Does anyone know if they've gone up since Legion 25? After all, that was the point of Superboy, Darkseid and the big publicity push DC's been giving it wasn't it?

It'll be a couple of weeks, probably, before we see the sales figures for # 26. With Legion being bi-weekly for the last month we are kinda ahead in issues but behind in the rankings. The last listing was released on 11/11 which had the rankings for # 25. The next one should have # 26, # 27 and the Secret Files.

I've actually got the figures gathered for the whole year. Just waiting for the final actual numbers for Novemember I believe. I'll post it tonight if I get time.

While I like to see the Legion having the third best showing I doubt the accuracy of a list that has Batman at an almost negative 39%. This was a title that sold over 100,000 copies per month for the last year. How can that be a decrease in sales?

6 months ago we were in the midst of Jim Lee's run onthe title. Now we are past all that. Monstrous sales slip post-Lee.

Has the drop been that bad? I hadn't noticed the numbers on the new creative team's run yet. And I only thought we were two issues into it. Heck, I'm way behind on my reading.

300k copies! I haven't seen numbers like that since the 80's! I bet whoever assigned Loeb and Lee to Batman got a Christmas bonus for those sales.

Y'know, I usually pay attention to those numbers, but I had not a clue that Legion #25 did 30,000 copies! Very cool. Sure, the subsequent issues didn't maintain that, but they're still doing a whole lot better than the title had been doing.
Thanks Lightning Lad!
