ICV2 have published the estimated sales figures for the month of July 2013 of Comic sales via Diamond to the North American Direct Market, which includes the placement of Uncanny X-Force (which double shipped in July) & Astonishing X-Men, both starring former Alpha Flight characters:
Uncanny X-Force:
59 | 28.61 | UNCANNY X-FORCE #8 | $3.99 | MAR | 37,781 |
61 | 28.00 | UNCANNY X-FORCE #9 | $3.99 | MAR | 36,978 |
Previous months:
#7: 40,380
#6: 42,496
#5: 45,674
#4: 47,727
#3: 51,721
#2: 56,713
#1: 86,817
It's also worth noting the placement of the TPB of the first 6 issues:
32 | 1.75 | UNCANNY X-FORCE TP VOL 01 LET IT BLEED NOW | $17.99 | MAR | 2,313 |
Astonishing X-Men has now been confirmed as cancelled, as of October's #68, which is understandable given the continuing loss of 1,000 sales per issue.
We know that Northstar is moving across to Amazing X-Men as of November and there's still talk of a reboot for Astonishing, although chances are without Northstar in it.
108 | 17.15 | ASTONISHING X-MEN #64 | $3.99 | MAR | 22,649 |
#63: 23,326
#62: 24,121
#61: 27,090
#60: 27,683
#59: 24,195
#58: 25,159
Note: Puck did not appear in Uncanny X-Force #8 (and only briefly in #9), Northstar did not appear in Astonishing X-Men #64.
