Comic sales in September demonstrate just how dramatic the "Rebirth" impact on DC Comics sales has been.  A year ago, in September 2015, there were just six DC titles with sales over 50,000 copies (see "Top 300 Comics--September 2015").  In September 2016, one year later, there were 38 DC issues with sales over 50,000 copies (see "Top 300 Comics--September 2016").

We also took a look at sales of DC comics in September of 2011, the first month of the "New 52" relaunch.  That month, there were 27 DC titles with sales over 50,000 copies.

To summarize:

Year	DCs Over 50,000
2016	38
2015	6
2011	27

The increase in the number of DCs selling over 50,000 copies this September vs. a year ago is dramatic, but perhaps not that meaningful because DC sales a year ago were at such a low ebb.  But the comparison to the "New 52" launch month is more significant; a lot more DCs are selling well than were selling well during DCs last relaunch.  Overall a very positive sign for DC and the strength of the "Rebirth" initiative.
