COMMENTS
























New 52 titles not published during this three-month period are not shown above, though they are shown in previous posts where published










Info derived from The Comic Chronicles; other sites may have different sales figures; rankings listed are for *all* publishers












To keep this list managable Annuals, minis, and titles launched in May 2011 are not covered















In the past, when sales dropped to certain points was noted. However, some titles enjoy bumps due to zero issues, crossovers, or general interest so only their current state is now noted except for 4-digit titles


Flashpoint had already started in July 2011, hence the absense of the previous Flash series
















The final issue of Justice League of America and first of Justice League came out the same month, hence the double listing above











The Sept-Sept column is used only for those titles ending that month; Justice League International ended one month sooner, hence its absense










While the overall trend is still downward, a number of titles enjoyed a sales bump, apparently many due to a Batman related event











Catwoman and especially Suicide Squad actually sold over the Sept-2011 totals; was the latter part of the bat-event?













In Nov/12 these titles sold more than (Sept/11 minus 10K): Suicide Squad, Catwoman, Batgirl, Animal-Man, Batman and Robin; normally it's just Animal-Man








Titles selling below relaunch levels: Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, Green Arrow, Birds of Prey, Legion of Super-Heroes











Selling at less than 50% of Sept/11: Action, Flash, Superman, JL Dark, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Stormwatch, Firestorm, Legion SH, Deathstroke, Batwing, DCU Presents, Demon Knights, I Vampire, all cancelled titles

Suicide Squad at least this month has the least percentage attrition since #1; all the Bat-titles except Batwing tend to have low attrition as well










Batman is currently DC's highest selling of the above titles and Grifter its lowest 

















For percentage of Feb sales over Sept sales, August sales for Justice League#1 were included in Sept sales of same; not a perfect solution but as accurate as we're likely to get








Justice League and Batman are selling > 100,000 copies



















Justice League, Batman, and Batgirl are currently selling more than double their pre-renumbering figures














The #7 issues of Blackhawk and Men of War became the first new 52 titles to dip to 4 digits; Mr. Terrific joined them with #8; all ended in the first wave of cancellations
