The seemingly forever running series came in at #2 overall behind <em>Batman<\/em>, with an estimated 92,014 in sales.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i60.tinypic.com\/bezt4i.png\" width=\"695\" height=\"475\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So as a lantern fan, you probably already knew that <em>Green Lantern <\/em>and <em>Red Lanterns <\/em>combined in February for their respective issue #28. So while the book sold almost 50,000 (which was good enough to seat them at #25 overall), the real question is whether the struggling <em>Red Lanterns <\/em>book will see an increase in sales after the shared story. Its definitely worth mentioning that\u00a0<em><\/em>last month&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Green Lantern #27<\/em> came in just a spot below and about a thousand sales less, so I&#8217;m sure Venditti and DC are quite happy for that increase. Must have been those folks only reading\u00a0<em><\/em>about Dex Starr finally picking up a Hal Jordan book.<\/p>\n<p><em>Earth 2 #20 <\/em>cracked the top 50 in sales, coming in at #47 with 35,732 estimated sold.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.tinypic.com\/ouo3r5.png\" width=\"695\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Justice League 3000 #3 <\/em>saw a massive drop in ranking in February, falling from 34 to 57, but only losing about a thousand in estimated sales (February&#8217;s sales were about 33,308). While\u00a0<em>Green Lantern Corps\u00a0<\/em><em>#28\u00a0<\/em>is at the naughty 69 in ranking and estimated sales of 29,142, both of which are down from last month.\u00a0<em>Green Lantern: New Guardians <\/em><em>#28 <\/em>is just spots below that at 71 with 27,212 in estimated sales. At 93 overall is <em>Injustice Year Two 2<\/em> with 22,703 in estimated sales.
