		<description>[...] December 2007 Sales&#160;Figures  The December 2007 sales estimates have been out for several weeks now. In fact, January 2008 estimates should be coming out soon. So instead of trying to quickly cobble together a feeble analysis, I&#8217;ll defer to Paul O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s December 2007 edition of his Marvel Month-to-Month Sales column at The Beat, the comics blog for Publisher&#8217;s Weekly. O&#8217;Brien uses a different source for his figures than I do, but the difference is less than +/- 100 copies and usually less than +/- 50 copies, and so is rather negligible for these purposes. Of course, take everything with a grain of salt. Neither my analysis or O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s should be translated into factual statements on a given title&#8217;s success or lack thereof.

		<description>Apart from Marvel&#039;s event-y books (the X-titles, Spider-Man, and Hulk), all their books appear to be somewhat lower, a lot lower, or a whole lot lower than they were either 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago, or 4 years ago.

Two possibilities: people are finally getting tired of the ever-changing status-quo that remains unexplored before being changed yet again. Or just more and more people are waiting for the trade and therefore not supporting the single issues. It&#039;s probably a mixture of both, and if the loss of sales in singles results in a bigger amount of sales in tpb&#039;s, then no problem. But if it doesn&#039;t, then despite the overall better picture (add all the books together and they do fine thanks to the regular new series with high numbers like Thor and Ultimates 3), they&#039;re not managing to hang on to a large chunk of their audience.

No doubt retailers will order LOTS of Secret Invasion though. They always do. But as the numbers show, in the end it&#039;s hack-and-slash again, trying to keep up with reader apathy.</description>

		<description>&gt;293.  GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN
&gt;12/07  Back in Black - 2,349

IIRC that was a magazine reprint and not a digest. They also did this with &quot;X-Men: First Class&quot; and two other titles.

And yes, &quot;X-Men: First Class #6&quot; was re-shipped even without retailers complaining about damaged copies (at least we didn&#039;t complain/notice &#039;cause apparently our copies were okay).

And Marvel also shipped a sh!tload of &quot;Fallen Son: Iron Man&quot; as promotional copies to retailers.</description>

		<description>&quot;Somebody has apparently found an old crate of FALLEN SON: IRON MAN issues down the back of a sofa, as it picks up 8,336 re-orders, five months after coming out.&quot;

Could this be a variant cover?  Jeph Loeb was at a local con over the weekend, and it seemed like every artist in attendance was given a copy with a white box for sketches, I think by ACTOR/HERO INITIATIVE as a fundraiser.</description>
