Figured I'd break these out from the regular figures, which you will find posted here.
04/2007: LSH31C #1 -- 13,519, #139 out of 300 05/2007: LSH31C #2 -- 11,118, #167 out of 300
Dropping like a stone already. But still outselling Justice League unlimited by over 2K and Teen Titans go by over 3K.

These titles never sell much anyways. I think JLU sold alot when it first started? I love the JLU series and I liked the first issue of this series that i've read. Couldn't get into Titans.
It'd be nice if this title stuck around a long time.

Don't forget, these numbers only reflect the issues sold through Diamond. The Johnny DC titles have other outlets... I've seen them on shelves in Target aimed at kids, for instance. TEEN TITANS GO!, which I love, has historically had low Diamond sales volumes.
It'd be interesting to see the total numbers from DC. They're in business to make money; I doubt they'd continue these titles if they sold that poorly overall, especially at the $2.25 price point.

I'm not even going to attempt that one. Michael started to over at The Omnicom but his last update was in January, long before the season ended.

Good point. I don't remember seeing those numbers in any of their toon books, actually. Of course, I haven't been a die-hard collector since the last Batman series ended-- I only get TTG! when Todd Nauck's the solicited artist, and BATMAN STRIKES! when Batgirl or Harley Quinn are featured. Now that I'm buying LSH31 as a regular title, I'll have to watch for the Total Sales summary...

The only books I still see running those TS summaries are Archies. Of course, like Pov, I don't avidly collect the others so I may just be missing them when they do publish the numbers.

I stopped logging the Legion ratings because without context they were next to useless. With comics, you have a number sold, and that's a hard number you can compare to other books and plot from week to week. With the TV show, you're measuring a percentage of the people watching at that time as well as the number of people. If it's a holiday weekend, ratings will go down because fewer people are watching, though the share might stay the same.
The show was regularly getting trounced by cable shows like Hanna Montana and Nickelodeon stuff - often by a factor of 3-4 or so. But cable audiences are measured differently from broadcast audiences, so all you can do is compare the ratings of all shows in that time slot against each other. Then what do you do when a network moves a show around, giving you different competition? A plot of just the Legion's ratings isn't going to tell you that.
Having said all that, I've seen it written that the Legion was one of the highest rated broadcast shows on Saturday morning. That's good enough for me.

Some of the CW affiliates didn't run the Legion in its regular Saturday time slot, either; Connecticut channel 20 airs it 9:00 Sunday mornings.

in the UK it ran every week day night at 6.00 pm and 8.00pm.
We ran out of new episodes after two weeks, got a few repeats then it vanished.
Still it got a few mentions in the national TV papers and in the Cartoon network comic.
