Who had this to say…

Rodman Comics: Seeing a big increase in back issues. For comics from the 80s and 90s to a lot of graded comics. DC did really well this week. Flashpoint Beyond 0 took the top spot. Put Geoff Johns name on a comic and it sells very well here. Image received a boost thanks to him writing a story in it, also. Was surprised none of the original Image founders had a story in the book even though they show a copy of Youngblood being read on the cover. Glad to see Batman '89 finally release a new issue. Other than a new issue of X-Men, Marvel was not a big mover this week.
Ssalefish Comics: Flashpoint has been hotly anticipated so it taking the #1 spot this week isn't a shock, neither is #2 being Batman Catwoman, nor #3 being Batman 89. It's always Batman except when it's Spider-man. What if Miles Morales is a big hit and so was the X-Men 92 House of XCII where they reimagine the House of X story with the X-Men from the 90s cartoon.
Graham Crackers Comics, Flashpoint took the top spot pretty easily this week. Lots of Batman in our top 5, who would have guessed??
