>Last week, Bleeding Cool told you that DC Comics were making the entire run of the Man Of Steel weekly mini-series by Brian Bendis and selected artists returnable for retailers, if said retailers upped their orders considerably.

>At the time, Bleeding Cool pointed out that this may avoid DC Comics having announce the comics were returnable at a later date. For example, if they hold off revealing that the chosen and heavily promoted A-List artists for each issue may not have been given enough time to finish the comic in question and DC have had to give pages to others artists to meet deadlines.

>We also pointed out how DC editorial types had been running a book on how many pages those will be for each issue.

>However, I have been tipped off by DC editorial sources that the numbers that DC Comics received were a lot lower than expected. A lot lower. Less than you might expect for a new Superman title relaunching the character with A-List talent and spinning out of Action Comics #1001 and DC Nation #0 and more like – well, a newly launching Brian Bendis title at Marvel, without the tiered variants.

>And out of the top ten as a result.
