'Cos you were worried it would tank, wouldn't you? Which reminds me, I assume you've seen that that new Brian Wilson thing is coming out after all?
I was thinking specifically in terms of recent works - not through any particular belief that it's a new development in the field or anything, just because those two had come out so close together, and were both such clear Graphic Novel Of The Year contenders, except for the whole 'not being novels' bit. But yes, I'd go with that 'best single issue' bit, definitely. Even if I do increasingly fear that Morrison's at least temporarily lost it, that Superman story was quite a last hurrah.
As for the petition - I've not followed all the ins and outs you detail, but I am aware of it. The best response I've seen is the one in the Page 45 mailshot, have you encountered that?
Still, better than Black Summer numbers? That's going some. Doesn't that mean it's basically the bestselling non-Big Four, non-licensed title except The Boys, which started at DC and so is cheating?
