November sales figures are in
Here we are, folks:
http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/18918.html
Chaos War: Alpha Flight sold an estimated 17,164 copies, coming in at #107 for the month. Which... well, it's not very good. It's not horrible, though! Not enough to warrant an ongoing any time soon, but certainly worth revisiting with more one-shots and the like, I'd say. Also, it was awesome, which is really what matters at the end of the day.
If we go by just Marvel comics it was ranked #55, yeah not very good sadly.

They have got to get a better idea of what their readers are after... OTOH, if they'd released less, AF wouldn't be one of them.
Or is that figures for a longer period?

Really? They seemed to have sold out in most places, but then again...The comic stores may not have ordered very many to begin with.

ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
I thought that I would have difficulty finding it when I went to the comic shop across the street, either because they didn't order enough or it went like hotcakes. Well, I found it...on the very bottom shelf of the 'new' wall. It was very hard to see and one of the few titles that wasn't placed in alphabetical order. There were a ton of copies left either.
When I took it up to the register the guy behind the counter snickered when he saw what I was buying...
...I really hate that place.
Where are we going, and why are we in this hand-basket??
Eff them. I hate people like that. Seriously. You're bringing them business. If they had a manager, I'd report them, say that they made you feel uncomfortable and unwanted.
Nail their ass to the wall.
Damn, that's some ANGRY ALPHA FLIGHT ANGRY LOVE there... awesome!
Sad to say, but the guy was the owner. I broke my rule about going in there just to get the comic (it's a long story, and involved buying magic cards), but am now aware of the fact that any further business he could offer is now going to the guy that has his store about fifteen miles away.
The one-shot was awesome, and certainly took the sting out of the experience.

Gaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhh! Shiest like that chaps my hide, so to speak. During these economic times the ungrateful frakkin' bass-turd should be thankful that you're spending money in his store.
Yeah! I am pumped right now. Gonna read this Comic and then start a canadian riot!

I haven't been picking up the Chaos War one-shots nor the main series. I forgot to reserve a copy of AF and they were out. They are usually pretty good on their ordering and they stated they had more people reserving the X-Men and Avengers one-shots than Chaos War itself. But it seems like many people might have picked up Alpha on name only in my LCS, moreso than those who bought Chaos War itself as they still had copies of that.
I couldn't get it, it was sold out wherever I called or emailed. I'm waiting on place two hours away to get more orders.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Live it.
If ye lived in the US, I'd send you a copy. I picked up three copies, myself.
That is a little disappointing.
I enjoyed the one shot. I hope we get more.
