Who had this to say…

Ssalefish Comics: Much bigger week than we've been seeing. Our top 10 was split between DC's larger titles and the X-books from Marvel, with Empyre right in the middle. It was good to see that folks hadn't forgotten about Hellions, given that it's been several months since the first issue. Honorable mention to Decorum, which easily would have been one of the bestsellers had it not had so much tough competition.
Collector's Paradise Pasadena: EMPYRE and JOKER WAR did amazing as expected, Ranger Slayer killed with some amazing surprises and cool covers. Boom new releases continue to do strong, WYND is fantastic and the FOLKLORDS TP was the biggest selling TP of the week. Our customers love Jonathan Hickman and Decorum continues to be a HUGE seller.
