Huh, people were that worried about Cyclonus.

Injustice stronk

babby's first non-cape book

Is #32 a special issue of Saga or is it really that popular?

>>78512900
if you don't think it is the shit now, you probably won't ever think so.

>>78512987
the latter

>>78512878
Everyone fed its popularity by bitching about it like always.

>>78512987
must be popular
also a time skip just happened

>>78512987
It's really that popular. Has been for years now so I'm surprised this comes as news to you. It's consistently outselling most Marvel and DC books through Diamond too.

As another anon said, its babby's first non-cape book.

>>78512878
It's okay anon, it's only 3 people.

>>78513133
Marvel can try there hardest, there never going to replace the X-Men with the Inhumans.

>>78512849
Surprised to see The Authority on the best-selling list, did those volumes get new editions?

>>78513205

These are on muh sale editions.

volume 1 was on sale

>>78513241
>>78513245
Got'cha.

>>78513060
This is delusion speaking.

MANY people reading Saga have simply never read cape comics.

>>78513175
This. I've been buying multiple copies of physical and digital for X-men. Everyone needs to do their part as a fuck you to Marvel.

>>78512849
>The Authority Vol. 3
Meant to be Vol. 2. Sorry for the typo.

>>78513265
How is giving them money a "fuck you" in any sense?

The X-Men situation is such a catch 22.

But seeing them high up selling lists is always fun.

>>78513257
Maybe they haven't read capeshit but they have misconceptions about it to the point that they think Saga is doing something special. It's not bad but it's pretty generic.

>>78513257
>>78513060
>>78512977
not only is it baby's FIRST comic, but based on the sales of most other Image titles, it's baby's ONLY comic.

>>78513329
yarp. It's the Doctor Who of comics.

>>78513265
Your one retarded faggot. It's not a fuck you to Marvel, it's just saying "keep shitting on the x-men, those cucks absolutely love the taste." And then they can go use that money your giving them to marketing the Inhumans even more.

>>78513265
You absolute fucking cuck, stop enabling them.

>>78512845
So looks like DC is dominating the digital sales.

Hellcat's got a thread too.

I wouldn't be know that fat superheroine existed if /co/ hadn't had been so angry about the whole thing.

>>78514547
what you don't get is that if X-books sell well, while shithumans badly, then yeah, it will fuck marvel financially, because they spend money on promoting a brand that doesn't give profits.

>>78514392
They hold 11 out of the top 25.

It literally doesn't anon. Inhumans sell nowhere near bad enough for that. Consider how much they put into carol who was like 17k. X-men sales more than make up for what you believe are losses. You're just retarded for thinking giving them more money is hurting them or that this wasn't just to get sales.

>>78514962
So In other words, I should stop buying them, and let them die like Fantastic Four? great plan anon

>>78515037
Either you let them die or stop pretending you make a difference.

>>78515086
Okay, so I will stop "pretending".

>>78515037
Yes?

>>78512914

It's funny how some people bitch MTMTE is the worse thing ever yet it keeps hitting the the top 10 almost every release. It's good if people actually gave it a read instead of spewing shit with nostalgia goggles on too tightly.

>>78514714
Actually that's the funnier thing.
They only need to put money (or at least appear to be doing so to X Men fans) on the inhuman books and they increase the sales from the X-books as well due to fans being angry that the Inhumans are being shown more love than the X-Men.

>>78515233
Marvel literally cucked themselves

>>78515037
Seems like a damned if you do damned if you don't situation.
If you don't buy, well not you but a good majority of people don't buy, then they'll feel justified in fucking over a property no one reads anymore.
If you do buy, again not you, then they still make money and feel justified that fuckign them over didn't actually hurt anything.

The better question is, why Avengers sell like shit? Weren't they supposed to be the flagship?
What about iron man? Wasn't he supposed to be the new wolverine?

>>78515461
I haven't shilled anything thus far. But if you want me too, you should check out All new inhumans, it is actually quite good.

>>78515504
he is a shill he said so himself >>78515461
He shows up to incite x-men buys by pushing the inhuman replacement thing even though it is bullshit.

>>78515521
It's hilarious that Lemire, a fucking nobody manages to attract huge sales, while Waid is basically ignored

>>78515567
At least you reveal yourself

>>78515521
>Avengers sell like shit? Weren't they supposed to be the flagship?

When Miles Morales has the highest solo sales of any member of your team.......

>>78515521
ANAD Avengers sold close to 130,000 copies for issue 1.

Which sounds good until you remember that's close to what any given issue of the main Batman title sells regardless of numbering.

>>78515589
Lemire? Nobody?

What is Essex County Trilogy was all the rage, Sweeth Tooth is also some of the best stuff DC has pulled out in the recent years. Trillium is great, too.

>>78515773
meanwhile Ex X-Men got re-orders and continue to be selling good at issue #4, despite debuting in november, instead of october. How much ANAD avengers #2 sold?

>>78515773
No, anon.

It's worse when you consider it was handily outsold by Deadpool.

>>78515808
ANAD #2 was a December issue so I guess the numbers aren't out yet.

>>78515891
But Ex X-Men #4 is also a december issue, and yet, it appears on the list.

>>78515941
I'm talking about physical sales, digital sales don't get numbers released.

>>78515941
That is digital and only for that particular week. To hype about sales you seem to know fuck all about them.

>>78515976
>digital sales don't get numbers released.
I don't get why this day and age comic companies don't.

>>78516014
What reasons do they have for releasing them?

>>78515976
that's a shame, because it would give a better picture.

>>78515796
also, from the other angle, Waid hasn't had a big hit in a while. Daredevil is mostly all about Rivera, Martin and Samnee, read some interviews and even Waid himself openly says most godly stuff early on are all Rivera, and the second volume left bad taste in a lot of people's mouths

>>78516038
The same reasons companies release physical sales?

>>78516073
But they don't.

Diamond releases them.

>>78516099
So why doesn't Diamond release information on digital sales to go along with physical sales?

>>78512935
It's only going to get stronger when the sequel is announced, Injustice 2: Injustice Harder.

>>78516130
what?

Diamond has nothing to do with ComiXology. ComiXology is an entirely different entity.

Don't believe the poseurs in How to fix comics industry threads spewing the nonsense that Diamond has monopoly.

>>78516130
Digital sales aren't done through diamond, they don't know what the numbers are either

>>78516130
...because Diamond does not have the information?

How could Diamond have it? Why would it have it?

I honestly don't know how it works thus reasons why I'm asking questions. I thought if the company can collect information on physical sales, they could also collect digital sales too.

>>78516291
Diamond and Comixology are just the distributors between publisher and retailer/customer. Diamond reports how many issues comic shops order from them, they don't know anything else.

>>78516167
>ComiXology is an entirely different entity.
It's also owned by Amazon, even bigger company than Diamond.

>>78512845
>>78512914
>>78515191

My gut feeling here is that if MTMTE is outselling most of everything and Moon Knight, who was never popular, is in the top 25... these do not represent high sales figures. MTMTE sells physical copies to the order of 10k/issue (technically while double shipping, but only every other month).

The total weekly sales for comixology are probably under 150k at the upper limit.

>>78516412
Amazon would have not bought if it was so little.

>>78516412
Digital sales mean nothing. Ms marvel was number 1 every time it came out for like half it's run but it only had 30k sales for diamond.

>>78516412
I think most people have estimated that digital is generally 10-20% of physical, but there are some exceptions (like when books like Gotham Academy end up around the same place as GL).

>>78516492
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not understanding why you think that means they don't mean anything. No one has ever argued that digital sales increase physical ones.

>>78516492
I do not see how selling this or that through Diamond proves anything about ComiXology.

Those two are entirely different chains of distribution. On some level, you could say they are two different markets.

>>78516441
Amazon buys lots of things. Sometimes you need to buy startups just to keep your share price level; otherwise investors start to jump over. They're fickle like that.

>>78516503
Physical is what, 80 million a year? Something like that. 8 million a year digital across all platforms sounds -ish.

>>78516492
It's harder to judge because for certain titles, they may genuinely be hitting a higher sale on digital than they ever would on physical; that might be true, for example, of titles aimed at the kind of person who wouldn't go to a comic book store because it's a creepy, smelly place full of weirdos. Which let's be honest is most people now.

But my feeling with Transformers in particular occupying two high spots on this platform is that the platform doesn't sell a great deal of new comics.

However, it may be that they sell a lot of back issues in numbers so small they never chart, but high enough that they can still turn a profit as a platform. It really depends on whether the chart represents a high enough proportion of total sales, or just those that meet arbitrary designations.

Given that it goes up to > 570. Paybacks #4 , who even fucking has the patience to figure it out.

>>78516542
Well they don't mean nothing but they represent a much smaller portion of the sales and tend to not reflect sale trends as the bigger companies.
