Dynamite Entertainment has successfully moved over 500,000 copies of its Ben 10 comic book series, covering the first five issues of the run. This sales milestone was achieved based on Final Order Cutoff orders for the licensed series.

The 500,000-copy figure represents the total units moved for issues 1 through 5 of the series. This performance is based on data verified through Final Order Cutoff metrics.
