I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine; I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine

Brian Scot Johnson has released his sales stats for May at Khepri.com here. Planet of the Capes came in at #2 and The Couriers at #6 in the Top Ten GN/TPB/HCs, and Demo #1 was the #1 comic sold in May. This is interesting to me because it vindicates my worldview that backlist is a viable category, since our November 2003 comic and our January 2003 graphic novel were the #1 comic and #6 graphic novel sold by Khepri this May. BOO-yah!

Also, his YTD shows Couriers 02: Dirtbike Manifesto as the number one graphic novel, Couriers 01 at number four, Channel Zero at number five, and Channel Zero: Jennie One at number ten of the top ten graphic novels sold at Khepri this year.

Coincidentally, Loose Cannon #12 addresses the getting rid of the monthly comic book and even puts out there for all eternity Rob Snell's Super-Man-ga idea that I still cannot believe DC hasn't done yet. Instead of sending John Nee around to ask people what the secret is to this Japanese comic fad everyone seems to be talking about so much nowadays, all DC has to do is read that column from March 30, 2001 and follow the map I laid out. I wrote back then "Personally, I'm not sure why this hasn't been enacted already." and that's even more true three years later. That's a big bag of money waiting for my friends at DC.
