Ahhh so he is Desh from CBR!!

I love reading the responses to his post on there too

Do you spend much time there? I don't as much as I used to, but it does seem to have quite a bit of GL discussion over there.

Is there any idea how Sinestro #1 did?

They haven't posted April sales yet, but I'll keep checking. They usually get to it around the 8th of the next month but it's been earlier and later.

So Sinestro debuted at #33 and actually beat this weeks Green Lantern book. It won't stay that way, but I guess that's alright for a book that DC apparently decided they could just market with the title, and nothing else.

Huh. My usual source (Comic Chronicles) hasn't published April sales yet, but you're the second person to refer to some of that data.

Well it doesn't seem THAT inaccurate, besides its just numbering, there are no actual sales estimate apparently.

Yeah, I checked my backup site and they don't have the final numbers either, so the full info might not be released yet. I'll keep checking. It won't be more than another day or two.

Yeah Diamond usually drops the rankings first and then everyone seemingly gets the official data soon after.

[Trey Strain Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Trey Strain]

Diamond's numbers are always about 3k below the real totals. DC's normal cancellation point is 20k, which is 17k on Diamond.

If it is true that Sinestro beat out GL. I would usually be happy for it, however with the current direction of Green Lantern. It's not that impressive. It would be like bragging about beating up a crippled kid. That's some low hanging fruit there.

The numbers are up. All the Lantern titles lost about 1k in sales. If that doesn't stop, then all of the but the flagship comic will be in trouble by the first of the year.

That's true, and RLs is flirting with serious trouble. It's lost almost 2/3rds of its readership since it started. I expect DC would find a way to salvage GLC, but we could be looking at only 3 titles, which includes the Sinestro experiment, by the summer of 2015.

Which wouldn't be bad at all. Three Lantern titles is more than enough.
