they went kinda big for the VO for Avengers Academy.

It's not even the good Avengers Academy.

No, it's the best Avengers Academy.

AA mobile > AA comic. I actually like more than one character this go round.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Did avengers academy have Caselli? I think that might have been the first time I saw his work

That was Avengers: The Initiative. I did think he drew the time Spider-Man tutored at Avengers Academy, turns out that was Reilly Brown.

Ah wait no you're totally right, I am think of the initiative. Was academy a successor or just a totally different thing?

Sort of. All the initial class were created for the book, except for Reptil who was imported from The Initiative (well, if we're being exact, he comes from The Super Hero Squad Show). Christos Gage wrote AA, and he was co-writer on most of The Initiative as well.

Cool, I think I had moved to only reading vertigo and image stuff at that point, so that era is a little fuzzy. It was really only the new 52 that got me reading big two mainline stuff again.

The top 100 for August is here. OF NOTE: The first Civil War II book in the top 100 is The Fallen #1 at #41. The first tie-in in the list is Invincible Iron Man #12 at #55. Good god that event has been a fucking trainwreck.

DC must be satisfied with how Hanna Barbera books are selling since they already have more planned.

The Deadpool books tie-in. Also, I would think that the sales themselves are more important than the placement.

I just want it to end. At the rate it's going, we'll get Monsters Unleashed #1 before it finishes.

Oh, yeah.

BUT ALSO: DEADPOOL IS BEING OUTSOLD BY FLIPPING AQUAMAN.

 

[TetraxShards]

Oh, yeah.

BUT ALSO: DEADPOOL IS BEING OUTSOLD BY FLIPPING AQUAMAN.

Multiple $10 books in the same run will do that, and there's another one coming.

Plus, current Deadpool kind of sucks now. Spider-Man/Deadpool is much better. And there's a lot of older Deadpool product out there for movie fans.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Oh, yeah.

BUT ALSO: DEADPOOL IS BEING OUTSOLD BY FLIPPING AQUAMAN.

So I guess that we can take this to mean Aquaman is more interesting than Deadpool. I'm not terribly surprised. Marvel has been milking Deadpool too much for too long.

 

[TetraxShards]

I think the kind of person who would be interested in buying something Deadpool-related is much more likely to buy a shirt or a figure rather than a comic, but DC sold 400K of Harley Quinn, so IDFK.

 

[Freezasaurus]

but DC sold 400K of Harley Quinn, so IDFK.

Yeah, but how much of that was Messi?

 

[Owzers]

Oh, yeah.

BUT ALSO: DEADPOOL IS BEING OUTSOLD BY FLIPPING AQUAMAN.

More like Flippering, right comics-gaf?

 

[Sandfox]

Oh, yeah.

BUT ALSO: DEADPOOL IS BEING OUTSOLD BY FLIPPING AQUAMAN.

Both books probably sold around 50k, which is actually a good number for Deadpool. Rebirth just brought a nice boost to Aquaman.

 

[TetraxShards]

Yeah, but how much of that was Messi?

How many covers were there? That's your answer.

But seriously, I thought he said he doesn't read it anymore?

More like Flippering, right comics-gaf?

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faaaaaaaaaaster than liiiiiiiiiiiightning....

 

[Brian Fellows]

Deadpool's strength has always been carrying a bunch of titles to good sales not having any one title sell great.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Yeah, but how much of that was Messi?

Depends. What age we saying Harley is these days?

CW2 put me off a lot of their books for now. Looks like I'm not the only one.

 

[TetraxShards]

Well, she is a psych, so unless she had a Doogie Howser-esque rise, she's an adult.

Hmm, not sure we can put this one on Messi then. Not this time.

 

[VanWinkle]

Even though it's still early days, I think it's far enough to tell that Rebirth genuinely seems like a big success for DC.

Only thing, though - Green Arrow deserves to be higher on that list.

The main critique I read about green arrow was some really hammy dialogue, Olli literally stating his character traits out loud and stuff, has this improved/did you ever notice anything like that in the first place?

 

[shingi70]

Are Lana and John supposed to be married in Superwoman?

 

[Zombine]

I hope DC rides this wave of Aquaman's success. Could be a huge splash in the industry.

Dolphins.

I've heard that from one or maybe two people (repairmanjack the only one I can think of right now). I'm SLIGHTLY sensitive to hammy dialogue, but not too much. I haven't noticed it at all really. It's a really fun comic that doesn't take itself overly seriously.

"If these trends continue..........ayyyyyyyyy."

Hey, not saying it's going to last forever. But, I mean...the proof is there. It's been several months.

 

[Brian Fellows]

4 of my books in the top 100. BOOYA!

 

[Lashley]

Finally got around to reading the latest Walking Dead

What a weak death at the beginning. Good ending though.

 

[PsychBat!]

What?

 

[TetraxShards]

What?

LOL

The next Harley arc is her learning to make gifs.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

I'm glad I decided to read Southern Cross Volume 1 in trade before reading #7. When I read the first arc digitally I must've missed issue #6 because I didn't remember that craziness at all.

#7 wasn't what I expected -- it will be interesting to see who the POV character will be in this new arc.

That's cool. I've been trying to keep a check on how many re irth series I go in for but I feel that once I actually see those volumes on sale I'll try a good few extra. I don't have green arrow or flash down but I think there's a chance for both of them. Great to see Ferrerreya get a good gig as well.

#7 wasn't what I expected -- it will be interesting to see who the POV character will be in this new arc.

I won't be reading this arc until the second trade but I'm interested what it'll even be after the end of the first one haha. Characters etc, will be interesting.

The conspiracy inside Dan Slott's head is at least 1000 times as entertaining as The Clone Conspiracy will be.

 

[Freezasaurus]

But the Clone Conspiracy doesn't sound very entertaining at all.

 

[mreddie]

If my book sold 30k last month and was ranked 40th, then sells 30k this month and is ranked 50th...nothing happened to my book.

True but then you got Nighthawk.

 

[Sandfox]

All he did was take a shot at BC for their clickbait article title.

He said in the previous tweet that the sales numbers are what matter lol.

That would explain some things.

That gif makes me think of the current Wonder Woman run though lol.

I ended up with 14 Harley #1 issues. Maybe a few more at nycc.

I buy them I just don't read them. Physical, digital, trade.

Stockpiling for the endtimes. Messi will read through all of it when mankind falls and no more issues are being produced.

[Ross61]

Vixen is on on the DC Rebirth splash page but has yet to appear. I hope she has her own series in the second wave.
