Who had this to say…
- Graham Crackers Comics: Marvel dominated our top 10 this week.
- Ssalesfish: Michael Keaton is presumably stil everyone's favorite Batman because Batman '89 continues to dominate. 4 Batman books in the top 10 means that no matter how much I hear people say they don't like how many Caped Crusader centered books DC publishes the numbers say otherwise. Amazing Spider-man sold above our average and we are completely out of it including variants I put out at cover price.
- Rodman Comics: New comic sales in store were slow this week. Joker 8 took the top spot. Batman 89 issue 3 took second. People really are enjoying the limited series. Immortal Hulk 50 had one cover that everyone seemed to want over the others creating a reorder for the one cover while the rest of the covers had disappointing sales for us. Amazing Spider-man 76 did not do well for us. Ben is not the Spider-man most people want to read about. Sonic the Hedgehog 45 managed to break into the top ten for us.
