No new issue of INFINITE CRISIS was released in February, but the book keeps showing significant re-order activity. Issues #1 to #4 sold an additional 3,469, 4,718, 15,030 and 16,525 copies, respectively.

Given that ICv2.com's estimates are always a wee bit on the low side, it's safe to say that issue #4 has broken the 200K barrier -- which may well make INFINITE CRISIS the first title since the mid-nineties to generate sales of more than 200,000 in the direct market with four consecutive issues. Needless to say, it's a big whopping success.
