M-O Frisch's monthly numbers are up. From the article:
Usually, DC Comics releases around 70 new comic books in a given month,
not counting reprints, magazines and titles published through its
Johnny DC imprint. In November 2006, the number rose to 88, due to a
slew of late-****pping issues from past months and new series launches
overlapping with the final issues of a number of failed titles. As a
result of the 25% increase in the publisher's output, there are some
drastic ****fts in the month's Top 300, as the additional books pushed
everything else down the chart, leaving room in the Top 100 for a measly
four books not from Marvel or DC, all of them by Dark Horse Comics.
That aside, DC's November line-up was fairly low-key, in terms of new
launches. Notable releases were the first issues of new ongoing title
Superman Confidential and limited series Guy Gardner: Collateral Damage
and Connor Hawke: Dragon?s Blood, as well as the one-shot special
Batman/The Spirit in its mainstream superhero line; the debut of the
Vertigo imprint's latest monthly addition, Crossing Midnight; and, from
WildStorm, the launch of limited series Astro City: The Dark Age/Book
Two
and Red Menace, ongoing WildStorm Universe titles The Midnighter and
StormWatch: PHD and the film adaptation Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

to the blog. *sigh*)
