The Flash Sales: March 2013 — with comparisons

[Calazans]

I'm a bit worried with these numbers. The Flash is not selling so well as it should. I hope DC won't try something extreme to make this title sells so well as it did one year ago.

"The book keeps sliding down the chart."

It's still selling way better than 5 years or, even better, 10 years ago. That's good. Not enough, but good.

I would be interested to see how Volume 1 (Move Forward) sold in Hardcover & Tpb....depending on how DC views sales numbers for their collections, maybe they are pleased.

DC seems to be happy with these sales numbers though, because Manapul is still the writer/artist. Considering the number of creative changes on other titles....The Flash must be making "higher-ups" happy.
