I read a good thread involving a Marvel editor on Twitter this morning - all the comics fans hand wringing about numbering and relaunching seems to come down to a) That new fans (and therefore stores) seem to find new #1s the easiest place to start with, regardless of whatever volume numbering, shadow numbering, or what have you are included, and b) The problem of getting more people to buy and read comics is much larger than numbering and new series.

Yeah good luck with that Marvel. On Bleeding Cool every week they have about 20 comic stores in the US email in their weekly sales numbers and DC has been hammering them every single month since Rebirth launched so about 2 years now.
Marvel ranks #1 on the Distrubutor charts for books shipped but I guess those numbers are inflated because they send out freebies to the stores that are included.
