Twenty-Eight DC Comics Selling Fewer Copies Than Supergirl
So, Supergirl is cancelled with #42 in May. A surprising cancellation, I'll grant you. But if it's a sales consideration… what other DC Comics regular series sell fewer copies? And could they also be in danger? Bleeding Cool added up the card stock combined covers, and here are the titles DC COmics is currently publishing, that are selling fewer copies through Diamond Comic Distributors….
Currently that would include, in order;
- Nightwing
- Lois Lane
- Batman Beyond
- Teen Titans
- Far Sector
- Aquaman
- Justice League Odyssey
- Batman And The Outsiders
- John Constantine: Hellblazer
- Batgirl
- Low Low Woods
- Red Hood Outlaw
- He-Man And The Masters Of The Multiverse
- Hawkman
- RWBY
- Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen
- The Terrifics
- Martian Manhunter
- Last God
- Metal Men
- Freedom Fighters
- Dreaming]
- Gotham City Monsters
- Lucifer
- Books Of Magic
- Wonder Twins
- House Of Whispers
- Dial H For Hero
So that might indicate there was another reason for Supergirl's cancellation. Potentially they didn't want to start a new arc when the new Crisis/Convergence II/Generation Five/5G is meant to relaunch everything anyway? Could be we seeing other titles come to an imminent close in June and July? Like The Green Lantern concluding with #8 instead of the planned #12? No more Batman Incorporated-style holdover situations like they had with the New 52?
