Re: February 2008 top-seller lists released

Any idea how New Avengers #38 was #2? It seems odd that it nearly beat X-Force.

Also, what does the asterisk * mean next to many issues in that Newsarama article?

Re: February 2008 top-seller lists released

I don't know the answer to the first question -- many things might influence sales, even the week of the month the book ships. The same exact issue shipping in Week 4 or 5 will sell, for obvious reasons, fewer copies than if it had shipped in Week 1. Not saying that was involved here, just that there are many factors.

Asterisks mean that the totals combine orders from more than one variant edition. I pull them out in my rankings.
