Who had this to say for the Bestseller List…

Ssalefish Comics: Spider-man is the ruler of the roost this week with DC still playing skip weeks. Future State has a few bright spots and strong sellers but largely the event falls flat. People have resisted them from the get go and casual readers coming in don't understand why the regular heroes aren't in the books. The unfamiliar who maybe got excited for the new characters also lose interest when they hear the event is only 2-4 issues and then they become a footnote in DC history.
Rodman Comics: So cold this week I believe some customers stayed away. Star Wars titles doing great.
Dr No's: Six Marvel titles in our Top Ten, three DC, and one Image (Radiant Black). Disappointed to see so little interest in the Future State books, but I'm thankful that DC made them returnable so that we all share the risk.
