I remember in my newspaper days, each "copy sold" was counted as "4 people" for circulation purposes (the assumption being that a family of 4 would read the paper).
I don't know if that assumption holds true for comic books, but even if we're generous and say that the comic books have a paid readership of 110,000 people, but an "actual circulation" of 440,000 people, that's still way, way, way below the ratings for the lowest-rated episode of Buffy.
Even if circulation for the comic book climbs or stays steady, I somehow doubt it's ever going to match that lowest-rated Buffy episode. Once you toss in the availability of DVD and episodes on iTunes, well, it seems that the OP's stance is hella unreasonable.
