Ok.
Looks like DC/Marvel split. DC took the Market share, while Marvel took the unit share. By a hair.

I find that interesting. Isn't DC's books cheaper in general?
Yep. There is some differences on Marvel double shipping. I know quite a few people who don't want to buy 2 issues of the same title a month, so they drop it. It's hurting Marvel overall. I don't think DC is going to change back. Sales are up for them and they are constantly renewing interests with waves.

For those who haven't seen yet, Lucifer is going to be in another issue of Demon Knights, the #0 issue. Here on Newsarama is the preview. 🙂

I hear that quite a bit. DC also is hugely ahead of Marvel in bookstore sales. By a good margin. Looks like DC's diversity is paying off big.

Considering that he gets his books from Diamond (both Marvel and DC), and not either company directly, I'd say he was talking out of his ass. LCS's deal with Diamond middle man, and its the same middle man for both companies.
Unless he his still mad about when Marvel was offering limited edition covers to comic shops to sell at a mark up if they mailed in ripped covers of unsold issues of Blackest Night.
Anyway... apparently Grifter is in his 40s in the nu52.

Wouldn't know. I know one of his big issues with Marvel is that they don't number their trades.
