>>105732889What I'm saying about sales and why you can't compare em is, Bendis has been working for almost three decades and has Avengers, Spider-Man, Jessica Jones, X-Men, a bunch of events etc on his resume i.e he sells both because of the name/brand recognition and because of the existing fanbase from back when he had a forum.
Cates sells despite being a noname, what, 4-5 years into his career? Bendis around that time was doing his crime comics and definitely wasn't a big seller. Cates' case is pretty much unprecedented in at least this decade, can't say for sure about the 00s but I can't recall any other cases like that in a long time.
