According to the CBGXtra site of direct market comics sales figures,(http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2009.html)and taking into account the returns we received on Flint Comix issue #1, our sell through number would land us as the number 153 of the top selling comics for March of 2009, and around 184 of the top sales for April.
Of course, you can't REALLY compare these number accurately, as the direct sales market is totally throughout North America and we only cover Michigan's Genesee County (seriously, not even that as we just put distribution points in some sections of the country with issue 2), and the direct market aims at mainstream comic readers, and not just ALL readers who happen to chance upon our free publication, BUT looking at the direct market, and considering how difficult it is for an independent publication to even be listed in Diamond Distributor's Preview catalog, I'd say we seem to be proving SOMETHING with every issue we produce.
Issue 3 is deadlined for the 15th of June. We're considering upping the print run on #4, as well as adding at least 4 pages to the product- in addition to starting a monthly printing schedule.
Toot, toot.
Sorry, just HAD to let somebody know...
WAKE UP!
