Boom Studio's Bravest Warriorshttp://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/05/12/ ... oot-crate/

So Secret Wars might not be the top seller

That's impressive then if the 500,000 sales figure Marvel keeps saying is true for Secret Wars #1. I was sure the would be a Loot Crate bump to reach that level of sales.

There is a variant cover for Secret Wars #1 sketch cover for people that ordered the first three Comic Con Boxes and a variant cover of another issue (or cover) in the second Comic Con Box. so that might inflate the sales some too.

Yeah i saw that to but i doubt Comic Con Box had the subscriber base Loot Crate does (at least not yet). I wonder how many people are subscribed to that box?

On a related note, with all of these retailer variants being offered now days, is it noted in the monthly sales how many issues sold are these retailer variants? I assume they're counted as part of the regular sales even though the retailer has to put the money up front to commission the art for the cover.

Typically variant covers are lumped in with the regular cover in the sales data. If the variant cover has a different cover price, it gets listed individually.
