Many of you like this title and I have them myself but you would think Atom or Hawkman could have been a better choice to devote a 5 or 6 volume run. This of course is my opinion. Did sales justify the publication decision?

Comichron.com has a lot of it here:http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales.htmlHere's the page with Hawkman #1 (estimated sales were 3,309)http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2000/2000-07.html...and the Atom #1 (3,064):http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2001/2001-05.htmlAlso, you can use the Wayback Machine to find old icv2 pages going back to 2001 (it's really hunt-and-peck, however). Here's an example from 2001:http://web.archive.org/web/20011205064754/http://www.icv2.com/articles/indepth/913.html

I believe all of the Schwartz titles were as good as DC Silver Age got ... especially with Kane and Anderson art!
