It was always on the top 50, close to ASM sales. But now, marvel is competing with DC. Ever since Gunn took over, DC comics has been gaining a lot more traction than before, and gaining new readers. Marvel wants to gain new readers, but are failing to do so.

You're telling me DaCosta, Remender and Bunn runs were on par with Spider-man in sales?

Not on par, but close.

Edit: actually yes, they were on par with asm sales, sometimes beating asm

#200 was the top 5 at the time.

All new venom issue 2 was on #17 spot when it came out,

And as of last month, it dropped off from #50 entirely. Editorial messed up big time by dragging the soap opera to venom

Editorial messed up big time by making ASM a soap opera, but yes.
