Omega Flight still in the top 50 :-D

[Corvus]

nice!

[Barnacle13]

Looks like a bit of a drop off from issue #1

39 39 103.32 OMEGA FLIGHT #1 CWI (Of 5) $2.99 MAR

I wonder what this equates to in actual number of books sold. We never did come up with a good explanantion of the 103.32 sales number. But this months numbers show about a 30 point drop. I hope this isn't a trend, but it seems in most of the places I've been reading that folks are cooling off on this title because of the pace. Perhaps if an ongoing were announced folks would decide to hang around for the remainder of the team formation arc.

The book is still doing better than a lot of Marvel products, but will that be enough to save them from the chopping block. In the past it hasn't I just hope some things have changed and it'll get its chance.

[DelBubs]

There's always a drop in #2 sales on any series. People like to buy #1's I guess? 71...+ is still good going. I think sales on #3 are going to be the tester.

[Transmetropolitan]

That, and print runs tend to be bigger on #1s, 'cause of all the collectors out there.


Seriously. It's kinda sad.

[-K-M-]

#42 is a very solid number

[Canucklehead]

I think the biggest drop will be between ish 3 and 4, by people's responses on other sites. But we will see.

btw, if #1s sell that much better, Marvel would be foolish not to start an ongoing at #1 8)

[Mokole]

Wow, #42! :o

And who they beat, again, Superman, Batman, Flash, and Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Runaways.... :D

[Dfense75]

Not bad not bad! Lets hope the trend continues

[Beta Ray Daz]

That's great! I personally think #3 sold better (than #2) in the stores I frequent! maybe it was the sweet cover ;)
