Archie comics has gained a renaissance after going through low sales throughout the 80's,90s and 2000s all thanks to the the leadership of current CEO Jon Goldwater.
Archie Comics' average monthly sales are still lower than they were in the '80s, '90s, and from 2000-2009.
So if you want to spin those statistics under the heading of "renaissance", then yeah whatever, I guess.
ALL comic sales are much lower than the past decades.
For instance, there was a time when Marvel comics selling 150,000 issues in a month would be cancelled. Now, that would be the #1 or #2 selling title across all companies.
So you can't really compare numbers to those time periods, you'd have to look at how they did vs all the other companies - where did they rank in sales for the month, and if those relative numbers improved.
