opinion man.
Vision is a very unique type of comic that we don't see very often from Marvel/DC. Omega Men is great too, but space shit isn't exactly anything out of the ordinary.
>>78155978
You think "Robots want to feel" is a unique story?
>>78154727
Dude, I hate Marvel, but not as much as I hate fucking characterfags. Follow writers, or artists, but telling Marvel that you'll support X-Men, even if they're being written shittily, just inspires them to throw even shittier writers on the books, because X-Fags will still lap it up.
>>78154947
Technically, Wonder Woman is starring Justice League right now.
>>78155978
If Visions son goes evil and starts killing people, King is a hack who stole this plot from Red Tornadoes BATB episode
>>78156090
Horror-ish slice of life comic is pretty unique for the Big Two, yes.
>>78156155
>Hero builds robotic "son", it turns evil and starts killing people
>This idea originated from a five year old Batman cartoon
>>78152716
No, but it is completely insane what people are paying for her key issues. Her bubble is going to burst.
>>78155978
I don't think you can quite compare them, just because Omega Men is currently three times that long. Let them both get to twelve (Vision will make it that far r-right?) and then you can really compare them.Personally, I'm most excited about Sheriff of Babylon
>>78155978
I think Omega Men is better (so far anyway) but Vision IS really good and suburban robot horror is a great premise
>>78156294
>horror
What horror?
Is Winter Soldier superhero spy thriller?
>>78156317
She buried a villain in the backyard so it's spooky
>>78156317
It has an uneasy/sinister atmosphere, but it's not full horror.
>>78155250
>Vision is one of ANAD's lowest selling debuts
>Omega Men was one of DCYou lowest selling debuts and is the lowest selling ongoing at DC
Watch Sheriff of Babylon have the lowest Vertigo debut too.
Poor King. ;_;
At least he has Grayson...
Guys, there's something wrong with this list. Squirrel Girl isn't on there. I was assured it had widespread popularity and was among the greatest comics in Marvel's history. Must all be digital sales!
>>78156317
Do you prefer suburban robot uneasiness?
>>78156521
>At least he has Grayson
He hit jackpot with taking popular character.
>>78156704
Definitely, digital sales.
>>78156521
Isn't he a fairly new comic writer? Critical acclaim is better than high sales for him right now
>>78156704
For some unknown reason, it sells really great on trades.
>>78156775
>He hit jackpot with taking popular character.
>be King
>want to break into comic world
>write a small thing for Vertigo
>editor there is about to be bateditor
>he gives you one of your favorite characters ever as long as you can work with some other guy
Must be nice desu
>>78156832
When was the first trade out, last month?
>>78156959
>>he gives you one of your favorite characters ever as long as you can work with some other guy
I think it's hilarious that Seeley and King were hired separately for the same book and ended up co-writing
>>78156959
Yep, it is.
Then again, if his other favorite characters are Kyle and Vision... better stick to Dick, other two guys won't sell much.
>>78156704
>Be normie customer without the Big 2 Event Cock rammed down their throat
>Ask if the new issues of the one or two books they buy are in

>>78157000
I thought he said Cap and Dick were his favs.Mother fucker is gonna end up writing Legion and Wally and I'mma be so jealous and happy the books are good
>>78156979
August I think? I was the second best selling Marvel trade after Civil War.
>>78157067
I recall him saying Hal was his favorite in a DW:GL interview.
>>78156991
That could have easily been a disaster but thankfully they made it work
>>78157067
Hickman wishes to write Legion, as well.
>>78157000
He likes all the Green Lanterns and he said Hal was even more fun to write than Dick, if he got on the main GL book that would sell decently AND not get cancelled in 12 issues!
>>78157137
Eh, he can have multiple. whatever.
>>78157174
The possibility wakes me up at night
>>78157228
I remember reading somewhere that he has 60-issue long story based on pre-New 52 Legion.
But DC deemed Legion worthy of Lemire so whatever.
>>78157174
I wonder how Hick'd feel about L.E.G.I.O.N.
>>78156317
>>78156294
"Suspense" would probably be more apt.
>>78155559
I wouldn't call it his best, but it definitely has a lot of interesting ideas.
Most people thought this would be some kind of funny sitcom book. "Haha look at the robot making himself a family, how whacky is that!" And then the first issue comes out and damn were we all wrong.
>>78157032
>implying normies aren't the exact audience for big 2 events
>Wonder Woman at 77
Please keep dropping in sales until the Finches leave.
>>78158126

>marvel cancer destroying the industry
News at 10
>>78157126
Third best, actually. Night of the Living Deadpool had a bit higher sales.
>>78156521
A lowish Vertigo debut isn't horrible. Vertigo books are sustained with much lower sales, and I'm sure DC will give it a full run (it's only like 6, right?) for the sake of a trade that'll do fine longterm.
>>78157268
I feel like they should just give Hickman LoSH if he wants it, even fucking Levitz gave up the ghost and nobody else wants to write it. If Hickman fucks up, so what, Legion eats reboots like candy.
>>78158684
Yeah but it being one of the lowest would be horrible, especially since it's not even close to being the worst book
>>78154965
last year there was double that amount
Less is not more especially for the X-Men, there's 100's of fan favorites fighting for page time and when the O5 and the 70's team eat up a majority of the books you can see why people are antsy, X-fans don't want to read Avengers to see Rogue and Cable and don't to read Inhumans at all.

it doesn't matter if they buy their comics you dumb cunt. Most LCS will still stock these pretty low. Blame LCS for absolutely being stupid.

>>78155250
i hope vision, Herc, and Moon girl recoup in Trade sales.
>>78155250
Wow, Starlord truly suffered from those days when he debuted in #9. I guess the whole origins thing is something nobody cares after all.
On the other hand, CM Punk is a seller. How long before he gets the Punisher.
