Since I've been correct many times on this front,I will remind that the Diamond numbers are initial pre-orders / numbers of copies shipped in that month, and does not necessarily equate to sales.

Moreover, I think Marvel's "remainder blowout" strategy could be harming their first run sales. I think the average collector just mildly interested in an expensive book is waiting for the coming-soon 50-70 percent off sale. If I wasn't buying the variant Masterwork editions and wished to remain a completist, I'd likely follow the same course.
