6 months: -11.1%
1 year : -14.1%
For the first time since January 2005, DC failed to sell in excess of 100,000 units with any of its direct market releases in February, with not much on the horizon to replace the publisher’s lapsed 100K+ sales juggernauts.
But Justice is not to blame for that, of course. There’s been a noticeable decline over the last six months, but for a bi-monthly twelve-issue series completely detached from current continuity, the book is still doing perfectly well.

6 months: -20.3%
The book is in a slow decline, but nothing to be worried about. Correction regarding last month’s column: Week 35 didn’t ship with a variant cover edition — it was solicited with one, but the variant edition was later canceled. Given that it was a 1-in-10 variant, it might still explain the sales increase, however, even if it never shipped.

Sales are bottoming out very quickly and both previous issues made the chart again in February (#2 sold another 6,279 units, #1 another 1,888), suggesting that retailers have a lot of confidence in the book’s performance. As with the two previous issues, there was a 1-in-10 variant cover edition.

High-profile regular writer Grant Morrison returned to the book in February, following a four-issue stint by a fill-in creative team. While sales have recovered somewhat, they’re not quite where they used to be. Of course, popular regular artist Andy Kubert won’t be back until issue #664, so we won’t know for sure whether the filler issues hurt the book until next month.

Speaking of damage control, Action Comics #846 was the third part of a six-issue storyline which now won’t be continued until June’s issue #851. Issues #847 to 850, you guessed it, will now contain fill-in stories, in order to give artist Adam Kubert enough time to finish the remaining three issues of his arc. It’s not quite as drastic as in the case of Wonder Woman, but still a departure from what the audience has come to expect.
The book’s sales continue to be decent but underwhelming, meanwhile, given the high-profile creative team.

Issue #9 was the debut of new writer Marc Guggenheim. The decline accelerates again, suggesting that retailers don’t have much confidence in the creative change. The numbers are now back in the upper range of what the book’s previous incarnation used to shift.
