COMMENTS




















New 52 titles not published during this three-month period are not shown above, though they are shown in previous posts where published






Info derived from The Comic Chronicles; other sites may have different sales figures; rankings listed are for *all* publishers








To keep this list managable Annuals, minis, and titles launched after September 2011 are not covered










In the past, when sales dropped to certain points was noted. However, some titles enjoy bumps due to zero issues, crossovers, or general interest so only their current state is now noted except for 4-digit titles
Flashpoint had already started in July 2011, hence the absense of the previous Flash series












The final issue of Justice League of America and first of Justice League came out the same month, hence the double listing above







The Jan -13 % Sep-11 column is only used for titles not published in Feb-13 (ended titles and apparently the not-cancelled Superman)






Red Hood and the Outlaws was as of Feb-13 the one title selling over Sep-11 amounts












Nightwing sales are also well within 1K of Sep-11 sales; no other titles are within 10K of Sep-11 sales










Titles selling below relaunch levels: Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, Birds of Prey, Legion; most months Green Arrow








Selling at less than 50% of Sept/11: Action, Flash, Superman, Batwoman, JL Dark, Birds, Stormwatch, Legion SH, All-Star Western, Demon Knights, all cancelled titles


All the Bat-titles except Batwing tend to have low attrition 















Batman is currently DC's highest selling of the above titles and Firestorm its lowest 












For percentage of Feb sales over Sept sales, August sales for Justice League#1 were included in Sept sales of same; not a perfect solution but as accurate as we're likely to get



JL & Batman are still selling over 100,000 copies
















Justice League, Batman, Detective, and Batgirl are currently selling more than double their pre-renumbering figures









The #7 issues of Blackhawk and Men of War became the first new 52 titles to dip to 4 digits; Mr. Terrific joined them with #8; all ended in the first wave of cancellations


Legion Lost, Blue Beetle, Frankenstein, and Grifter have now ended and will not continue to be tracked.
