Numbercrunching The New 52 DC Comics Orders

So I asked a number of retailers how they were ordering the DC Relaunch titles, compared to their sales of Justice League #1. The answers varied widely but there were some patterns. So here is a very unscientific display of how these figures would play out if they were representative of the industry as a whole… as Peter Snow used to say "it's just a bit of fun"

Each comic shows the average percentage of Justice League #1 sales, with the range that the percentages from the shops covered, followed by an estimated preorder total if this average holds true for the comic stores as a whole.
