X-O Manowar #5 Hits 24,000 Orders So Far

X-O Manowar launched in the marketplace in a rather strong way for a license that many had thought was on the back burner, with a creative team that the kindest would not calle A-List from an independent publisher in the back of the back of the catalogue. With a market-busting 40,000 copies.

Some thought that the sales figures would rapidly drop, just over the four figures, if that. But it seems, that hasn't happened. And issue 5 pre-orders are currently at 24,000. Which, for any book in its position, are simply rather good.

It also has the return of Ninjak, 25 pages of story and a preview of Shadowman which might help (and push it over the 30 pages for $3.99 price point)

In a marketplace stil full of launches, cancellations and publisher collapses, I thought it was worth celebrating a success story half a year in.

Well done folks.
