I would be interested in knowing if each individual comic has to pull it's own weight to keep from being cancelled. Or if a mildly successful book could piggyback on a more successful book. As long as a certain overall profit margin is happening within the franchise. I wonder how low sales would need to be before losing money? I think IDW has the imaginary line drawn but keeps it private, understandably. But if Robotanimals is any guideline than it seems 5,000 in sales is still acceptable. Who wouldn't love to sell five thousand of a book. It's 5000 more sales in a month you wouldn't normally have.
