In the same token, they can't say that Alpha Flight cause the decline since it's been steadily dropping with each issue. Aren't Number 1s always selling better than their Number 9s (with maybe Walking Dead type of buzz exceptions)?

[Phil]

Agreed, but it's no help.
The reason that AF got their first series was because their guest spots in UXM were so received.

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the issues in the arc do.
#9's variant cover will slightly skew the count though.

I was thinking the same thing.

Some things may go in Alpha's favour, however. For instance, if the issue AFTER their appearances end continues to fall in numbers, then people could assume (wrongly, but they could!) that Alpha's appearance helped to keep the decline from being worse, for their issues.

Technically, I'm not helping, since I was buying the title before Alpha showed up.

(No, I won't be buying multiple copies for the appearance.)

Yeah, but like FP says at least you haven't dropped it.
