Comicrohn certainly has the pulse when it comes to the figures...

 

For anyone interested the write ups at icv2 and comicsbeat are quite good when they come out, and some of the comments can be interesting. They often offer an easy look at what's trending.

It will be interesting to see how big the drop off is with Outcast #2......

 

Isn't it more #3? If owners sold out of #1 they are going to order heavy on 2. Then if 2 sits on their shelf they will order lighter on 3.

 

3 is the real indicator. Those numbers aren't actual units sold but units sold to stores. Heck they could say that they sold 100,000 copies of a book and 75,000 are still sitting on shelves.

 

#3 will be the real indicator for Outcast. I'd even say the second issue after the first arc ends will be the moment of truth.

I think it settles in the 45,000 to 50,000 range. It's going to be a popular book imo. When I was at the LCS the other day, 4 of the 5 people that I spoke with liked it better than TWD though I personally like TWD better. I would expect this to be Image's 2nd or 3rd highest selling monthly. 2c

I liked it better than TWD #1 as well.

 

That being said, I can remember seeing TWD on the shelf at my LCS, flipping through a copy, and thinking that it was not that great and would be lucky to last a year. doh!:tonofbricks:

 

As far as Outcast #s, I see #2 in the 60,000 - 65,000 range since Kirkman is a known commodity and LCSs will likely only order 20% or so less. I can see #3 and then #4 dropping further into the 40,000 - 45,000 range and stabilizing before slowly rising again.
