Comics Beat Says Do Not Panic
The latest "DC Comics Month-to-Month Sales" column by Marc-Oliver Frisch at comicsbeat.com is not nearly as pessimistic about recent Booster Gold sales as I was last week.
Comics Beat notes the accelerating month-to-month decrease in sales of 1.5% for July, 2.5% for August, and 3.1% for August, but attributes it to "standard attrition." Their numbers also provide a good comparison against other sinking titles like Power Girl and Red Robin, other middling books showing similar sales trends. So maybe Booster shouldn't be taking the slumping sales personally.
It's also worth remembering that no matter what we fear, Booster Gold is still selling many, many more issues than Batman Confidential, Jonah Hex, and R.E.B.E.L.S., none of which DC seems prepared to axe just yet.
