Did anyone else like the new Ant Man?  I didn’t care for it at all.  Thought it was kind of boring.

There was alot of set-up, but I’m definitely picking up Ant-Man #2

Antigone didn’t break the top 20? I demand a recount! :)

On no!  Wait, we um… only count the loser comics.  You’re on a totally different list.

I pulled the list from a Diamond invoice and caculated sales from Wednesday to Tuesday.

Antigone will show up with 10/11’s comics on Wednesday 10/18.

We’re also planning a monthly run-down of the top 50 sales including a highlight section on trades, manga, and independents.

Haha. Thank God for store signings, conventions, and a very supportive publisher—because otherwise? :) Let’s just say those Diamond order numbers were a wee bit low.

I like this “by the numbers” segment. Very interesting to see what people are buying. I need to check out Dr. Strange Oath #1.
