How does Young Animal sell? I have to admit I really haven't heard much good buzz about the books in that line at all. Not that I've heard anything bad either, it just seems like the books aren't being read by many people at all.
I'm about to go home, but in March 2017:

101 94 Doom Patrol 5 $3.99 DC 24,693
190 191 Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye 6 $3.99 DC 11,558

So, uh, not great?

Okay since I'm home and have a bit of time, here's every Young Animal title for March (Shade didn't have an issue, but sold less than Cave Carson in February):
code:
101	94	Doom Patrol	5	$3.99	DC	24,693
162	161	Mother Panic	4	$3.99	DC	
190	191	Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye	6	$3.99	DC	11,558
For a probably fair comparison, here's Vertigo books:
code:
200	202	Savage Things	1	$3.99	DC	10,568
205	210	Astro City	42	$3.99	DC	9,481
241	261	Lucifer	16	$3.99	DC	6,917
259	282	Lost Boys	6	$3.99	DC	6,217
272	294	Everafter From The Pages of Fables	7	$3.99	DC	5,819
So if they're expecting them to sell similarly to Vertigo titles, they're doing well, but I have no idea what DC's expectations are for the YA line.

I've never been, but I have a friend from there who loves it, but is absolutely appalled by the politics.

Being an Indianan, I assume it would still be a big improvement for you.

Excuse me, Mr. Coloring Book Author, but I really need to ask you what ought to be a pretty easy question: Have you ever, in fact, seen a Ghostbusters movie? Either of them?

I'm annoyed that they didn't even put the character names in the order they appear.

How old are Iceman and Kitty now? mid-30s for Iceman and mid-20s for Kitty?

Iceman is eternally not-quite-30 and Kitty is eternally early-to-mid-20s.

Frank Miller's All-Star Batman and Robin is something you should read. It is the most insane Batman story ever written and possibly an actual 11 issue visual interpretation of one man's mental breakdown.

That Neal Adams series is more insane imo

Every supermarket, pharmacy, and department store has a newsstand. Retail in the US might be dying, but it's a slow death with a long way to go (and will probably just contract to a more appropriate level)

As for what we were doing in 1994: speculating. Why, I see upwards of three college educations funded just on those two pages!

Apparently Diamond upgraded their packing facility and retailers were shocked!

Yes, I clicked a clickbaity title, but Comics Beat is generally pretty solid.

Frank Miller's Daredevil

This one's questionable since it definitely got to a point where Mazzuchelli was really doing the heavy lifting on the art. I wish I could find those penciled pages from that run.

Do you mean Klaus Jansen? Because Mazzucchelli was only involved with Born Again, and got full art credit. The last year or so of Miller's first Daredevil run does have an increasingly heavy contribution from Jansen though.

poo poo, yes, Jansen.
