Who had this to say…
- Rodman Comics: Marvel crushed it this week. We had new customers coming in saying another store did not get any Marvel comics this week so that boosted demand.
- Ssalefish Comics: Spider-Man and Batman ploughed through the competition but we had impressive numbers from Hulk, Venom, X-Lives of Wolverine, and Devil's Reign. I honestly am pleased that Devil's Reign pulls the kind of numbers it does but I wish those readers had been around for Chip Zdarsky's excellent Daredevil run. Hopefully, they will stay when the new #1 launches.
- Graham Crackers Comics: Hulk was the strongest this week, barely beating Thor for our top spot. Iron Fist barely made the top 10, which was surprising given the speculative nature of that issue.
