Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I’m french, that’s why I’m talking funny. Please address your complaints to my “Isabelle Huppert is a goddess” country.

This a weird month to analyse. The most disturbing thing is that the usual pattern fall from issue #1 do not work: some titles follow them and other out predict what was supposed to be their doom. Avengers, Avengers 1, and Avengers Occupy do way beter than what last month first issue sales were saying.

Invincible Iron Man seems to be the big winner, with very few buyers lost beetween issue#1 and #2. Coudl it be that either people buying only #1 or variant are beginning to tire up, or, even better, than they actually started to read what they purchase and liked it?

It doesn’t change the fact that of the many launches from last month, almost all the C-list character are biting the dust: Great Lake Avengers, Solo and Foolkiller are out. Surpringly, two of the most unsual characters are performing quite well: Jessica Jones first and, more surprisingly, Mosaic, the all new character. Time of changes and unpredactibility, probably less dark than reality so please, do not take those charts too seriously. Just read and enjoy comics.

Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it’s not because a copy is sold to a shop that it’s sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.

Many thanks to Milton Griepp and ICv2.com for the permission to use their figures. Also thanks to the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!) for its help.

MS MARVEL TPB VOL.6: 3,500

VOL.1 : 45,204 [+804]

VOL.2 : 18,698

VOL.3 : 11,282

VOL.4 : 6,642

VOL.5 : 5,203

HC vol.1 : 1,942

HC vol.2 : 2,653

No floppy issue of Ms Marvel this month but her first TPB is still selling, cracking 45K only trought Diamond. It’s more difficult to make people pick up the remainign volumes after that.

2-IVX ($6) 11/16 Inhumans vs X-Men #0 - 84,161 12/16 Inhumans vs X-Men #1 - 167,703 (+99.3%)

The new mess is here, and its many many variations, it cost $6 and it is so far a success.

6- CIVIL WAR 2 LTD ($5) 05/16 Civil War II #0 - 189,829 06/16 Civil War II #1 - 391,526 (+106.3%) 06/16 Civil War II #2 - 148,403 (- 62.1%) 07/16 Civil War II #3 - 185,949 (+ 25.3%) 07/16 Civil War II #4 - 126,865 (- 31.8%) 08/16 --- 09/16 Civil War II #5 - 120,208 (- 5.2%) 10/16 Civil War II #6 - 118,625 (- 1.3%) 11/16 Civil War II #7 - 116,447 (- 1.8%) 12/16 Civil War II #8 - 105,568 (- 9..3%)

Behaved quite well all in all.

A huge surge probably due to the movie release. The first tpb sales are still pilling up.

8- 25-STAR WARS DOCTOR APHRA LTD ($5 issue#1) 12/16 SW Dr Aphra Ltd #1 of - 99,067 12/16 SW Dr Aphra Ltd #2 of - 61,417 (-38.0%)

Kind of a popular doctor, for what it seems.

—

9-HULK 12/16 Hulk #1 - 89,810

We will have to wait for issue #2 numbers to see how this one behave. In the meantime, you can scratch your head and argue about whether it is feminist or not to drop/hide the Miss for what is really a Miss Hulk serie.

13- INVINCIBLE IRON MAN 03/14 Ir. Man #23.NOW - 43,912 ( 51.3%) ... 06/14 Iron Man v6 #28 - 28,027 ( -0.9%) ... 06/15 Sup.

Did someone lock all the automatic #1 buyers somewhere in December? Because this looks VERY promising if there is not trick sales involved.

16- HAWKEYE 03/15 All New Hawkeye #1 - 66,608 04/15 All New Hawkeye #2 - 42,730 (-35.8%) 05/15 All New Hawkeye #3 - 38,087 (-10.9%) 06/15 --- 07/15 All New Hawkeye #4 - 31,661 (-16.9%) 08/15 --- 09/15 All New Hawkeye #5 - 31,141 (- 1.6%) 10/15 --- 11/15 All New Hawkeye #1 - 68,933 12/15 All New Hawkeye #2 - 35,363 (-48.7%) 01/16 All New Hawkeye #3 - 26,913 (-23.9%) 02/16 All New Hawkeye #4 - 24,903 (- 7.5%) 03/16 All New Hawkeye #5 - 24,779 (- 0.5%) 04/16 All New Hawkeye #6 - 21,209 (-14.4%) 05/16 --- 06/16 --- 07/16 --- 08/16 --- 09/16 --- 10/16 --- 11/16 --- 12/16 Hawkeye #1 - 70,884 VOL.1: 47,268 [+2,681] VOL.2: 25,657 VOL.3: 13,536 VOL.4: 8,814 VOL.5: 4,109 VOL.6: 2,583

Always starting at the same point. This time, the focus is on Kate, or Miss Hawkeye if you prefer. The good news is that Vol.1 of the original Fraction/Aja serie is back in the trade top 300 with huge sells after disapearing during many months. Now if only the other volumes would also dare make a coming back…

—

19- GAMORA 12/16 Gamora #1 - 65,032

Launching higher than her other Guardians teamates, but that was expected seeing that she is the only one really starting her adventures. It will be interesting to see if one of the three (Gamora, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon) will detach from the others saleswise in the upcoming months.

—

21- AVENGERS 11/16 Avengers # 1 - 81,885 12/16 Avengers # 2 - 64,289 (-21.5%)

Another surprise, with a very weak fall from issue#1, placing the title way higher than what is disapointing #1 sales predicted.

22- AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 04/14 Amazing v3 #1 - 532,586 ( 293.1%) 05/14 Amazing v3 #2 - 123,945 ( -76.7%) ... 04/15 Amazing v3 #17 - 99,964 ( +8.3%) 05/15 Amazing v3 #18 - 88,338 (-11.6%) ... 10/15 Amazing Spider-Man #1 - 265,073 10/15 Amazing Spider-Man #2 - 111,322 (-58.0%) 11/15 Amazing Spider-Man #3 - 93,848 (-15.7%) 12/15 Amazing Spider-Man #4 - 82,066 (-22.6%) 12/15 Amazing Spider-Man #5 - 79,122 (- 3.6%) 01/16 Amazing Spider-Man #6 - 76,517 (- 3.3%) 02/16 Amazing Spider-Man #7 - 75,357 (- 1.5%) 02/16 Amazing Spider-Man #8 - 71,599 (- 5.0%) 03/16 Amazing Spider-Man #9 - 88,164 (+23.1%) 04/16 Amazing Spider-Man#10 - 73,643 (- 16.5%) 04/16 Amazing Spider-Man#11 - 67,446 (- 8.4%) 05/16 Amazing Spider-Man#12 - 74,963 (+11.1%) 06/16 Amazing Spider-Man#13 - 65,519 (-12.6%) 06/16 Amazing Spider-Man#14 - 65,646 (+ 0.2%) 07/16 Amazing Spider-Man#15 - 93,582 (+42.6%) 08/16 Amazing Spider-Man#16 - 185,342 (+98.1%) 08/16 Amazing Spider-Man#17 - 74,869 (-59.6%) 09/16 Amazing Spider-Man#18 - 71,159 (- 5.0%) 10/16 Amazing Spider-Man#19 - 73,215 (+ 2.9%) 10/16 Amazing Spider-Man#20 - 67,530 (- 7.8%) (CC) 11/16 Amazing Spider-Man#21 - 63,052 (- 6.4%) (CC) 12/16 Amazing Spider-Man#22 - 63,359 (+ 0.5%) (CC) Since #2: -42.9%

Nice results this month, whithout the aid of any variant. Still, lowest level so far. But double what most of the other MU titles are selling. U decide!

23- GUARDIANS OF GALAXY 03/13 Guardians of Galaxy #1- 211,312 … 04/15 Guardians v3 #26 - 54,124 (-12.4%) 05/15 Guardians v3 #27 - 49,308 (- 8.9%) 07/15 Guardians of Knowhere Ltd #1 - 81,902 ... 09/15 Guardians of Knowhere Ltd #4 - 39,523 (-22.4%) 10/15 Guardians of Galaxy #1 - 118,342 11/15 Guardians of Galaxy #2 - 51,690 (-56.3%) 12/15 Guardians of Galaxy #3 - 53,627 (+3.7%) 01/16 Guardians of Galaxy #4 - 46,215 (-13.8%) 02/16 Guardians of Galaxy #5 - 40,581 (-12.2%) 03/16 Guardians of Galaxy #6 - 48,330 (+19.1%) 04/16 Guardians of Galaxy #7 - 40,213 ( -16.8%) 05/16 Guardians of Galaxy #8 - 38,404 (- 4.5%) 06/16 Guardians of Galaxy #9 - 34,542 (-10.1%) 07/16 Guardians of Galaxy #10- 36,614 (+ 6.0%) 08/16 Guardians of Galaxy #11- 34,914 (- 4.6%) (CV2) 09/16 Guardians of Galaxy #12- 32,373 (- 7.3%) (CV2) 10/16 Guardians of Galaxy #13- 29,845 (- 7.8%) (CV2) 11/16 Guardians of Galaxy #14- 28,405 (- 4.8%) 12/16 Guardians of Galaxy #15- 63,338 (+123.0%) Since issue #2 : +22.5.0 %

Start of the final arc of Michael Bendis. That’s when the boat is sinking that everyone wants to order something at the bar….To be fair, this “Grounded” arc is also launching the new “volume” of Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon.< p>

—

29- ROCKET RACCOON 01/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #1 - 59,028 02/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #2 - 29,180 (-50.6%) 03/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #3 - 24,855 (-14.8%) 04/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #4 - 24,179 (- 2.7%) 05/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #5 - 21,138 (-12.6%) 06/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #6 - 20,392 (- 3.5%) 07/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #7 - 19,142 (- 6.1%) 08/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #8 - 20,646 (+ 7.9%) (CV2) 09/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #9 - 17,522 (-15.1%) (CV2) 09/16 Rocket Raccoon & Groot #10- 16,505 (- 5.8%) (CV2) 10/16 --- 11/16 --- 12/16 Rocket Raccoon #1 - 59,305

Debuting at the exact same level than before. From what I saw on the Previews, it looks like this comics will perhaps deal with animal rights, which would be a clever move.

30-NOVA 02/14 Nova#13.Now – 26,147 ( 4.4%) 03/14 Nova v5 #14 – 23,459 ( -10.3%) ... 05/15 Nova v5 #31 – 18,129 ( -2.7%) 11/15 Nova #1 - 45,536 12/15 Nova #2 - 27,120 (-40.4%) 01/16 Nova #3 - 23,464 (-13.5%) 02/16 Nova #4 - 18,187 (-22.5%) 03/16 Nova #5 - 16,886 (- 7.2%) 04/16 Nova #6 - 15,795 (- 6.5%) 05/16 Nova #7 - 15,377 (- 2.6%) 06/16 Nova #8 - 19,720 (+28.2%) (CV2) 07/16 Nova #9 - 16,726 (-15.2%) (CV2) 08/16 Nova #10 - 14,766 (-11.7%) 09/16 Nova #11 - 14,341 (- 2.9%) 10/16 --- 11/16 --- 12/16 Nova #1 - 58,393

This new volume is starting a little higher than before. Ramon Perez is pencilling and co-writing it, which is probably the best news in the universe right now.

31- CLONE CONSPIRACY LTD 10/16 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #1 - 90,285 11/16 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #2 - 58,921 (-34.7%) 12/16 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #3 - 56,117 (- 3.7%)

Quite stable, even if below Amazing Spider-Man, which is weird.

34- MIGHTY CAPTAIN MARVEL 11/13 Captain Marvel v6 #17 - 18,173 (-20.5%) ... 03/14 Captain Marvel v7 #1 - 44,248 04/14 Captain Marvel v7 #2 - 28,008 (-36.7%) ... 05/15 Captain Marvel v7 #15 – 19,740 (-35.4%) ... 06/15 Cap Marvel & Carol Corps Ltd #1 - 47,302 ... 08/15 Cap Marvel & Carol Corps Ltd #4 - 22,106 (- 9.0%) ... 01/16 Captain Marvel #1 - 52,972 02/16 Captain Marvel #2 - 28,962 (-45.4%) 03/16 Captain Marvel #3 - 28,469 ( -1.7%) 04/16 Captain Marvel #4 - 25,156 (-11.6%) 05/16 Captain Marvel #5 - 23,812 (- 5.3%) 06/16 Captain Marvel #6 - 28,213 (+18.5%) (CV2) 07/16 Captain Marvel #7 - 23,895 (-15.3%) (CV2) 08/16 Captain Marvel #8 - 23,024 (- 3.5%) (CV2) 09/16 Captain Marvel #9 - 24,753 (+ 7.5%) (CV2) 10/16 --- 11/16 Captain Marvel #10 - 19,893 (-19.6%) 12/16 Mighty Captain Marvel #0 - 53,263 CAPTAIN MARVEL VOL.1 : 2,409 Average +% TPB Sales issues #1-4: +8.5%

Reaching double digit issue numbers, so it was time for another relaunch! It’s starting at the same level than before so expect another relaunch in 10 months!

35- STAR-LORD 07/14 Star Lord #1 – 78,501 08/14 Star Lord #2 – 37,109 (-52.7%) 09/14 Star Lord #3 – 32,918 (-11.3%) 10/14 Star Lord #4 – 37,123 ( 12.8%) 11/14 Star Lord #5 – 36,905 ( -0.6%) 12/14 Star Lord #6 – 32,863 (-11.0%) 01/15 Star Lord #7 – 28,174 (-14.3%) 01/15 Star Lord #8 – 25,227 (-10.5%) 02/15 Star Lord #9 – 38,655 (+53.2%) B.

Debuting slighty better than before but that’s probably because Kris Anka had the brains to put Star Lord almost shirtless on the cover.

—

36- UNWORTHY THOR 11/16 Unworthy Thor# 1 - 70,424 12/16 Unworthy Thor# 2 - 50,584 (-28.1%)

Manage to still outsell Mighty Thor by quite a margin, thanks to a very cushioned fall from issue#1 numbers.

—

43- CHAMPIONS 10/16 Champions #1 - 334,937 11/16 Champions #2 - 49,733 (-85.2%) 12/16 Champions #3 - 47,481 (- 4.5%) Since issue #2: - 4.5%

A good sign for the future. Mark Waid can really be happy this month! (well, except about Black Widow numbers)

—

46- BLACK PANTHER WORLD OF WAKANDA 11/16 BP World of Wakanda # 1 - 57,073 12/16 BP World of Wakanda # 2 - 45,009 (-21.1%)

Thanks to a very nice and unusual fall from issue#1 pourcentage, this one is not following the Dr Strange Sorcerers Supreme sales pattern.

48-SPIDER-MAN DEADPOOL 01/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #1 - 180,891 02/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #2 - 80,512 03/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #3 - 73,238 (- 9.0%) 04/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #4 - 64,931 (-11.3%) 05/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #5 - 63,821 (- 1.7%) 06/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #6 - 64,630 (+ 1.3%) 07/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #7 - 62,060 (- 4.0%) 08/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #8 - 69,519 (+12.0%) 09/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #9 - 65,502 (- 5.8%) 10/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #10 - 52,468 (-19.9%) 11/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #11 - 51,278 (- 2.3%) 12/16 Spider-Man Deadpool #12 - 43,937 (-14.3%) Since issue #2: -45.4% SPIDERMAN DEADPOOL TOP VOL.1: 10,466 [+728] Average +% TPB Sales issues #1-5 : +14.3%

On the bright side, TPB sales are working very well, following the Deadpool TPB usual pattern. On the other side, issue#12 is taking a blow, but it’s a fill-in issue before the conclusion of the arc next month.

50-AMAZING SPIDER-MAN RENEW YOUR VOWS ($5) 11/16 ASM Renew your vows # 1 - 96,111 12/16 ASM Renew your vows # 2 - 43,128 (-55.1%)

A huge blow, but almost putting the serie in the zone where the Gerry Conway mini have been selling those last months.

52- OLD MAN LOGAN 05/15 Old Man Logan Ltd #1 - 122,702 ... 10/15 Old Man Logan Ltd #5 - 62,716 (- 9.3%) 11/15 --- 12/15 --- 01/16 Old Man Logan #1 - 104,362 02/16 Old Man Logan #2 - 63,932 (-38.7%) 03/16 Old Man Logan #3 - 58,855 (- 7.9%) 04/16 Old Man Logan #4 - 59,174 (+ 0.5%) 04/16 Old Man Logan #5 - 58,870 (- 0.5%) 05/16 Old Man Logan #6 - 52,761 (-10.4%) 06/16 Old Man Logan #7 - 51,926 (- 1.6%) 07/16 Old Man Logan #8 - 55,311 (+ 6.5%) 07/16 Old Man Logan #9 - 49,804 (-10.0%) 08/16 Old Man Logan #10 - 52,175 (+ 4.8%) 09/16 Old Man Logan #11 - 47,248 (- 9.4%) 10/16 Old Man Logan #12 - 45,384 (- 3.5%) 11/16 Old Man Logan #13 - 43,609 (- 3.9%) 11/16 Old Man Logan #14 - 42,574 (- 2.4%) 12/16 Old Man Logan #15 - 42,216 (- 0.8%) Since issue #2: -34.0% OLD MAN LOGAN VOL.1 : 7,124 [+761] Average +% TPB Sales issues #1-4: +12.0%

OLD MAN LOGAN VOL.2 : 4,664 [+575]

Average +% TPB Sales issues #5-8: +8.4%

Great news on all sides: floppy sales stable and TPB sales still cashing in, on both volumes.

56- INFAMOUS IRON MAN 03/16 International Iron Man #1 - 70,824 04/16 International Iron Man #2 - 40,459 (-42.9%) 05/16 International Iron Man #3 - 35,282 (-12.8%) 06/16 International Iron Man #4 - 28,998 (-17.8%) 07/16 International iron Man #5 - 27,697 (- 4.5%) 08/16 International Iron Man #6 - 28,337 (+ 2.3%) 09/16 International Iron Man #7 - 25,496 (-10.0%) (CV2) 10/16 Infamous Iron Man #1 - 73,735 11/16 Infamous Iron Man #2 - 40,225 (-45.4%) 12/16 Infamous Iron Man #3 - 40,546 (+ 0.8%) Since issue #2: +0.8%

To the surprise of almost everyone, this one is stabilizing abruptly, and I doubt that only one variant is the cause of it. < p>

With two issues shipped this month, Spider-Man is regaining its missed deadline. The serie is still searching for its level.

DOCTOR STRANGE TPB VOL.1: 4,164 Average +% from issue #1-5 : +7.4%

It’s a little late but Vol.1 in tpb is at long last available. Dr Strange is first released in Hc format, than later in TPB. Those first month sales are excellent. Let’s see if they will improve with a come back in the top 300 in the following months. Is it people picking up the serie after the release of the tpb: Floppy sales are slighty up, a rarity.

Regaining a bit of the big chunk that was lost.

Looking at those numbers, you wouldn’t know Brian Steelfreeze is back as the artist. Marvel may have been too greedy too fast with this one.

POE DAMERON TPB VOL.1: 4,256 Average +% from issue #1-6 : +7.4%

TPB sales are strong in their first month but floppy sales are close to what Kanan was selling and we know how it ended.

We know bad publicity surrounded this whole arc -by angry old fans outraged whithout having read anything- but it never reflected in sales. Could it be it?

CAP AMERICA TPB VOL.1: 3,542 Average +% from issue #1-6 : +7.0%

64- JESSICA JONES 10/16 Jessica Jones #1 - 74,291 11/16 Jessica Jones #2 - 36,893 (-50.3%) 12/16 Jessica Jones #3 - 38,601 (+ 4.6%) Since issue #2: +4.6%

Even taking in consideration the two variant covers, that’s quite a performance.

What was the purpose of launching so higher to be only 6K over the previous volume #2 numbers? Anyone answering “quick and easy cash” is a winner.

68- AVENGERS 1. 11/16 Avengers # 1.1 - 41,258 12/16 Avengers # 2.1 - 37.746 (- 8.5%)

Almost unheard of. This one is losing less than 10% of its #1 readers! It was of course unpredictable and put the title in a way more confortable sales zone than the one he would have reached with the usual 45-55% loss. That’s two times this month with Mark Waid!

69- MIGHTY THOR 12/12 Thor v5 #1 - 110,443 ... 02/14 Thor #19.Now– 42.034 ( 10.1%) ... 09/14 Thor v5 #25 – 53,047 ( 38.4%) 10/14 Thor v6 #1 – 150,862 ( 184.4%) 11/14 Thor v6 #2 – 89,131 ( -40.9%) 12/14 Thor v6 #3 – 72,563 ( -18.6%) 01/15 Thor v6 #4 - 69,497 ( -4.2%) 02/15 Thor v6 #5 - 69,513 ( +0.0%) 03/15 Thor v6 #6 - 70,569 ( +1.5%) 04/15 Thor v6 #7 - 71,372 ( +1.1%) 05/15 Thor v6 #8 - 86,222 (+20.1%) ... 11/15 Mighty Thor #1 - 112,053 12/15 Mighty Thor #2 - 70,331 (-37.2%) 01/16 Mighty Thor #3 - 60,345 (-14.2%) 02/16 Mighty Thor #4 - 56,568 (- 6.3%) 03/16 Mighty Thor #5 - 54,568 (- 3.5%) 04/16 Mighty Thor #6 - 52,538 (- 3.7%) 05/16 Mighty Thor #7 - 47,425 (- 9.7%) 06/16 Mighty Thor #8 - 51,300 (+ 8.2%) 07/16 Mighty Thor #9 - 48,712 (- 5.0%) 08/16 Mighty Thor #10- 45,929 (- 5.7%) 09/16 Mighty Thor #11- 46,434 (+ 1.1%) 10/16 Mighty Thor #12- 40,326 (-13.2%) 11/16 Mighty Thor #13- 39,274 (- 2.6%) 12/16 Mighty Thor #14- 37,624 (- 4.2%) Since issue #2: -46.5%

The novelty effect seems to wear off a little, with female variations of Iron Man, Hulk, hawkeye and soon Captain America taking over a center stage which was almost empty before.

Being an IVX tie-in prevent any fall, for one issue.

72- GHOST RIDER 11/16 Ghost Rider # 1 - 57,843 12/16 Ghost Rider # 2 - 37,221 (-35.7%)

Another surprising behavior, placing the title way higher than expected so far.

With Salva Espin take on a mythic cover by Todd Mc Farlane, sales go up. The story? Who cares?

It is not labelled as it in the solliciation text, but it is clearly an IVX something-in, hence the little bump.

—

78- THANOS 11/16 Thanos # 1 - 54,768 12/16 Thanos # 2 - 35,187 (-35.8%)

It managed to reduce its fall from issue#1 numbers. With such a high creative team, it now has a contest in front of him: staying above 30K

80- PUNISHER 05/16 Punisher #1 - 110,726 06/16 Punisher #2 - 47,524 (-57.1%) 07/16 Punisher #3 - 46,534 (- 2.1%) 08/16 Punisher #4 - 44,154 (- 5.1%) 09/16 Punisher #5 - 38,052 (-13.8%) 10/16 Punisher #6 - 35,344 (- 7.1%) 11/16 --- 12/16 Punisher #7 - 33,589 (- 5.0%) Since issue #2 : -29.3%

Managing as best as it can with the tragedy. Sales of the first tpb are on the strong side.

People do not seem interested in a monthly serie starring the character, but more by one-time products using her as a gimmick, what she was in the first place. Seeing how the Special is outselling the hurted ongoing, that seem pretty obvious.

82- SLAPSTICK 12/16 Slapstick #1 - 33,088

4 variant covers. It’s gonna hurt next month.

—

83- OCCUPY AVENGERS 11/16 Occupy Avengers # 1 - 38,400 12/16 Occupy Avengers # 2 - 32,974 (-14.1%)

Another launch with very weak debut sales, followed by excellent fall from issue#2 numbers. The whole fabric of sales pattern is in shambles. How do you expect me to comment that? Long live unpredictability!

THE surprise hit. After excellent fall from issue#2 numbers, no loss of readers as soon as issue#3. The most difficult thing is still ahead: keeping readers attention when it’s so flicky nowdays.

French artist Mast gave quite a hand on this one, helping this serie to make the transition from Turbomedia to paper.

Conclusion of the arc. The title lost 10K in the last 4 months, after behaving very steadily during its first 10 months. What happened?!

If the floppy sales are taking a hit, excellent news on the TPB side: it’s selling almost 2K on its second month, which is a very good indicator. Would this go on, Moon Knight could become the new Hawkeye.

Putting an artistic team reminiscing of the 90’s (spike hair, grinned teeth…) on a serie which was the antithesis of the 90’s with its classic approach and concerns with continuity and use of every corner of the MU universe still baffles me. That is the result.

Those ones can’t do anything like other people. This was the pourcentage we were expecting from issue#2. The serie is done, obviously.

A quiet month. No noticeable TPB activity and standart attrition on the floppy side.

Vol.2 is starting with moderate sales but having been picked up by Scholastic to be on the shelves of some schools will prevent the serie from cancellation during many months.

PATSY WALKER VOL.2: 1,216 Average +% TPB Sales issues #6-11: +10.9%

Tpb sales are not strong and floppy sales are dipping. This one didn’t work out but still did way better than Foolkiller, Great Lake and all the others in the waiting line to be cancelled after only one arc.
