"Diamond is reporting sales of more than 42,000 for our first release, X-O Manowar #1"

 

Looking at the latest Top Sales lists, that would put X-O #1 somewhere around #35 overall and the #1 non-Marvel/non-DC book.

[krighton]

where's a link for the Top Sales list

Bleedingcool.com also reporting the 42,000+ number...

"This could well be the biggest comic publisher debut in a decade."

Wonderful for Valiant fans and not so great for people prospecting (which in my mind could not be better news after the Valiant Era of the 90s).

 

Good to see the diehards get their baby back!!!

[BadDeacon]

That's a surprisingly big number. That's very, very cool. Sets their feet on the ground running.

Amazing that it would beat Walking Dead,Saga and Fatale with higher sales.

That shows Valiant fans have some clout.

In the best Valiant news I've heard lately, Rob Liefeld doesn't like it.

robertliefeld ‏ @robertliefeld I smell a page out of the DYNAMITE playbook...

 

Warren Simons ‏ @warrensimons care to clarify what that playbook is @robertliefeld? I can get you a copy of X-O 1 early if you want to see what everyone's talking about

[BadDeacon]

Rob Liefield is obligated not to like it for old times sake

[valiantman]

Rob Liefield is obligated not to like it for old times sake

Rob Liefeld is obligated not to like any comic with FEET.

[FormerReader]

Well at least Rob is getting some attention. I don't imagine it happens much anymore.

I bet he is writing them already about a fantastic idea for a Deathmate II: Search For Cash.
