I know a few people here showed some links to older info in the past, but i stupidly did not bookmark them.StarBrand wrote:Anyone ever hear any print-run info on Future Comics issues?
Im pretty sure that they were tiny enough to assume 5,000ish mark was all.
They were printing when Marvel were just getting back in the groove and all indy print runs were very very small.
I read in previews that they were going to move towards graphic novel story arc format and leave the single issue format alone, but then they just stopped.

Finally got around to researching this. Some of the earlier Future issues don't seem to be listed at comichron. Were those early Future issues only carried through Future's website, and thus the sales numbers not available?
Here's what I've been able to find at comichron.
Future Print-Runs:
Deathmask
1 4,131
2 3,223
3 2,730
Freemind
6 2,462
7 2,307
Metallix
0 2,247
4 2,825
5 2,542
6 2,321

Thanks. So, those are likely the only print-run numbers available on Future. They likely sold additional copies on their website as well.magnusr wrote:I thought it was like that for quite a while. Their idea was to skip the middle-men. After a while they started doing traditional sales on top of their own sales.StarBrand wrote:Were those early Future issues only carried through Future's website
