Rebirth titles are enjoying a 29 percent higher lift than the company’s previous relaunch in 2011, DC COMICS – THE NEW 52, with the top 10 titles being a combination of core classics, new titles and some surprises—including the top-selling book HARLEY QUINN #1, with more than 400,000 copies shipped.
Outstanding Mayo Report this month! Great job John and Sam. You guys always come up with some interesting angles and ways to look at the numbers. Especially enjoyed the extended Power Ranger discussion. Thanks for taking the time to put together a great podcast.

that's a big number returnable or not - seems like a successful line-wide reboot to me so far but I guess we'll know more after the honeymoon period of first trade story arcs complete so late 2016/early 2017?

And if DC has to do this sort of retooling again within the next five years.

Oh, I pray they don't feel the need to do that. I would like to see them maintain a larger share of the sales for the foreseeable future. If they can just differentiate themselves from Marvel's model long enough. I hope it succeeds.
Amazing Spidey 16 at rank 4 with 185k units is great for Marvel... until you look and see #17 falling back to rank 32 with under 75k units. I wonder how many variants #16 had along with other shenanigans that Marvel did to get #16 that high in ranking.
In regards to Marvel Now 2: Now Harder, these books I can see being relaunched even though they were listed as continuing:
Black Widow 6 - 24,106 units
Captain America Sam Wilson 12 - 30,479 units
Totally Awesome Hulk 9 (July) - 26,936 units
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur 10 - 11,862 units
Ms. Marvel 10 - 29,395 units
Patsy Walker aka Hellcat 9 - 10,486 units
Power man & iron fist 7 - 24,163 units
Silk 11 - 21,833 units
Silver Surfer 6 - 18,991 units
Spider-Man 2099 14 - 21,908 units
Spider-Woman 10 - 19,251 units
Squadron Supreme 10 - 19,119 units
Thunderbolts 4 - 18,128 units
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl 11 - 13,872 units

This makes sense especially given Dan Slott's plea to retailers asking them to increase their orders for Dead No More: Clone Conspiracy #1 before FOC - http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sp4afa.
