>#1 in superhero comics
So basically not even in the top 30?

Kek, it's not even in the Top 50.

>Aaaand, the Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels sales chart is identical to the Top 20 Manga sales chart. Western superhero comics continue to take an absolute beating from their manga competitors. Note that the best-selling superhero title was Batman: Year One which sold 9,870 units. That is not even remotely close to what the number 20 manga title which sold 15,481 units.
>There is not much else to say. Marvel Comics and DC Comics continue their inevitable slide into irrelevancy with each month.

Remember to make fun of Taylor when his Superman gets canceled Yea Forums.

Yes but,

Where's the source? That's just a screenshot, not a link. I cannot find these rankings online.

Surely he's talking about Amazon.

Amazon

Yeah

Haha so he lied.

he didn't deny being an idiot

Actually I just checked and the TPB still hasn't come out yet.

I see 149 ratings in the Amazon shop. If you can reach #1 with 149 ratings, that's a dead market.

>the 12th top selling graphic novel was a limited print fun book that has a max of 7000 copies
God damn that’s depressing

No Amazon updates it’s rankings constantly, so it’s not unheard of that he just got the snap shot at the right moment

It wouldn’t even be listed ina graphic novel section. Where did he get these? A word document?

Has to be an old snapshot then because it's not even close right now.

It's from early March.
Also, Amazon bestsellers update like every 10 minutes, so it was a small snapshot from a month ago.
I assume he expected people to not know how Amazon works, so this would look really impressive to someone who doesn't know anything.

Is anything from DC selling well at all?

>this would look really impressive to someone who doesn't know anything.
So his followers?

Why we care bout sales?
"Axed" Thing only exist in manga

Batman
Reprints of Alan Moore and Frank Miller works

Yes

Kek

>Why we care bout sales?
Because they're what keeps the medium alive?
>"Axed" Thing only exist in manga
This has to be bait.

This industry has bigger things to worry about like getting completely bodied by manga sales

>g-go woke go b-broke!

See

It's funny to me how Americans love the free market but at the same time feel a need to defend "American produce."

If you want good American comics, boycott comics and get into manga instead. That way American comics will have to adapt or perish.

And either option is better than what we're getting.

Only 40 year old white men buy comic books and graphic novels. It's still dying industry no matter which nigger or gay they pander to. It's literally majorly supported by old and retiree white people.

American children to young adults prefer video games and watching other people play video games for entertainment.

People only like the free market when it panders to them.

cant businesses fudge amazong sales anyway? there was a book on this called "the day the kindle died" but good luck finding a copy anywhere

When the whole class is failing, having the highest F still makes you a failure

Taylor is such a sleazy, manipulative faggot. In reality, his Superman is on the bottom of Top 50 list. I too can cherrypick one supplier where some book accidentally sells well.

>gayfornians buying comics
>weird collectors buying those
>gay community giving those comics as presents or putting them deep in a library
You know it's true

hahahahhhaa you are fucking pathetic

GO WOKE GET BROKE LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

All they talk about on the CBR forums is Jon’s sexuality and how he can be a better LGBT icon. This book is a joke.

People are fine with gay characters. They aren't fine with Superman, or even someone wearing the Superman logo being gay.

Not being in the top 50 doesn't mean it's not doing well.

He unironically could've been if he was allowed to grow up and discover his bisexuality on his own.

When were the Tweets made?

>if he was allowed to grow up and discover his bisexuality on his own

That's what happened in Taylor's book.

Considering the #50 comic sells like 18k units in a month, that's pretty fucking bad.
I won't even bother mentioning TPB sales since superhero comics are lucky to hit fucking 5k sales a month when it comes to those.

>Those cape sales
Fucking yikes.
And this was WITH the boost from The Batman.

The OP screenshot says March 9th.

TOM TAYLOR YOU ARE MY HERO
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

NOW MAKE NIGHTWING GAY IN ISSUE #100

Or how about we keep Superman’s only son straight and normal? Or is that too controversial in this day and age?

Just do what I did and stop reading/caring after the Tomasi-Gleason run

He can bisexual and it can be done well.

But he absolutely cannot be by hack writers who can’t even write a flamboyant gay character with nuance.

There is no such thing as bisexual in comics.
If you fuck the opposite sex then you're gay.
No amount of "CAN FUCK WHO I WANT" like Julie Power did is going to change that.
And the queers they are hoping to woo with that shit will have an absolute fit.
Even though straights who they can "turn" or "stoop to using them" pops their corks.

Big homophobe energy in this post

Oh no! Not a homophobe! Quick! Somebody call the faggot police from twitter!

if you have to go "#1 in a super limited panel" then it's a definite proof you aren't happy with your stuff.
