Yep folks, the success continues! But remember from here you can only go down...
Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18939 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Superman Rebirth gets third printing, DCU Rebirth a 4th.
And with the Rebirth Pre orders still topping out over Marvel thus far it looks like Rebirth is still holding the success down for the moment. It still remains to be seen whether they can keep this level of attention and interest up over 6 months to a year though.
My only fear is the by-monthly schedule. Not because I believe it is difficult to be kept (which it is) but because I am afraid about its effect on the stories, the difference between artists in the middle of a story is definitely off-putting and might make the stories look cheap Ex. Its gonna be quite a shock to get used to Tyler Kirkham after Patrick Zircher's first 2 Action issues.
Awesome news! Fingers crossed the books maintain quality, I've found all of them to be pretty solid so far, pretty confident if they maintain quality sales will be strong. Action comics 958 and detective 935 got a 2nd printing too.

There might already be signs of strain on keeping it, Jorge Jiminez is doing the filler issue after the first arc of Superman so its effects can be seen. You're not wrong about artists, it's what I fear as well. What if Segovia and Kirkham, two good artists in their own right, don't contrast well with Zircher's art style? I know what you mean about Kirkham, his art looks completely tonally different to that of Zircher's.

I think Jiminez might be in to promote Super-Sons which makes sense.
Exactly.
@squalleon: He could be and I don't mind it so much because I love Jiminez' artwork, it's kinetic and when applied to Superman comics has a very...swooshing effect. That's a dumb word to describe it I know but it's what I think of when I see his art. Zircher's got his own sense of style too.

I understand. His character's look like they are caught on the move.
DC is going even better then before. Not that they were bad or anything they were awesome but now they are bringing best of both worlds for the most part. While Marvel Post-Secret Wars is sooooooo bad.

Yeah that's it exactly, both in the story, character moments and action.
