[Rich adds: I also talked to a couple of legal experts at the show, who both pointed out that the showings of Daredevil and The Walking Dead were technically free, even if shown to people who attended the show[...]
The new Loot Crate subscription box for October includes a variant edition of this month's issue of The Walking Dead #132 Given that around 150,000 of these boxes go out and that these orders for Diamond exclusive publishers such as Image go through Diamond, they should be adding these numbers on top of the comic's[...]

The Walking Dead hitting sixth spot on the chart might be a factor in this.
A four week August compared to a five week July saw sales drop by a fifth as you might expect But notably, sales are up on last year's five week August….
