comic books you should be getting but probably aren't

list some books that you like that you feel should be selling better and be more popular than they actually are. ( also list some reasons why you think so)

heres my list

1. The All New Atom- A very fun, well writen book with above average art. Its vey funny but also has some very serious parts aswell.

2. blue Beetle- just a very funny books kind've remniscent of the JlI Giffen and Demattis Bwa ha ha days. The arts a litttle cartoony but yo get used to it .

3. Manhunter- all the people on this site who complain about DC charcters being too perfect this book is for you. Kate Spencer (Manhunter) is one of the most human and falwed characters in comcis today.

I agree with Manhunter.

Priest's Panther run is the perfect example, but I had a subscription.

I hear nothing but good things about Shadowpact, but I keep forgetting to check it out.

I also need to get around to checking out Authority.

1 - Girls

2 - Nightly News

I agree on Shadowpact as one.

I don't know how well Tales of the Unexpected or Mystery in Space are selling, but I think both of them are really good as well.

Sadly Manhunter is being cancelled

Shadowpact is awesome, great stuff just a fun read

The Lone Ranger.

Nuff' Said.

as I see it heres how the main comic companies view sales

90,000+- Extremely good sales you usally see this for major relaunches(JLA,JSA)or event books (Civil War, Infinite Crisis, 52)

65,000 +- very good sales usually books like The main Batman titles , the main Superman titles, Team Books like Teen titans or Fantastic four , Wolverine Titles, X-men titles.

40,000+- pretty good sales books like ION, Spiderman Supergirl, Flash, New X-men, Black Panther usally have these numebrs

28,000 +- average to belwo avergae sales thes titles won't be cancelled any time soon but they aren't the companies biggest sellers by any stretch of the imaganation.

10,000+ - these book are basically on death watch. Usally books like Manhunetr, Iron fist, Irredemable Ant-man, manhunter, Firstorm, and Atom are found here

but it also depend son the publisher
to DC and Marvel a book selling 10,000 copies is horrible since they are the mainstream ocmic companie sand thus have many titles selling alot more than that.

While Smaller companies like Darkhorse or creater owned comics would look at one of their comics selling 10,00 copies actually being pretty good.

I may be wrong on this however. 😕

sadly, i think immortal iron fist and the irredeemable ant-man are some of the more interesting titles i've read recently.

If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure it sold alot better then 10k though. Brubakers already said its not going anywhere soon, didnt it sell like average-ish (28k?) because it had a second printing.
