I’ve discovered that Diamond have not counted what they believe to be discounted orders on C&A, so the book has landed 12th in the charts instead of #1. Diamond did this because of online fuss…

[...] Like everyone else, I received Entertainment Weekly senior editor Thom Geier’s mass-emailed response to the controversy surrounding his magazine’s listing of Platinum Studios’ Cowboys & Aliens graphic novel as the “top-selling” book in its January 12 issue, relying on Midtown Studios’ online charts but not noticing that the book was a free giveaway.

Don’t have it in front of me so I’m not sure where, though. As for Rosenberg, he came up with the concept, so it’s akin to “Stan Lee Presents…” or the more ridiculous credit Grant Morrison received on several of DC’s OYL launches.
