The 2005 relaunch, the first 6 issues ALL sold over 100k. #1 had 123k in the first month, and re-appeared on the chart for FOUR months, bringing the total to something like 160-170k. #2 and #3 also had heavy reorder activity.<br /><br />This was before digital, I admit, but raw physical sales, the 2005 relaunch was huge, and Supergirl #1 totals with re-orders topped the Wonder Woman (with re-orders) re-launch about a year later.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055675095443418258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-69276470665292787212016-09-27T21:06:02.041-04:002016-09-27T21:06:02.041-04:00So, is Supergirl: Rebirth #1 the best-selling Supe...So, is <i>Supergirl: Rebirth</i> #1 the best-selling Supergirl solo book ever? I think even the pre-Flashpoint <i>Supergirl</i> #1 just barely missed cracking 100 thousand. Hopefully, <i>Supergirl</i> continues to do well (although I wonder if the intentional "similar but different from the TV show" mandate by editorial is going to hurt numbers).<br /><br />As for <i>Action Comics</i>, I'm going to say that pre-Flashpoint Superman fighting Doomsday for the dozenth time (or so) is probably the wrong foot to start off with. Jurgens is absolutely great with characterization, and there are new bits like Super-Luthor and Mr. Oz, but the supposed main attraction is so overused that there's no sense of danger anymore. <br /><br />Both <i>Superman</i> issues broke 80 thousand, so overall, the Superman lines are basically doing almost double of what they were before Rebirth, which is incredible. I never would have expected the bounce-back by the Super-family of books just three months ago.

Writer Steve Orlando seems to understand what makes SG tick, and doesn't seem preoccupied with the ego-tripping 'gotta leave my creative stamp' shtick that has marred previous recent runs. Looking forward to what the future will bring. <br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-30184812398292240002016-09-27T14:21:55.480-04:002016-09-27T14:21:55.480-04:00So Supergirl is potentially a big seller when her ...So Supergirl is potentially a big seller when her book is given a lot of coverage AND it is being well written AND Supergirl looks like Supergirl? Inconceivable!<br /><br />Well, I guess DC has finally understood what they were doing wrong and they will not mistreat the character again.<br /><br />Pfffff... Yeah riiiight.
