Highest prediction is a very optimistic # 7/8 and lowest is # 126.
# 10 and two picks for # 13 also seem optimistic.
We also have guesses for 17th and 18th place rankings, which might be possible.
Seems like most see the mini only breaking into the top 30 (with guesses for rankings at # 22, # 25, # 26, # 27, # 28 and # 30) or top 40 (predictions for # 31 and # 35).
While at one time, Perez alone might have been enough of a draw to crack the top 10, I fear that is no longer the case. It will certainly be interesting to see where the mini ands up ranking as so much is going on this summer. It would be nice to see a Legion title break the top 30 *or* 40.

Strong words of belief from longtime Legion fan/internet superstar Lard Lad!
It will truly be sad if the combination of Legion of Super-Heroes with a superstar team like Johns and Perez cannot make this a hit, no matter what the circumstances (I myself would consider the entire mini making top 30 a "hit" in today's market).

Let's give an optimistic #25. (And I'll be very happy to have underestimated it if this thing does sell like hotcakes).

Those sales figures for Lo3W will be released soon, so make your prediction!
Upon visiting the comic shop Friday, I noticed LOTS of Lo3W on the shelf, we're talking in SECRET INVASION-style numbers here. So if my store reflects other stores natiowide... those predictions of top 10 or 20 maybe were right on the money.
Soon we will know, but I think my original prediction of # 28 might have been too low.

The way this is being sold recently, I'd say it will be #2 book for DC this month, and probably top 20 on Diamond.

There's still time to make your prediction!
Perez is definitely still a draw, just his name on a book in a first issue will put in the top 30 or so....after that it depends on how good it is.
IMO, he's still the best artist in the business....and he's still evolving as well.

By the way, Legion monthly is up 8% this month, with no gimmick. Meaning: if DC had somehow wanted to tie LSH to L3W, it would make a hell of a good thing to Shooter's run. But, from Dan DiDio's recent speeches, they will stick to the foundation of the characters (so, goodbye Threeboot and good riddance Archie Legion).

I imagine reorders will be incredibly high--the major sites are filled with praise and recommendation for issue number 1. Seems like it's getting a Sinestro Corps-level buzz about it.

At my LCS today they said they way under ordered LO3W 1. I wish I could remember if he said he was going to have to wait for a second printing or not for the re-orders. He might have said second printing, or it might just be wishful remembering on my part. But they definitely under ordered LO3W #1 and are going to have to order some more copies.
And they had a lot of copies of it last week.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Has anyone heard of / seen any numbers yet, or are we still in speculation-land?
I'd love to hear that this is doing better than some of the other stuff they are doing.
