Moon Girl supposedly sells well in trades and is overall considered to be aimed at younger audiences so the lower sales figures are to be expected. Agree with the rest of it,tho.
Super Sons is one of the highest-selling comics at this moment, and the first issue that came out in February had 90,000 sales. If you don’t know what that is, it’s definitely aimed at younger audiences. It’s about Superboy and Robin. This isn’t about age. Kids still like comics. They usually prefer manga nowadays because it’s better written and looks nicer visually, but kids still do like comics.
To put their sales figures into perspective, the sales Moon Girl got on its first issue was 13,000. Just above what Hellcat was getting at the time.
Hellcat was cancelled recently, too, likely because of low sales, ignoring what Kate Leth may tell you. It was averaging around 8,000 units.
Moon Girl currently has the sales units that Hellcat had. It’s likely going to get cancelled soon.
