I know I said a while back that I would start a sales thread if nobody else did - sorry it took me so long to actually do it!

These numbers come from ICv2.com (thanks to Abomb for directing me here)

IDW's top sellers for February 2010:

1) G.I. Joe Origins #12 (12,312 copies sold)
2) Transformers #4 (12,221)
3) G.I. Joe Cobra II #2 (11,121)
4) Angel #30 (11,044)
5) G.I. Joe Operation Hiss #1 (10,140)
6) TF Bumblebee #3 (8,537)

*Keep in mind that the main Joe title wasn't released in Feb

If you'd like to see all the sales numbers for the reboot so far, check out Phil's board or Abomb's spreadheet (links to both on the "self-moderating" thread) but I'm not going to repost all of those numbers here.

It's sad to see the Joe numbers this low compared to where they were last year at this time, but on the upside it's doing very well in comparison with the other IDW titles, which means that IDW should have every reason to keep them coming in mass (no pun intended) quantity - if I get to buy a Joe book every week, I'm happy! (even if I do gripe about some of them )

Last Stand of the Wreckers #2 was IDW's 11th highest seller for Feb with 5,744 copies sold. It was lower on the list than the other TF books thanks to another Angel title, Dr. Who, Star Trek, and Ghostbusters, if I'm remembering right.

thats because a diamond truck crashed and all the comics were destroyed

GI Joe: Origins is IDW's the top selling comic? Then why does "Transformers" have the top spot on the forum page and you have to go halfway down to get to GI Joe???

I think we should have at LEAST equal billing at the top of the forum page!!!!

yep, good points. TF has over 100,000 posts (!) compared to the 8,000 posts over here.

I did notice that TF has their own fan art section. I wonder if a Joe fan art section was set up if that would attract more Joe fans to the boards over here...

I'm not sure how long TF has been here, but even so, if IDW had both Joe and TF for the same amount of time there would still be way more posts on the TF board than ours - it seems like they get hundreds of posts for every issue while we are doing good if we get 20 comments on an issue. Yeah, I'm kinda jealous of the happening TF board, I admit it

And we used to be right beneath the TF but the "titles" section was recently moved beneath the "miscellaneous" section. Of course TF has their own section (how come there's not an envious emoticon?) so this didn't affect them.

Mom and Dad, why do the Transformers get their own room and we have to share with Angel and Star Trek? -gripe, gripe-

I don't usually post about numbers, and I'm not really going to do so here in any concrete way as it's actually privileged information.

I will say this. Numbers on G.I. Joe and Transformers are both quite healthy. Which makes me remarkably happy.
