Unit preorders for comic books reached almost exactly where they were at during the lowest point in 2000. Combined comics and new trade paperback orders were nearly $2 million behind where they were in the pre-Ultimate days of June 2000.

Diamond did release dollar rankings for the Top 300 comics; these will be added at a later date.

This list includes all items on Diamond's Top 300 charts, plus any post-#300 items from its Top Independent Publisher charts.
If you don't see a book, Diamond released no data for it.
Items marked (resolicited) were offered in an earlier month but never shipped; disregard any previously reported figure, as earlier orders were canceled when the books were resolicited.
