Looks like DC would be wise to keep the Absolute universe rolling for a long time.

No kidding. Looks like a successful move on their part. I'm not surprised at what didn't make the list. Both of the big companies still flood the market with crap.

Interesting to see again! I always loved seeing the numbers and market share.

And it blows my mind, without Stan's soapbox, or Joe Quesada spitting down at DC, that fans in this generation are divided between companies...and that Marvel still reigns with an inferior product right now

Jimmy T

Wow...actually, Marvel was beat in every month except 1 tie by DC....but I didn't look close enough to see how claimed more of the top 10 numbers   over the other. Marvel very well likely could have still moved more units.
