Big Bang Comics is a popular comic shop in Dublin. Every week they like to run through how sales of gone this week, what's selling out, what's not, looking at trends, and looking ahead.

Afternoon! Welcome to that time of the week where we look at what comics sold (or mostly didn't) in out store! pic.twitter.com/4WXkjDVyZz — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

First, sales for the week of the 24th of May Here's our Top 10 for that week. pic.twitter.com/GMfGZEOQ2R — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

And this week they had a lot to say about Deadpool. Which recently had a 100 page-long $9,99 issue with Deadpool #30 – and how that affected sales of subsequent issues. And not, apparently, because it was a Secret Empire crossover.

And now that we talked about something good… let's talk about DEADPOOL #31. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

And what have we said over and over again about these over sized, stupidly priced issues? — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

#30 of DEADPOOL led to 25% of our DEADPOOL pull lists cancelling it.. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

They also had a little run down of pretty much everything else…

The new movie being good and fun definitely helped! It's currently outselling its previous incarnation by 20% over here. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

BEN REILLY SCARLET SPIDER #2 saw a 40% drop from #1. Ouch. Very little traction from shelf, almost all sales from pre-orders. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

For reference, it's selling less than SCARLET SPIDER #25 from 2013. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

I'm sure you all read the hot takes online on why BP is losing readership so there's no point going over them again. It's all true anyway. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

DEATHSTROKE #19 was a LAZARUS (mini cross-over with Titans and Teen Titans) tie-in and sold out on an order 40% higher than normal! — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

Funnily enough, don't think we have ever heard "wow, I forgot I even had this in my pull list" so many times… — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

GHOSTBUSTERS 101 #3, no sales. It's funny, some stores excel at licensed stuff, we almost never do well with any of it. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

(if you don't know, the Cap Marvel book is actually CAPTAIN MARVEL AND HER AMAZING CANADIAN FRIENDS) — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

REDNECK #2 did phenomenally well on an order a goof bit higher than #1, and even the reprint of #1 nearly sold out! — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

SECRET WARRIORS #2 broke my heart. A fun book not being a chance because a) Inhumans and b) Marvel. 20% first week. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

UNDERWINTER #3, 40% first week. Very low sales here for this Image book. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

X-MEN BLUE #4 was a hit and a sell-out. Book with strong pre-orders AND good sales from the shelf!

(it's not all negative for Marvel here!) — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

As you might have heard, one of Marvel's plans to solve their current problems is to restore a lot of comics to their legacy numbers. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

VENOM #150. hence, follows #6.

I KNOW! — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

So, numbering restated, they also plan to go back to the core characters, hence the announced return of Eddie Brock. pic.twitter.com/KVkWVn4FH0 — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

But — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

After all, Eddie Brock is quite popular, so why not, right? We should have known better… There's a couple of things at play here. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

2 – It was 5.99. Immediately, kids (that for some reason still love Venom) were priced out. And it prices it out of impulse purchase land. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

on SECRET EMPIRE #0, means whatever we're thinking of ordering re: Marvel, we'll probably go back and order less. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

It's just the customers are tired of being taken by fools with extra money to spend whenever Marvel decides it so. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

Sell-out on LADYCASTLE #4. Definitely helps that it's coloured by Rebecca Nalty, a local talent! — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

Raise your hands if you noticed that DR STRANGE #21 came out last week and #20 is due to be out this week! — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

Hey, I didn't think our GAMORA #5 sales could get any lower but then again, here we are… — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

(disclaimer: we have LOADS of young customers who don't know what a Gen X even is. Millennials, I tells ya!) — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

(actually, sold out of the main cover, still have a few of the cover price variants left) — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

It is, by #3, selling less than half of the last issue of CIVIL WAR II did here. Yeah… — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

SECRET EMPIRE UPRISING #1, 70%. Suspect it would have been worse if it wasn't written by a popular Irish writer. — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

STAR WARS DOCTOR APHRA #7 doesn't seem to be seeing any uptick from the SCREAMING CITADEL crossover. In fact we sold less copies! — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017

Not only was it a gorgeous book but it came out at the same time AS THE AMAZING WONDER WOMAN MOVIE! AND YOU BETTER GO SEE IT! — Big Bang Comics (@TheBigBang_) June 5, 2017
