Once again, give witness to the power of events!

Sucks that JiM continues to drop down the list.

JiM is consistently one of my favorite Marvel reads every month. Loki as a teenager is great. Not sure how well Exiled is going to sell with JiM and The New Mutants being the books involved. I'm hoping that JiM continues to stick around.

Walking Dead is a monster of a franchise. Kirkman really struck gold with that one.

Here we go again!

Does this below brilliant post look familiar to you?:

Oh once again, logic has failed you. Yes your arguments were bested repeatedly. And secondly, top 10 is not the most important stat. The correct answer would be money. Yes money is the answer they were looking for. Second to that would be sales. Yes, that is how business works.

The general feeling is that JiM will end sooner than later. Gillen's already stated that his intentions were for JiM to be finite.

There's a big crossover with Thor that might dovetail towards that endpoint.

we have to give DC SOMETHING to cheer about since their New 52 numbers are plummeting and Marvel properties are killing them on virtually every other front imaginable.

The AVX is already behind JL first couple of issues orders

For the sake of this thread and the fact that Kick-Ass gave the only response needed to Cavemold's statement, I move we all just ignore further comments from Cavemold. All in favor?

And JL's first couple issues fall well short of sales on X-Men (Volume 2) #1, so clearly Marvel will maintain their hold indefinitely because the performance of a comic book from the past is absolutely indicative of what will occur in the future, ignoring the fact that we are not currently aware of what will be sold that month (Or even the two months prior to it) or the fact that things have been trending towards Marvel regaining the top spots for months.

I vote in favor of this. Anyway the industry is up 16% over last year, and watch out for Image they are bring some heat two books in the top 50 along with other indi companies in the top 100.
