IDW have said AHM has done well, but to my knowledge, they've not released sales data. Most laypersons such as we are going off of Diamond's monthly sales estimates.

AHM 1 started out at around 15-something thousand, 1 copy less than Devastation 1. The number steadily dropped to the high 10,000s, but has recently picked up to over 12,000 (I think that's partly to do with increased interest in all-things-Transformers in the lead up to Revenge of the Fallen).

Yep, on the barcode tab. When right up until Revalation but wasn't on any spotlights. AHM was supposed to jump forward by like, 8 issues and start off at like #30, with Max Dinos and another mini filling in the gap.

When the first AHM shipped without the sub numbering Ryall stated it was a printing error, same with the second and third issue. Then he finally revealed he had no plans to continue the sub-numbering. Which is why many people started screaming AHM was a clear reboot.

Not having the subnumbering on AHM I don't really have a problem with. Reboot or not, the storyline is clearly different than the -Ations. It's not having the numbering on Maximun Dinobots and Revelation that pisses me off.
