Star Wars Adventures: Destroyer Down (mini-series)

The Star Wars Adventures: Destroyer Down 3-issue mini-series is a reprint of the Loot Crate exclusive original graphic novel.  Individual issues of the mini-series sold surprisingly well considering the ample copies of the graphic novel still found on eBay.  Star Wars Adventures #15 published in October 2018 sold an estimated 9,709 copies and Star Wars Adventures: Destroyer Down #1 sold a comparable estimated 9,733 copies.  Subsequent issues of the mini-series did decline with issue #2 selling an estimated 8,332 copies and issue #3 7,414 estimated copies.[1]  These numbers are not bad for a reprint title whose original source is still readily available for $10 or less.

Each issue in this mini-series has a standard cover and one retailer incentive cover initially released at a ratio of 1 for every 10 standard covers.  The artwork used for the standard cover of issue #1 is the same used on the graphic novel.
