Seeing only two $3.99 books in the top 10 makes me smile.

Sadly,

Justice League, Detective Comics, Dark Knight, and Superman dont deserve it at all

I agree with that assessment with the exception of JL, which I like for what it is (all-ages fun).

I don't get it. These titles are mostly so average it hurts. Is it the hitching-on-the-new-universe-bandwagon factor that drives these sales up?

It's hard to figure the dynamics. Why is Wonder Woman (better than all those) not on the list?

To be short:

the more dollar share + the less unit share = the more I am f*ucked

I have win what????

Because it's NOT better than all those, it has no action. And plus it stars a girl and everybody knows girls have cooties.

Are you telling me that Aquaman beat out everything Marvel published in January?

Are we living in a world where Aquaman outsells the X-men?

**Loren** · 02-03-2012, 12:54 PM

Wow. When was the last time Aquaman headlined a top-ten title?

You're confusing popularity with quality!

I do enjoy living in a world, however brief this time may be, where Flash and Aquaman are bigger draws than Wolverine and Spider-Man.
