I actually usually come here for 5 weeks with one at my own expense. But can't due to NYCC this year. We all get 4 weeks paid vacation here if you are full time employed. USA folks don't? Most seem very taken back by the thought of that much time off when I mention it.

Pretty rare in the US. I get four weeks in the military, and most government jobs seem to hover in the 2-4 week range. White collar stuff typically starts at a week or two and you build up as you work with the company.

A lot of old buddies working blue collar or retail jobs don't have any paid leave. No work, no money. It's a garbage system and they understandably don't take many (or any) vacation days.

Don't get me started on maternity leave...

BC Bestseller List 24th July 2016: "No Marvel Universe Comics, Just DC Rebirth and Star Wars."
Click to expand...

*Caveat: We pulled all this data entirely from two days worth of sales from six brick and mortar stores, and have no earthly clue what the actual sales of any of these titles was. We have no way to track digital sales, like at all.

Marvel's official response: "Let's talk sales of these Rebirth books in six months."

What is going on here? Did you jumble your list through a randomizer? I'm trying to go all A Beautiful Mind here and coming up empty.

I would be pretty upset if Marvel copied the Rebirth business model.

You mean bimonthly? I'd agree there. If you mean a back to the basics approach, I wouldn't favor that. If you mean a relaunch with a ton of #1s flying off the shelf, we're already there, fam.

That part I get. Did you randomly copy and paste them from a list or something? I couldn't figure out your system. They aren't alphabetical, they aren't sorted by publisher, and there's random spacing between titles. Are these like your tiers for the week?

I'm not smart enough for your list.
