‘Justice League #1’ Sells 300,000 Copies In Four Months. Imagine If It Was Good!
I’m the opposite of opaque about this: the Justice League relaunch by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee is refried nonsense dog shit. Boring. Tired. Predictable. Doesn’t matter! Quality doesn’t matter. The thing is selling in droves.
Robot 6:
Four months in, the DC Comics relaunch seems to be a success. The most recent sales figures show Justice League #1 selling more than 360,000 copies since August, and Batman #1 and Action Comics #1 selling more than 250,000. By contrast, Marvel’s strongest seller was Ultimate Spider-Man #160, which was in the 160,000-copy neighborhood. These figures seem to reflect sales in the direct market only; it would be interesting to see how many digital copies have been sold.
If it helps the industry, I suppose.
