DC’s ‘New 52’ Getting Huge Initial Launch Orders. JLA #1 Past 200,000.
Initial orders and copies sold aren’t the same. Initial orders of enormous flagship titles aren’t indicative of how smaller titles of that publisher will sell, nor if the flagship will sustain the orders after the hype. Even with that in mind, I’m impressed at the initial orders for DC’s ‘New 52’ titles.

Video: DC Releases ‘New 52’ Commercial. This Won’t Work.
Putting aside any sort of snark, I cannot fathom this DC commercial for their ‘New 52’ persuading anyone who doesn’t read comic books to come check out their reboot-refresh-tabula-close-t0-rasa bullshit. I really can’t. It’s a cheese vomit concoction.
