On the Comicon.com/Pulse site there used to be regular features - DC Comic Sales - Month-to-Month and Marvel Comic Sales - Month-to-Month... they would list the titles and show how much they sold to comic shops over the course of their last 12 issues. It was always very interesting as you could see trends and what gimmicks or crossovers created bumps in sales and so forth. Also it gave a very good indication of which titles were in trouble. It seemed to stop running a year or so ago - does anyone know if this feature moved somewhere else or if another site charts comic sales in a similar way?

It was scrapped because they didn't want the world to see how popular John Byrne is.

It was moved over to The Beat, which is where most of the Pulse's interesting content now resides.
