Wait, why the vast difference in orders, is it just because #16 started off the Clone Conspiracy?

Based Harley, outselling everyone's favorite superheroes.

It literally came out August the 31st

DC killing Marvel for another month. Hopefully Marvel will learn from this.

PLEASE MARVEL

It's near Titans, and that did pretty well, still this is pretty good since I was expecting at least a drop to 40 and it's above some Deadpool books too, still this is gonna be declining so I'm still wary. I wish Yang can sell this book to the YA crowd since that will do wonders for its numbers

it's the retailer exclusives.

When do we get solid numbers? I was about to go to bed

Tomorrow.

It doing about 70k. Hopefully it levels off at 40k because I'm really loving it

Bitching
I expected a lot of fall from rebirth sales but this is still fantastic.

>Aquaman 4 (49)
>Aquaman 5 (52)
>Captain America 4 (58)

That's not that much fall for a new character

>Black Panther is now one of Marvel's biggest books
This is weird

Regular Scooby Doo usually sells between 5000-6000, ranking around 250-260th. No one expected the Hanna Barbera titles to be in Top 100 of course. But being in the first 150 can be consider a success.

>Gwen meme is dying

I know thats why i said bitching im happy

>Cred Forums was actually worried that Captain Hydra was gonna detract from Rebirth Hype

I cant even complain even if i did not like the book she has given the whole dam industry a boost alongside rebirth.
With comics getting saved from 2 difrent directions i cant possible be mad.

There's only 3 Marvel books in the top 30

I've never seen Marvel get their teeth kicked in this hard. I don't even think it was this bad when New 2 launched and we're 4 months into Rebirth

It also goes to prove that the "Movies bring in new fans" is total horseshit.

Captain America is apparently the second most popular hero in the world now and he's losing out to a guy who gets shit on by everyone

It was worse during new 52

Was it as bad 3 months in?

>You skiped 99
>>not reading the sauce for verification purposes
The 98th place is a tie.

And once again Logan outsold all the X-Books. Really Marvel, you are really idiots to kill off your 2nd more popular character, because you don't have the rights, and because of his "toxic masculinity" and then replacing him by his autistic "cute-retarded" female clone. Marvel bring back THE Wolverine please. On the other hand the X-Books continue to suck both in sales and quality. At least they deseved this.

No because they weren't still releasing big #1's and returnable comics

>Returnable comics

Yeah sales are lowered by 20% to account for that though

Its 10% but yeah.

I just read the source it does not say that anywhere
Also
>This information may not be reproduced in any format without the express permission of Diamond Comic Distributors.
Lol

Good to see Rebirth and DC sales continue to be strong for three months in a row. DC improved their quality and corrected mistakes that they did with the N52, and this earned them the praise from the fans and readers. Well done.

Hopefully Marvel will riase the bar in terms of quality in order to keep up.

I'm really surprised the SS one shot didn't make it into the top 100

>Hopefully Marvel will riase the bar in terms of quality in order to keep up.

That won't happen for a year at least

It made it into comixologys top 10 i think.

You should wait until tomorrow to finally answer the question of a missing 99th GN place.

>Hopefully Marvel will riase the bar in terms of quality in order to keep up.
Sad thing is they did raise the bar with vision and it still did not help.

Wait shit im retarded i was looking at the single issue source instead of the gn source.

Yeah I just find it really odd. I can't honestly believe that it sold less than Scooby Apocalypse #4 considering the Rebirth hype, SS movie hype and Harley hype

They're more likely to raise the average price to $4.99

Vision is not very popular unfortunately.

Marvel needs to stop sabotage their most popular franchise, apart from Spiderman. The X-Men need more attention and better books. And Wolverine needs to return NOW. Perlmutter's idiocy is starting to cost at Marvel.

Im pretty sure raising prices to compensate for sales lost due to high prices is games workshops thing.

I don't know if that's a good thing. One of the things that personally i really appreciated from DC, is that they try to keep the prices at $2.99. I hate highly overpriced (especially when most of times don't even remotely deserve that price) books.

Yeah, but it's not good in the long term. Fortunately they have a relaunch coming, so they can breath for a few months

>I don't know if that's a good thing.

It's not. I just don't put it past Marvel

Apart from the fact, that Scooby Apocalypse, Future Quest and especially Flintstones are really good books, and personally i believe that they deserve much better appreciation, in terms of sales, this is further element that shows that moviefags don't buy comics. So it's useless trying to build hype for the comic books based on them.

I knkw thats why i think surely with one company already doing it they would learn from games workshops mistakes.
Then again games workshop refuses to learn from there own mistakes they just keep raising prices.

HOLY SHIT, inhumans are close to be on the top 100 anymore

Well let's check out October and November

>Renew your vows $4.99
>Avengers 1 $4.99
>IvX 0 $4.99
>Black Panther world of Wakanda $4.99
>Ghost Rider $4.99
>Champions $4.99
>Amazing Spider-man #19 $4.99
>Clone conspiracy $4.99
>Mosaic $4.99
>Ms Marvel 12 $4.99
>Deadpool 21 $9.99
>Civil War II The Oath $4.99
>Death of X $4.99
>Deadpool To soon $4.99

Marvel can burn in hell

Why? No one can write him. No one has a clue on what to do with him.

Wolverine is supposed to be this legendary smart fighter/assasin and he constantly gets his ass kicked.

Well it's mostly that it was under the Rebirth banner that the low sales baffle me

>Civil War II The Oath
Delayed to December

Fuck this. And fuck Marvel.

Yeah I didn't list normal CW because of that. Didn't know how far it extended. I missed a few annuals as well but I give them a pass

Thiz must be embarrassing for marvel dc has had one delay all rebirth.
Although one does have to wonder how dc fucked up that badly on there single delay.

What delay?

>Ms Marvel 12 $4.99
>Deadpool 21 $9.99
Wait why
What makes these difrent from a normal issue.

> 34. TITANS #2 [*] (DC)

It's so sad people probably jumped because of Kadabra when in fact that's the best part of the book.

Green lanterns #6 had a printing error on the front cover so it was delayed a week.

It was worth the wait fantastic issue it was a good week all around after the previous while great disapointing in parts week.

Oh the Deadpool one I can explain. They know that fans don't want to break up their collections so they throw these big books out of nowhere to milk their fans for all they're worth. It's actually fucking sickening

Wait how could you not love kadabra.
I had literaly never heard of him and i love kadabra

And yet every writer out there wants to write

And really this is not an excuse. Logan is the character with the most rich background out there. If you have good writers and talent, then you can have good stories. The problem is that current Marvel don't have either. Though Lemire's Logan book, even if his X-book sucks, it's fairly good, which proves that a good writer can do miracles with Wolverine.

So it at least had more pages right?

>Green lanterns #6 had a printing error on the front cover so it was delayed a week.

That honestly doesn't sound that bad since they got it out the following week

Yeah it did. It's a big 90pg one but it's still deplorable to have it in the main run. Most comic fans aren't obsessive dweebs who read solicitations or watch the sales

I agree. I know him from Mark Waid's run and he's one of the best Flash big bads. I've seen many fans dropping the book because the villain is lame.

Dickfags already dropped it for not having enough wank.

Both are oversized. Ms Marvel is 40 pages with ads (compared to 32 with ads as the norm), and Deadpool is 96 pages with ads. With Deadpool in particular, the solicitation says that it's 60 pages of actual content.

Thats pretty bad yeah.

>Amazing Spiderman
>$4.99

Fuck I didn't know it was that much. No wonder DC are selling better with their nee pricing scheme.

Oh yeah, I'm actually pretty impressed on how well it did and how it manged to outsell some of DC biggest books.

If this book continues to do well, I can see DC doing a crossover between RHATO and Trinity.

>46. BATGIRL #2 [*] (DC)
> 52. AQUAMAN #5 [*] (DC)
I'm really surprised on how hard Batgirl fall and sad to see Aquaman be the worst selling rebirth because I like it a lot.

That seems good for a Blue Beetle launch though

You shouldn't be surprised with Batgirl, that's a book that settles in the 20ks normally. Maybe with Rebirth hype it will be more of a 30k book, but we'll see. Should be about the same for Supergirl too but maybe TV show hype will help there (I suspect that will help trades more than floppies though).

I think he is talking about the comic itself.
They massivly mishandled the first issue as promising as it is its sales are gonna drop hard

Its good to see red hood and the outlaws is not a cursed name.
Then again a lot of things have happened with rebirth that should not have so maybe the title is cursed but rebirth is so good it powers through the curse.

I don't like the behind the scenes stuff with the solicits switching up (suggesting something isn't right), but I feel like the first issue wasn't bad. The only thing that might not have been that clear was who everyone was (names did get given but it was very fast, not really done in an introductory way) but it showed the current status quo fine and gave you a glimpse of the Ted and Jaime dynamic.

Im still not sure which dialogue was jamie and which was the scarab.
I think thats my biggest problem with the issue not knowing anything about the character im not sure if its a direct control deal or not that should have been made clearer.
I do really want to know what happened with the solicits though yeah.

>>HJGLC outsold GLs
HJGLC is a couple issue numbers lower but it outsold it in August too

GLs has been pushed harder than HJGLC but I thought it might settle lower since you'd think people would gravitate towards the established characters

Well something has to be worst selling rebirth title.

At least aquaman is in the top 50 still so im still happy

>Highest Marvel book is at #4, is Spider-Man and kicks off an event.
>Second highest isn't until #20 and it's Star Wars.
>Third highest is at #22.
>Fourth highest isn't until #32.
DE-FUCKING-STROYED. I hope Marvel doesn't course-correct even after Marvel NOW! AGAIN! flops. Hopefully we can get wholesale restructuring with regards to the editorial and talent.

>> 34. TITANS #2 [*] (DC)

the magic is over. :(

On the other hand although there both good books green lanterns is a little better.

Its really hard to guess at sales when so few of the books are bad.

>10 Marvel titles in the top 50
>39 DC titles in the top 50
brutal

Waifufags have moved to Wasp, user. Marvel has to maintain a constant stream of new waifubait these days to maintain interest.

>green lanterns is a little better.
I don't agree, but you're right that not much of Rebirth is truly bad

I do think it's interesting that two very new characters are doing nearly as well as the book with the four existing GLs

>Scooby Doo Apocolypse in 100th place
>Flintstones most likely below it

This month's results should be interesting because the returnability runs out on a lot of the Rebirth books last month.

Rebirth is mirroring the ANAD Marvel launch. I wonder if DC will be able to keep it up.

What are you talking about? ANAD books each had one good month and then sales tanked to the same value they were pre-relaunch. How is Rebirth mirroring it at all when the lowest titles seem to still be 60k+ at this point several months in?

>black panther still in the top 30
>black panther still in the top 100

Retailers will also have a better idea of what to order since they're several issues in now, I don't know if returnability ending will have that much impact

In the second month of ANAD Marvel dominated the top 50 with a 17% market share lead over DC. Just because the drop off from issue to issue for DC is slower in its second month doesn't mean anything.

Many ANAD titles lost readers quickly and but then stabilized quickly also. We'll have to wait in see if these Rebirth titles aren't slowly bleeding readers well into their runs.

You can't look at the market shares as if that's important. The ANAD books literally only had good #1s while the following issues were back to the same pre-launch figures for pretty much everything that wasn't Deadpool or Iron Man. If Rebirth was following the same pattern you'd see it already. There's no "wait and see", it has already not happened.

>> 77. INVISIBLE REPUBLIC TP VOL 02 (MR) (IMA)
Premature ending looms. Why do comic fans have such shit taste?

That SS Ostrander one-shot was a fifth-week release despite the Rebirth banner on the cover.

>You can't look at the market shares as if that's important.

Huh?

>The ANAD books literally only had good #1s while the following issues were back to the same pre-launch figures for pretty much everything that wasn't Deadpool or Iron Man.

This is simply not true. Titles like Daredevil and Punisher out-did their pre-ANAD numbers also. Nevermind that a huge part of ANAD was about introducing new titles that didn't even exist before ANAD like Black Panther and Moon Knight.

The only real and fair comparison is market share.

>42. OMEGA MEN THE END IS HERE TP (DC)
Rip

it's a New York Best Selling user, it's doing great. This only counts orders thru Diamond which would be limited to LCS', DC and other publishers often use a different distributor for trades.

I don't know why you would ever look at market share if you want to analyze the health of titles.

Anyway here's the month to month numbers: comicsbeat.com/marvel-month-to-month-sales-july-2016-uncivil-concerns/

I wouldn't count Punisher, Black Panther, Moonj Knight as ANAD since they only launched recently. I'm mostly talking about books that launched in the 4th quarter of 2015. If you're going to count late launches like Punisher they would be more comparable to the second wave of Rebirth books when they come than to use them as data along with the first books.

>Superman not in the top ten
Boo! He's deserves it dammit!

Will Marvel get their shit together after this?

No. Have you seen what's coming out during NOWer?

>All-Star Batman selling more than the main Batman book
I'm impressed. I knew Snyder had fans but I expected readers for him to be less since it wasn't the main bat book. Congrats.

>Hal Jordan, Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Green Lanterns that low

Y

>haven't been keeping up with Cred Forums and comics
>suddenly DC rules the world
Holy shit, what happened? Is DC good now?

We really have to wait until the numbers could still be pretty high.

>what happened
Dc fixed there editorial.

Marvel will stick to burying their heads in the dirt. They'll keep using the comics as clickbait/PR for movies than do anything worthwhile with the comics.

Considering the competition those books being in the top 50 is still pretty damn good

Yeah, with the exception of a book where Spider-Man's married again, there's fuck all interest from anyone about it.

Fucking THIS
Marvel could run their comics department to the ground and still turn a profit based solely on their MCU juggernaut.

Its frustrating to see that only comic readers are seeing that DC is actively trying to improve comics, while to the general public its nothing but DUDE DC SUXX LMAO

They fixed their editorial like 2-3 years ago, the Rebirth hype is because they put Johns in charge of direction since he basically built his career on melding historic stuff with modern continuity.

>95. MS MARVEL #10 (MAR)
>95
Damn son what happened? Is it all the DC #1s? I thought she was popular.

Yes, Solo and Foolkiller with shot up to the top of the charts.

Is anyone outside of Cred Forums excited about it because i don't see a lot of people talking about it?

>Is it all the DC #1s?

Likely yes. She is generally solidly in the high 20ks/low 30ks, so it just means DC's books have sold so much that the 30k range is now in the 90s when a few months ago it was 70-80s. We'll know for sure tomorrow though if it dropped more than that.

Well she did get outsold by uncanny Inhumans, falcap, and Gwenpool. Sounds like a drop.

Whats Brevoort's thoughts on this?

That happened last month too (no Uncanny Inhumans issue apparently though), seems like she's still grouped with the same Marvel books. It's likely just DC having more near the top pushing everything else down.

73 Daredevil Punisher 3 $4.99 Marvel 34,269
74 Gwenpool 4 $3.99 Marvel 33,174

79 Captain America Sam Wilson 11 $3.99 Marvel 29,145

82 Ms Marvel 9 $3.99 Marvel 28,313

85 International Iron Man 5 $3.99 Marvel 27,697

Jon quick take off your pants.

Or take your shirt off, either works.

Oh, I could have sworn falcap was a lower than that and I thought she was still in 30k. Thanks.

>Nightwing beats Superman and Wonder Woman

Garthfags are ready to drop the book enmasse.

All Marvel has to do to stay relevant is have one of their female heroes, could be Gwen, or could be that Nigress Ironman, punch some Trump analogue and they'd be talking about it on The View and twitter for weeks.

All two of them

>Red Hood and the Outlaws outselling Deathstroke, New Super-Man, and Green Arrow

why are DC fans so retarded?

people expected the book to deal with Dr. Manhattan, not regurgitate Wally's "destined" romance with Asian Lois/Vicky/Iris

There's always a drop off from #1 to #2

Can someone explain why the Young Animal line is more expensive?

Sure, but there are a good number of series that have even more number that have higher sells, and Titans was supposedly one of the BIG Rebirth titles, the one most likely to have plot elements about the the whole "New52 is actually Post-CoIE", yet it sold less than Nightwing or HJatGLC

I suppose that goes to show the effect of the double monthly issues, with those books having much higher retention numbers than the monthly ones

you get what you pay for

More pages.

The solicitations list them as 40 pages compared to the usual 32 pages. In reality, all of the true DC Rebirth books are 20 pages of actual content. Doom Patrol was 24 pages of actual content, the Shade preview (6 pages), and the editorial page (3 pages).

The rest of the Young Animal books will probably follow this, too: 24 pages of content and then a backup of some kind. So, it'll be worth the extra dollar.

Is that Ryan Gosling?

Why? Is he written badly or something?

Titans Rebirth had huge reorder numbers due retailers underordering

comicsbeat.com/dc-comics-month-to-month-sales-july-2016-rebirth-2-electric-boogaloo/

It also wasn't this bad when the New 52 launched. Marvel had 9 books in the top 30 back in September 2011

Well yeah i expected that to thats why i fully expected to drop it are there auctualy people that are hype for that shit.

>Ultimates and New Avengers aren't even in the top 100
Damn, that hurts

Ryan Gosling shota style

If he was written they might explode from orgasmal bliss. At his very best he exists which is enough. But he was just *killed* so they may be feeling grumpy

>DC
feels good

Killed or "killed"?

Is the industry saved?

Harley Quinn had a movie. thats why shes #1. She'll be forgotten when Dr Strange is released

Wally half-blocked the kill shot on the final page. He'll be fine.

Harley has been selling well for years now, it's not just the movie

She's consistently been DC's third best selling title behind Batman and JL and second best selling solo behind Batman since it got relaunched.

The movie didn't help Captain America who's losing to the fucking fish guy

>Harley is the most popular she's ever been
>Palmiotti Harley will influence the character for decades to come

Funnily enough Palmiotti's Harley has no influence on the DCU at large. It has it's own spinoff books but if you see Harley in any other DC comic it's the Harley from Suicide Squad.

>Harley Quinn had a movie. thats why shes #1.

A Harley Quinn title has been in the top 15 titles 22 times out of the the past 34 months. During that same period, she's only been out of the top 30 a total of 6 times.

>no Uncanny Inhumans issue apparently though
delayed

and that's not counting the 800 Harley spinoffs

>DC Universe: Rebirth? That was the trial run. Marvel wins.
Dammit Rich

>>Renew your vows $4.99
Looks like I'll be pirating it. I was really looking forward to this (hoping Marvel would copy what DC did with bringing back pre-52 Supes) back fuck that price.

buy it or they'll take the last shred of Peter/MJ we have left

Marvel got you by the balls, eh

We still have the daily strip.

WHO THE FUCK IS BUYING ALL THESE HARLEY BOOKS??
I go to my lcs twice a week and never see anybody actually buying the harley books, I just see the out of stock notice usually.
Is it women buying them?

It's all the new #1s they pushed the books in the 70-80 range into the 90s or out of the count. If it wasn't for Ult getting relaunched marvel now would only make it worse. I expect ms marvel, gwenpool, and those around them to get pushed out in october.

bump

Never buy Marvel comics in the hopes that they may change something. X-fags have been doing this for years and it's got them nothing

>Slott admitted that retailers underordered Clone Conspiracy #1 because reasons
And nothing of value is lost

so why isn't suicide squad at number 1 since that is actually the ip title and not harley quinn

sure she may have gotten a bump by the movie but its unusual
I mean did black widows sales go up with avengers

>I mean did black widows sales go up with avengers
No but she barely got any toys

>17. DETECTIVE COMICS #938 [*] (DC)
Bad

Is it around a 10% penalty they give for the refunds?

>implying

The wait for numbers is killing me.

Only Wallyfags buy the book and they are fine with Linda in general.

I think making this book a monthly while making shit like Cyborg bimonthly was a huge mistake. It doesn't help that it gets released at the very end of the month so most people forget it even exists after a while.

Top 300's+ and estimates for that month:
