DD #2 sank horribly to #32 with 40K sold. that's around pre-Shadowland levels if I'm not mistaken. This book deserves so much better than this.

Uncanny X-Force continues to hold on strong (yay!). 50K

Punisher #1 debuted at #25 with 44K.

Ultimate Fallout sold that well? I'm shocked.

I'm not, the final issue of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man sold very well and there was promotion about Ultimate Comics: Fallout debuting Miles Morales.

Even though he was only in it for a page.

DD's sales are scaring me. Its such a damn good book, i feel like if sales keep slipping, Marvel's gona replace the creative team and i was really hoping we'd get a nice long run of Waid, Rivera and Martin.

I'm not, the final issue of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man sold very well and there was promotion about Ultimate Comics: Fallout debuting Miles Morales.

Valid point. I completely forgot about the promotion behind the "new" bi-racial spider-man.

You know, if Daredevil's sales keep slipping (although honestly, I'm not surprised by this drop in the slightest), I wouldn't mind seeing Waid adapting Black Widow in the title again, complete with a shared title marquee, for old time's sake. It would be a nice nostalgia nod, and I think her presence would generate a few extra sales each month. I also think Daredevil's upcoming spot in New Avengers could potentially give his own series a bump, so I'm not too worried just yet.
