For IDW 9k sales isn't really that bad lol.
Also completely forgets digital comic sales. which brings in typically a larger profit per issue sold, and heck it's how I've bought every GI Joe comic in the past three years. But they would most likely be bringing in a couple thousand more sales on the digital front.
Digital also has helped comic book companies in that it brings in continued revenue on books, where as with physical books you sold only a certain amount of copies of the floppies and then that was it, you typically never sold anymore of that issue ever and would depend on TPB sales to maybe dig up some revenue later.
Now with digital, those books still sell for years later with that money going to the publisher. If you find an old copy on a shelf in a comic book shop, that makes the publisher no money as it was already bought long ago by that store, but you go online and buy that comic digital, the publisher just made some money.

IDW would cancel this except they are obligated to Hasbro to keep publishing it until their license expires or Hama retires. And I keenly expect 300 to be the end. Hama is 72 and has clearly lost interest.
Art quality has nothing to do with sales, even at it's low points ARAH has had some amazing artists, they aren't gonna throw big names on the book but there is plenty of great unknown talent that moves around. As with lower selling books artists come and go all the time, different art styles. Art is also subjective, so many folks really were in love with Gallant yet I never understood why, I think he's awful
