As you can see in the month of February Punisher came in on the sales charts for Marvel at #90 for all books released with 22,488 units sold. Punisher needs to continue to move up the ranks of the top 100 to continue running. If the book can somehow crack the top 50 books every month that would be huge for the series. Now, lets take a look at how the book did in the month of March...

As you can see Punisher moved up 8 spots in the month of March to #82 with a total of 22,318 units sold. This was actually a decrease in total units sold but other books dropped off in the month of March. As we know, April is a big month for Punisher with the Omega Effect crossover with Daredevil and Avenging Spider-Man. Can this huge event draw over some much needed Spidey and Daredevil readers to Punisher's world?
