Spawn averages about 35k per month (pre-covid numbers). I would estimate about 10,000 cover Bs. Maybe 12k if enough speculators got in orders prior to FOC.
Unknown has around 8k I think… after they canceled people’s pre-orders…

The spawn cover B numbers will be higher then your typical B cover (of a 3 cover book) because it’s typically the McFarlane cover. I know some shops that just order the McFarlane.
That’s not entirely true. I know Tony reads. I read. Poyo reads. Alana reads. Drog reads. OCGuy reads. A lot of our new friends read. You read…it is a dying breed, but we’re still here.

I read all my comics. As I get them in the mail, they get added to the read boxes. Now that I have them all cataloged online, I can quickly research a past issue, confirm I got it, and pull it out to read again.

I got three. Spawn was what got me back into comics after a very brief break. Spawn and the Maxx. I took a year off from comics in 1991 when I was doing the whole college selection and trying to graduate high school.
I do both. I read a hell of a lot of comics, tonight for example I read about 20 books at the shop. I do read a lot of moderns but love reading older horror stuff especially. I like cheesy old horror comics. In general, I think more people have jumped on the spec train, especially since the cover crisis.

20 comics at the shop? Better have spoilers.
You just pull up a chair and read everything in the shop? Ha.
I don’t read comics I read Russian malware sites that just happen to have every comic as Poyo would put it.
I actually went the whole day without buying a comic yesterday…mostly thanks to MCS and their inflated price of Spawn 309B.
I think it’s been 2 weeks!
Today I’ll be back at it.
Bad, very bad. Don’t support such places… and last I checked that site was based out of the Philippines I think…
Me too… and the day prior to yesterday and the day prior to that day… My last online purchase was like last week probably… I don’t buy that much anymore, I just tell you people what to buy…
No comics at all for 2 weeks? Or just from MCS?
None at all for 2 weeks would be impressive.
No…2 weeks straight I purchased at least one comic every day. Spent $100s online. Finally moving some and paying the investment off.
But had to slow it down a bit. But today is Wednesday…

Stopped at 3 stores this AM looking for Spawn 309 B. Got A and C, but all were either out or never got any B covers. Missed the boat.
Same went to 2lcs and no Spawn B covered they never got em or hid them. I know pretty much most of the wed crows as we see each other every week. And there had to be about 10 or more randoms in got Spawn and the 3 jokers book. I was happy for my main shop business lookin good. 2nd shop is off. They never had these as of 2 weeks ago around legends release and now they do.
EBAY BINS FOR MARVEL DC ETC. they only had cover C Spawn out but I seen large menila envelopes and usps envelopes that said image. This was my final stop to this store. They have increasingly showed their customers that any book that’s hot they will chase the dollar.
I must of got lucky. Snagged some before FOC on the Internet, and was able to pick up another copy at my LCS just now.
They may as well close their doors if their inventory is for online only.
