Green Lantern Sales Numbers

[Big Blue Lantern]

Since most of the news is bad these days, at least there is some positive comic book news. I'm sure COVID won't help the 2020 numbers, but at least we know that the interest for physical copy comics isn't moribund.

And moving forward they won't be completely accurate anymore since DC won't be exclusive with Diamond.

Lol I only caught it because someone covered it on a youtube video I was watching today.

I doubt they'll be one for this month since the few books that were distributed weren't through Diamond.

^Ha. I checked this morning, but you caught it between when they posted and I re-checked.

The comics writers, artists and colorists are independent contractors and can't get unemployment benefits.

Maybe shitting on your long time customers wasn't such a good idea afterall.

[Big Blue Lantern]

You're welcome. Bro hug.

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

You can send them to me, old fella. I could use a 2nd set to use as a backdrop in the future when DC Collectibles releases their first Jo statue.

for some reason that just made me giggle.

[Big Blue Lantern]

I recently did my best to read Far Sector 1-4 and just read #5 a few minutes ago. Holy SH#T is that book woke trash. I could barely finish the issue it was so cringy.

I went in today to my local comic shop for what could very well be the last weekly stack ever. It was a very strange experience. Not only did I get the slap in the face of the final issue probably ever of Doom Patrol NOT shipping, thus ending the 7th volume incomplete...but the only 2 comics I had were Far Sector #5 and the From Beyond The Unknown 100 page giant for a new Hal Jordan story.

The Hal story was surprisingly decent, as far as 100 page giant filler stories go. Not bad at all with solid art.

Just a depressing way to finish 35 years of patronizing the comic industry. If and when DC gets its printer up and running again...if and when Diamond Dist reopens its doors...there is still the question of whether or not enough of the 1900-2000 comic shops currently open will still be around to prop up this dead industry. I'm fairly certain I already know the answer, though I could be wrong. And if I'm wrong, it's just delaying the inevitable.

It would have been nice to go out on a high note. Instead my weekly stack reading went out with a pathetic whimper.

Many businesses that are closed will never reopen.

[Space Cop]

With Diamond closing its doors for awhile, I shutter to think what might happen to the comics industry.

Yep. At the least, I think we’re going to see a wave of comic stores folding. They don’t pull in enough to operate indefinitely on old stock (if they’re even open).

[Big Blue Lantern]

Man, only the top 13 comics had more than 50,000 copies ordered. #14 on is all in the 40Ks and less. Wow.
