New comic-book orders in the direct market increased in both unit and dollar terms in May, but trade paperback weakness continued to keep the overall dollar volume nearly flat.
There were three Marvel titles in the top four slots, including Siege #4 and Secret Avengers #1. DC's first issue of Brightest Day (actually its second, after April-leading #0) placed fifth; the publisher's top title was Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #1, in third place.
Unit sales for comics were up 9% with dollars up 15% — that latter partially a reflection of the fact that the price of the average comic book retailers ordered went from $3.32 to $3.51.
