July 2006 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops
Estimated Comics Shipped to North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
For the first seven months of the year, Diamond's overall sales including all comics, trade paperbacks, and magazines are at $223.85 million, up 13% over the previous year's pace of $197.4 million. The industry was ahead more than $26 million, and nearly $20 million of that came from Diamond's Top 300 Comics.
Marvel's Civil War #3 led the list, selling at least 290,700 copies and dropping off only slightly from the first issue's totals. Orders for DC's issues of 52 were again only estimated by Diamond, owing to that title's returnability -- but estimates for all four were above 98,000 copies, with #11 and its introduction of a new Batwoman appearing in fourth place. (Without the reduction, Batwoman's debut issue really was the third-place comic.) The series would become nonreturnable in August. Fourteen comics had sales over 100,000 copies.
The same top four publishers appeared in the same order in every market share category measured: Marvel, DC, Image, and Dark Horse. Parity returned to the offerings between the Big Two as DC had 88 comics in the Top 300 versus Marvel’s 87.
Diamond did not release the dollar sales rankings for the comics in 101st through 300th place this month.
