Blue Beetle, arguably the greatest book in the mainstream market, has been cancelled.

But The Boys, Garth Ennis’ effing The Boys sold 39,000 copies and is on the Top 100 list for Diamond’s Sales report for September.

A comic featuring an awesome supporting cast, witty humor, and a likeable superhero has been cancelled because no one was buying the book (around 12,000 sales).

And yet The Boys, a dumbass book filled with foul language, uberviolence, unlikeable characters, and superheroes acting like complete nimrods and jerks is still breaking the Top 100 sales.

(Important, but NSFW question Behind the cut!)

Can someone please explain to me why someone would prefer this:

To this?:
