Well it looks like this series is enjoying a steady set of sales now.
Last I looked issue #5 was recuperating from the disastrous results issue #4 had, jumping to 148th place with 13,750 issues sold.
The latest results for issue #6
are out, and it's only lost a little bit of sales...coming in at 172th place with 12,524 issues sold.
This is great in that the see-saw effect we've been seeing before now seems to be dissipating.
I'm sure IDW is happy about this because comic book retailers HATE it when a series does that.
Such retailers have to rely on a steady set of numbers in order to anticipate what to spend their cash flow (money reserved for purchases) on. This money is limited and has to be used wisely.
If they can't do this then they face risk commonly associated with too much of one comic left over that nobody wants, and too little of another that everybody asks for.
We'll see with issue #7 how things temper out though.
