2016*

So out of the top 50, the only DC comic that didn't have Batman in it is Superman and it's at #50.
Oh wait, didn't Justice League: Darkseid War not have Batman in it? I guess then it'd be #19 then.
>>82787151
Shit, meant Batman or Harley Quinn in it.
>>82787003
>The only books at 10 or above are Batman, Superman, Justice League, Deadpool and Darth Vader
Huh.

Muh nostalgiawank.
>>82787003
Great for BP but this just makes me lose even more respect for comic book fans. $4.99 for a 22 page book? That's absurd
>>82787009
>x-men 92 higher than new avengers
hell yeah
>>82787509
And this is why Bendis should be back on the Avengers books. This never would have happened under his watch.
>>82787484
Hey man, it's the Panther. Besides, the writer is a National award winner, so alot of the sales may have been from people who don't normally read comic books and thus have no real point of reference for price.
>>82787523
yeah. I hate avengers, so I would like Bendis back on them
>>82787533
The sales are based on what shops order. On one hand it implies that stores are savvy and know BP will sell due to Civil War but on the other hand, how many variants did that comic get?
>>82787121
So Harley Quinn had 4 books this month and they all made the top 50.
How is it she doesn't have her own line of comics yet DC
>>82787003
Wasn't Empress #1 preorders said to be 100 k or something?
>>82787533
Don't kid yourself. It was #1 released precisely just before the big debut on silver screen and artificially made that high because of like 15 variants plus exclusive shop variants. Those #1s are still sitting on the shelves on large quantities if you check your LCS. Bendis' Iron Man debuted with 300k something copies and back to 60k with #2. Marvel knows really well how to artificially flood the market. I think Black Panther will settle around 50 - 60k by issue 5 if marvel slows down on variants but this is no sign that outsiders are interested in Black Panther.
Books I care about:
>> 49. ALL NEW WOLVERINE #7 (MAR)
>> 60. TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #5 (MAR)
>> 61. CAPTAIN AMERICA SAM WILSON #8 (MAR)
>> 77. CAPTAIN MARVEL #4 (MAR)
>> 83. ASTONISHING ANT-MAN #7
Shit, only one above 50. Black Panther was okay I suppose.
>Harleyshit all top 50
>only good Conner/Palmiotti book Starfire is cancelled
Fuck
