I have it on good authority that most if not all of Bendis' books sell in the mid 60s these days which is a far cry from his Avengers days. those were over 100 K, right? Eh why am I bothering- you wouldn't admit it if I was right, any way...
I just did our sales analysis for Editorial yesterday, so I can tell you definitively and without reservation that your good authority is full of crap.
