This was an interesting point:
You’ve got an outright kids’ comic in Franklin Richards. Mid-list marvel Nova, an old school space opera, beats out the Ultimate line and even Wolverine (who wasn’t top 10). It’s been a long time since the newsstand was the primary driver for comics, but when you look at how different the newsstand sales chart is, you have to wonder how the balance of power would change if the newsstand could ever be expanded. You also might look to the slight evidence of diversity (Franklin Richards, Nova) in newsstand sales when seeing Marvel experiment with genres with their digital comics - another mass audience endeavor.

These were the only books I read from that list, Dark Tower sold pretty well considering it's not the typical Superhero fare Marvel puts out.
