How well -did- the trades actually sell? I never got the impression that its longevity was due to trade sales, but that it was more of a critical darling that stayed around longer than its actual sales would have indicated.


I would venture a guess it was probably a bit of both. DC has been -- before recently, anyway -- more willing to take the occasional risk and ignore the low sales, but if the stuff just wasn't selling, there's probably only so much effort they'd put into it.
