Anyone know when the latest sale figures come out. My LCS order more for this story line but they extras he bought seemed to just lay there.

 

I think the July numbers came out last week.

 

Atomic-Chandler keeps ticking me off on ASM. They always seem to be 1-2 copies short and have to do transfers from Mesa if I'm not there every Wednesday when the new issues come out. I'm still quitting after Romita Jr.'s done, although the counter help keeps trying to talk me into staying on as they believe the book's getting stronger story-wise.

I'm a couple back, but the Anti-Venom seems kind of silly (and I like the BND arcs).

 

Mile High said that there sales on ASM were much higher with Venom (sellouts). It's a huge change as the pre-Venom BND's were at near all-time low sellings.

i think this story would have been pretty good with another artist on the book. I mean come on, the last page of the latest issue would have been awesome if it were not drawn by JRJR. I dont mean to hate on JRJR, but his stuff just does not pop like most artists out there these days.

The return of Romita Jr and the associated variant cover frenzy finally provided a jump for the title. Too bad it immediately starting tanking again the next issue. It'll be interesting to see if sales stabilize higher than before but I tend to doubt it. Also, it's kind of sad, and I'm not highlighting ASM here, that gimmicks are still being used to boost sales. I have too many bad memories of the 90s variant craze and think the same mistakes we saw then are being repeated today. In fact, comics overall were down again in August for the seventh straight month. Maybe we are seeing a return of a mini-crash...the last one didn't happen overnight. And comics are selling far fewer now than at a comparable point in the 90s crash so I wouldn't be surprised if the pain effects more mainstream titles than before...

I actually like where JRJR's style has gone...but I can see where it's not for everyone. It kind of reminds me of David Mazzuchelli's art a little bit. Not really realistic, but not cartoon-anime either.

 

I'm still enjoying this title quite a bit, it'll be interesting to see how they proceed after JR leaves.
