>it was the largest January, in nominal dollars, in the Diamond Exclusive Era
Thanks to Marvel's usual sales practices for its key #1's, Snydershit, and in small part movie cash-ins

A possible culprit in the recent fuck-ups in Diamond sales releases:
>As mentioned, December's sales were artificially low because Diamond did not have a full release week during Christmas Week: rather, a handful of select titles had been shipped to stores the Friday before, street-dated for the 26th. While those comics weren't invoiced until Jan. 9, it does appear that the expected dollar value was figured into the December charts, because those Christmas-week releases have normal dollar rankings.

Do you remember at one point half of a Top 10 chart was populated with Bendis issues?

I didn't notice it till now, but both Batman and Heroes in Crisis are getting outperformed by Amazing Spider-Man. Does anyone know if variants for that issue had any incentives? Because I don't see retailers suddenly increasing their orders just because it had a Conan vs Kraven variant by Greg Land.

Keep in mind, ASM's sales for last month were the following:

#11: 79,799
#12: 75,155

That would imply Batman and HiC would be doing less than 80,000. HiC #3 was at 83,794 in November. Compare that to Doomsday Clock #8 which had 123,768.

I don't think the movie will fail, but remember that these are preorders. Retailers are ordering because they expect people to come in to buy the TPB after seeing the movie, and they had success with Black Panther. This may or may not work because sometimes media doesn't always raise sales of the comics significantly.

You shouldn't ignore Batman because for a long time that was a mid-list title selling in like the 50,000's back in the late 90's/early 00's. It mainly stayed consistently in the top 10 because of the Snyder/Capullo run. Even during Morrison's run he wasn't always in the top 10.

Too many people on this board take Batman's presence in the Top 10 for granted.

Ignoring #1s is fine though because there are times when retailers order heavy on #1s and then slash orders for subsequent issues.

He is the current writer of Superman, Young Justice (comic) and Naomi. Although he is more well-known for his works at Marvel, where he wrote at one point or another every fucking character that company has (during the last few years, he hasn't been very good). He also created the Ultimate Universe, Miles Morales and Jessica Jones. He tends to ignore continuity, use "Bendis Speak" and he wrote a lot of events for Marvel (Practically none of those were good).
