Did Batman #1 Really Sell 500k Copies?!

by 09.22.2025

Matt Fraction’s Batman #1 is said to have sold 500k copies. Is this really true, and what does the blind bag gimmick that they employed have to do with this? Given the success of this venture, will this help bring readers back into comic shops, or will it just lead to another comic market crash like in the 90s?
