Syndicate this story
For goofy fun, I’m surprised how low it looks like Stan Lee Meets Spider-Man did. Do people just not realize that this features the great and all-powerful Joss Whedon writing?
Actually, the performance of that book makes me wonder how well he’s going to do on Runaways after the initial sales bump.
My question is why would anyone want to read Stan Lee Meets Spider-Man. That sounds like a horrible book.
I think the novelty is what spurred purchases.
There are a few interesting things to this list that I didn’t expect.
1. JLA came in ahead of Ultimates.
2. Secret Six was a surprise at just outside the top ten beating Captain America, Daredevil, and Supergirl.
3. Uncle Sam performed alot better than anticipated.
In breaking down percentages JLA came in a 8% of new sales last week. Anybody have ideas on how to display this with out looking like a bunch of small percentages once its divided up?
About Stan Lee/Spidey-- it actually wasn’t that horrible. The Stan Lee written story, while incredibly self-serving and cheesy, had nice artwork. The Joss Whedon story was clever and featured some Romita-like work from Michael Gaydos. Overall, the new stories were nice looking.
So You’re the one who bought it.
