Biggest books in terms of what – print run?
Print run
And units sold.
Tks. Is a top 10 spec 2017 comics list in the plan?
There has been something in the works.
I thought yall did a spec list a few weeks ago?
This isn’t a spec list. It is a list of the top selling books for 2017. It’s Diamonds official list.

In fact, most of the books having such high print runs would cause me to tread lightly with spec on them.

Size I think…,lol, just kidding.
Actually, number of covers has a lot to do with it. lol.
If copies sold is it not strange that metal 3 sold more than metal 2, as surely anyone who reads 3 would have had to have read 2?
More variants I think.
These are straight from Diamonds list.
Suprisingly there are a huge number of people who also just collect and not read.
Read???…..so you’re saying there’s a story behind the cover?
Also, if stores didn’t pick up on how hot Metal was when they had to order issues #1 and #2, perhaps they ordered more of issue #3 based on the demand for issues #1 & #2. This scenario could explain more copies sold of #3.
But what about people who are late to the game and perhaps had to read numbers one and two digitally? Also, if I’m not mistaken, there are first appearances in #2 which mightake people think there will be more in number 3 and jump on?
they should put next to these numbers how many different excusive covers they had
I think 2 of them did not have (se#0 and doom#2)
There are multiple for several and they should discern how many covers came out for each one.
