    Default Bleeding Cool, The Number One Magazine In Comic Stores - For The Second Month

    Bleeding Cool Magazine #0 was published this summer, a slim volume for $1.49, it was the best selling magazine in comic stores that month.

    Bleeding Cool Magazine #1 came out in November. $4.99 and fatter, could it still perform as well? It seems so, it was the best selling magazine in that month as well. Selling almost twice as many copies as DC Nation #2.

    A mixture of the Top 100 Power List, the Alan Moore interview, Tim Burton's tour of the Frankenweenie sets and even a mini-price guide seem to have done the trick. But will we be able to do the same for issue #2, out the ninth of January 2013? Well, it is an All-Ages issues with Adventure Time on the cover...?* but on the inside as well as the second part of the Alan Moore interview, ?*Brendon's Jim Henson stuff and an animation class from the makers of Wreck-It Ralph, you'll find Have I Got Feuds For You, a look at all the backbiting in the comics industry, by me.

    Apart from that going on this week, of course. Save that for the second print!

    Congrats sir.

    Though, there isn't really much competition out there as far as magazines someone would buy at a comic store...

    It's a bit like being the top-selling comic book on newsstands: not so many customers as in olden days, and even less competition. Good to see someone pulling it off, of course.

    Yes it is.

    I used to see it on the shelves at my LCS in NYC.

    You just have to ask your comic store to get it in.

    Are those index numbers the same as for the comics and books charts? Because if they are, and I've remembered my high school algebra right, sales have dropped over 50% between issues. That should be your headline. Retailers show massive lack of confidence in Bleeding Cool Magazine after getting a chance to see it. At this rate of decrease, it'll be cancelled soon.
