Mr. Counterboy collected the surveys quite easily as its three-fold guide was quite easy to follow.

Some of them didn't even have to give it out to him as there was a Creed survey booth that held a box with a slot that can easily take in the foldable survey.

The daily purchases of entrants and goers went on as normal but with the added activity of taking their time to answer the unexpected activity sheet.

As for what would come out from their collected questions, they were all looking forward to finding out.

Unlike the expectant crowd of comic book consumers, the entire Creed Comics had other things to expect as the 'Inclusivity through Mail' initiative had some intangible benefits that were foretold by their little boss.

Whatever or however such esoteric benefits would develop, they may not care much as everyone was just looking forward to the results.

Survey expectations with having polls are something that always plucks people's curiosity after all.

-----

Creed Store wasn't the only one having the survey phenomenon as comic book customers from other comic book stores were lining up to their respective Creed Survey booth.

It would seem that aside from the Creed Buy trains, Creed Survey trains were popping up.

Even Big Two superfans were joining on with their disliked publisher's pop-up event as the 'complaint's section' was clearly calling out for them.

They answered no on liking Creed Comics while rating 1s to the week's releases. Like usual with trolls like them, they gave their top 3s and top 5s with their Big Two comic titles and characters.

Whatever small protests these Big Two fans were trying to cook up, it didn't change the fact that the event was gaining traction.

Viability was shown to the store owners and they had no problem with continuing such activity if ever Creed Comics need it again. It was just setting up a collection box and readying the survey papers after all.

Of course, they were quite accomodating to whatever Creed Comics would do as the company is the top reason for their stores gaining the traffic they presently have.

In any case, the new release day was another smashing hit for the Creed as issues were being bought from the shelves.

The Cybertronian Chronicles could very well be another flagship to the many flagships of the Creeds as its mechanic detailings are clearly levles higher than the ThunderCats.

Ever since the debut of Dragonball, everyone already noticed the discrepancy in artistic qualities.

Aside from refreshing stories, concepts, and characters, anyone familiar with customer psychology knew that the great sales of the Creed titles has something to do with its superior artworks.

Alexander Creed was just a cut above what others in the industry could dish out. His assistants also happen to follow that same consistency as they bring out the best of the comic art, color schemes, and line works.

Creed Comics employees had it easy but the emulating artists from the competitor companies had to step it up if they want catch up.

The Big Two's erratic drawings and incoherent designs could very well be spelling their doom if they want to beat Alexander's art that is way ahead of its time.

Unfortunately, their societies and mannerisms were still stuck in the 1980s, and catching up would take a lot of effort and practice.

In any case, the Creed version of the Transformers debuted to a great start.

-----

On the second day, Alexander finally got some preliminary sales numbers with 12,500 issues which should be enough to guarantee steady profits for the rest of the week.

Without doubt, Megatron and Optimus were successful in their first issue debut.

The 'To be continued...' tagline should have roped aplenty of cliffhanged readers that want to know of the lone Bumblebee's adventures on Earth.

Their new survey initiative should be the one taking spotlight from then as it foreshadowed the following issues and gave the readers a sense of contribution.

They would look forward to what car was finally chosen and what name the baffling 'jetplane' could have.

Immersive, intriguing, and inclusive. Alexander wasn't sure of the effects of that combination but it should be enough to keep people asking for more.

-------

The Creed foldable surveys eventually made its way back to the company and 10,000 copies should be enough to give a considerable estimate of the market.

Ms. Mail and the mailers have their work cut out for them while Ms. Marker and her team could have a more personalized data to work on.

Even Mr. Advertiser has his share with the ranking systems that would be established from the poll. An advertisement was for the bolstering of sales but Alexander wanted that department to also work on strengthening franchises.

Famous titles and characters needed to be stabilized while not-so-famous aspects needed to be ampt unto the Creed visibility roster.

As someone from the past-future who saw the effects of Shonen Jump popularity rankings, Alexander was quite looking forward to what numbers and what rankings his plundered characters could achieve.

As of now, the team was only working on 200 or so characters and 4 comic titles. Hence, it was the best time to practice before the titles balloon to hundreds and before the characters reach thousands.

The survey data is needed on those fronts as Creed Comics could be juggling many of them.

-----

The one-day survey count eventually tallied up.

Many insightful suggestions and complaints were set aside for the second-floor people to read.

Meanwhile the number tally was for the first-floor people to work on. The quantifiable questions were the best for them to work on.

The percentage of Creed Comics likers was 84%. It was good enough and could be made better if the company played its strategies right.

As for the release ratings, Dragonball #9 was 8/10, ThunderCats was 9.2/10, and The Cybertronian Chronicles was 9/10.

Ms. Marker was quite interested in this set of data and even Alexander was now able to find out which and where he is lacking.

As for the car and jetplane questions, they were just a fake-out contributions for the readera as Alexander already decided on what he was going for.

It was still interesting for John Wick's Ford Mustang Boss car to be the choice of the people though. To have John Wick and Bumblebee in a crossover did however open up Alexander's thoughts for many possibilities.

In the end, the tallied results were quite eventfully enlightening to everyone involved.

The employees and Alexander himself were quite fired up to see how they'd go from those numbers. Although the results were already satisfactory, a lot could still be improved upon.
