The June 2007 comics shop order totals have been posted; my estimates for individual titles can be found here.

The detailed data:

TOP 300 UNIT SALES
6.93 million copies, down 1% from last June
Q2: 21.83 million copies, up 5% from Q2 2006
2007 YTD: 42.13 million copies, up 7% from 2006 YTD

TOP 300 DOLLAR SALES
$22.11 million, up 4% from last June
Q2: $68.44 million, up 6% from Q2 2006
2007 YTD: $132.58 million, up 6% from 2006 YTD

TOP 100 TRADE PAPERBACKS
$4.85 million, up 33% from last June
Q2: $16.05 million, up 48% from Q2 2006
2007 YTD: $27.94 million, up 28% from 2006 YTD

COMBINED TOP 300 COMICS & TOP 100 TRADES
$26.96 million, up 8% from last June
Q2: $84.49 million, up 12% from Q2 2006
2007 YTD: $160.52 million, up 13% from 2006 YTD

OVERALL DIAMOND SALES (including all comics, TPBs, and magazines)
$35.08 million, up 10% from last June
Q2: $110.81 million, up 11% from Q2 2006
2007 YTD: $210.11 million, up 11% from 2006 YTD


Prospects at midyear for topping 2006 performance in all categories continue to be good. TPB performance looks to be surging in 2007, after last year when the periodicals seemed to have more momentum.

Been on the road a lot lately; I should be getting back to posting data more regularly here soon.
