You're quite right. I can't believe I blindly copied it without noticing. Comic Chronicles still has this up instead of the real numbers (as of 10:45 pm) even though they posted them as new for August (i.e. they have July linked under July and under August). When they fix it, I will. If they don't get too it too soon, I'll use another source, but I hate to do so since CC is the easiest to cut and paste.

Sorry and thanks.

A weird month:

GL and Sinestro both enjoyed a healthy bump of a few thousand copies each. Variants? I can't remember why at the moment.

Sinestro gets a reprieve even though it's sales are below The Lost Army, probably saved by it's sudden upswing.

Omega Men hit the shitter FAST. 30k for the first issue, 13k by the THIRD. And that's just what shops ORDERED based on the first month's sales. By number 6 and 7 it's going to be UGLY.

The Star Trek crossover took a HUGE dip by the second issue. I didn't expect that. I guess 16 bajillion variant covers aren't making a difference.

Me either. I was expecting the usual issue 1-to-2 dip, but I frankly thought it would outsell GL in August.

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

That's a DISASTROUS showing for The Omega Men and a surprisingly bad one for the Start Trek crossover. But a surprisingly good one for Sinestro.

["Chosen" NOT his black friend Find all posts View Profile Close "Chosen"]

DC isn't promoting the Star Trek crossover, the book has been good though.

So based off the comments Didio/Lee made it doesn't sound like fan reaction was the primary reaction the book was saved, it was the reaction of other creators at DC.

Yeah, I got that impression too. It was along the lines of "go ahead and cancel us, but let us finish the planned arc, please."

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker Moisture Farmer Find all posts View Profile Close Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

That sounds like it has the ring of truth to it.
