Just wondering how successful of a character he is, sales-wise, nowadays. Is he doing good, meh, or bad, and how does his sales compare to, say, Batman, Spider-Man or Spawn?

Bump.

@deathstroke52: l0l what, you want to know too?

@kramotz: Yeah?

His main book sold around 50.000 $ when Johns' was on board. Action Comics sells around 40.000.

Morrison's run AC sold from 180.000 and decended gradually from there to 60.000

@kramotz: awful, Hawkeye and thor are both selling more than him

Not even a third of Spider-Man's sales

I am sure there are fans that know the numbers better than me in the Superman forums.

You can move it there by using "full edit"

His sales are decent, Batman and Spider-man consistently sell far better than Superman does though.

Hawkeye just debuted dummy :P 1st issues sell way more than regulars.

Also Thor had a lot of hype on its back and the gimmick drew in the females audience.

@squalleon: yeah fair points, I'm sure his sales will pick up after convergence he's usually top 10 I was surprised how low he was

I am not sure if sales will became better. Plenty of people don't like the ''Truth" direction and post convergence the Superman titles start with a crossover. Which is a no-no for a casual reader.

Bad tactic by DC imo.

@ariesxmasters: I expected more from the greatest comic book character of all-time (IGN, Empire Magazine).

@comicsrulebutdbzdoes2: Yikes... That doesn't sound too good at all for the Man of Steel.

@deathstroke52: I wasn't antagonizing you or anything. I just thought it was interesting that I wasn't the only one who wanted to know.

That's fine. :D

I'm pretty sure around 50k a month

@kramotz:

Annn that is their opinion, and really doesn't reflect sales at all.

Depends on the writer, really.

Good writers pull in around 50,000 on Superman, which is average for non-Snyder Batman, but that's all Batman no matter the quality of the writers.

Spider-Man sells a lot, close to 80,000 on his books, good or bad.

Justice League sells 60,000 on average.

And usually, it's Marvel's cr@p events and number 1s that dominate the top 10 along with Marvel's cr@p Star Wars books.
