Well it looks like the second issue of this great series continues to go on strong.
For reference issue #1 had originally come in at 158th place, selling around 13,392 issues.
Issue #2 however lost some slight ground, dropping a few places to 162nd place and selling around 11,611 comics. That's good news.
I can see what you're asking now: why is any loss such good news? It's because the size of the loss is so small, meaning this thing is looking to have "legs", i.e. an audience that for the most part will stick around to see what's going on.
Let's compare the example with "Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters" issues #1 and #2. Between the two issues there was over a 75% loss in orders, with the second issue losing more than 40,000 orders from the first. That's huge! That's a loss that makes comic book retailers and publishers nervous because they now have something that may continue a lose orders month after month.
But when something has "legs", it means that the same amount of people (give or take a few percentage points) will continue to buy more issues, which means longer sales over the life of the comic book.
Such is the case with this great series, which to me is very good news in any shape or form.
