>>113337317>There was a Blackest Night tie inI made a list of DC's cosmic series sales outside of Green Lantern to showcase why they stick to GL and Rainbow corps these days: REBELS launched low, so a trade of old LEGION would have been a mistake.

And those numbers are even MORE inflated because Didio tied low selling books (like Legion Academy's Adventure Comics) to physical corps rings, so you had to order stuff like 200% the previous month to be allowed to buy rings.
I think REBELS got the Hope rings.
As for Didio, he got everything but the last trade's worth of R.E.B.E.L.S. vol 2 collected. Even he couldn't get the accountants to print it.
