Does that mean these books could be doing good numbers on newsstands, bookstores, etc.? (do some convenience stores and groceries still sell comics?) Marc, here’s a question:

Actually, Rich Johnston reports today in LITG that inker John Lucas confirmed (back in November on a podcast, if you can believe it) that EXTERMINATORS will be gone with #30. “Despite the awful periodical numbers, first-month collection sales in the direct market seem to be alright for both The Exterminators and Scalped, so they should be safe for the time being.”

That’s 28,000 more people than purchased the highest selling book on this month’s DC chart. And that’s 7.3 times the total sales for Shadowpact. Who goes to Comic-Con for comics?! Seriously.

Which is wrong, since I acknowledged them in the introduction. Given that the column's focus is on periodicals, I agree with your earlier statement that a closer analysis of those book sales would be beyond its scope. That said, to be frank, I don't think you can get a lot of mileage out of them, since (a) we've got no idea how the books are doing outside the direct market, (b) we ultimately won't even know total sales in the direct market, once they drop out of the Top 100, and (c) they're one-shot releases rather than parts of a series, so there are no previous or subsequent volumes with which to compare their first-month sales. All those numbers tell us for certain is that both books are doing very, very well in the direct market. And I did that. Well, you complained that they weren’t even mentioned.
