The month’s total wouldn’t be an all-time record, though. Marvel placed 119 comics in the Top 300 in June 2009, but several of those were previously listed books that had been reordered. But if that 118 number holds, it’s likely to be the highest figure this century. We’re not absolutely certain that figure represents only unique new comic books, with no second or later printings included it depends on how Diamond is keeping track. Diamond reported that market-share leader Marvel shipped 118 new comic books to market, a figure that’s higher than any since Diamond began reporting monthly release counts in 2013. The tale of two strategies we’ve seen in 2019 continued with Marvel publishing more different periodical titles, and DC and Image publishing fewer. , and some funky stuff is happening overalls with several publishers adjusting their output, John Jackson Miller reports (quoted with permission): What did I tell ya about everyone pivoting to all ages? If you’d told me an explicitly YA Catwoman graphic novel would one day lead sales in comics shops I would have plotzed. Maybe less is more after all.ĭC also led graphic novels sales units with Catwoman: Under the Moon, the first release in the YA Ink line. Marvel still led DC in dollars, but DC came close in units, losing by a mere 1% despite publishing half as many books! Very interesting. which was the top periodical for the month. DC had a dream month with a new issue of Doomsday Clock, lots of Batman and a new blockbuster in DCeased #1. After a pretty glum April, comics sales were a bit better in May, according to sales figures just released by Diamond.
