The overall sales from Bookstores count as a big chunk. For a while Shonen Jump was selling 500,000 copies a month. I agree I think Quesada has done a great job specially bringing JM Strackenzky on Amazing Spider was great for until his recent arc, Whedon on Astonishing X-men, I haven't enjoyed a book that much in 10 + years. I think he is on the right track with small digest size comics for $7.95. Unfortunately Manga gives people more of a variety in what they choose to read. Just see how many chicks, not just any, hot chicks read manga. This site alone should be proof of that, and see how many read comic books, its a huge difference. What books do you read Zag-man?
