Who had this to say…

Summit Comics & Games: Hank Howard pulled to the top with only one day of sales. It was only $1 though. I debated on whether it should qualify for the top ten. Good news this week is that there really weren't any busts that I overordered on. Geiger #2 didn't get into the top ten which shocked me. I wish Time Before Time would have done a little better because I like the book. And Aftershock had another solid release with Silver City.
Rodman Comics: Great sales week. Joker #3 blew out the doors here on Tuesday. We had a lot of people buy all three different covers which surprised me. Could have sold more and hope to get more in. Batman and Scooby Doo sold amazing well and again could have sold more if we had more on hand. Geiger #2 took the top spot for us this week. Star Wars also did well, both the main title and High Republic. Looking forward to next week's Batman Fortnite #3.
Graham Crackers Comics: Batman, Spider-Man and Star Wars titles took most of the top 10 this week for us. X-Corp #1 barely made our top 10, as there are so many X-Titles on the market, people are starting to care less about new ones.
