These are some scary numbers. Initially, it was reported that DC was the winner for october, outpacing marvel in market and dollar share. However, after reading this I have realized that was a very superficial win.
3/4th's of the titles are selling less than they did a year ago, and nearly all wildstorm titles are getting destroyed (even Ex machina is in decline).
And I know the whole "they (wildstorm titles) sell well in trade" excuse, and I still think those drops are alarming. Wildstorm titles should sell at least generally well in singles.
Pay particular attention to those flash numbers. That really came back and kicked DC in the nuts.
