September 2011 was one of the great inflection points in modern Direct Market history, though the scale of its impact wouldn't be fully apparent for another month. With DC relaunching most of its line in the "New 52" event, comics unit sales increased by double digits. The overall market netted out down 1%, however, as graphic novel orders sank against strong comparatives — Scott Pilgrim and Walking Dead were drawing very well in September 2010.
The numbers were further impacted by the fact that 41 of DC's titles were made returnable, and by custom Diamond reduced those titles' rankings in the tables to the tune of 10%. This reflects copies that might have been reported as unsold by the end of the year, and thus not paid for by retailers. The final totals for 2011 reflect more accurate numbers.
Still, even with the reduction, comic book unit sales were higher than they'd been in any month since December 2008, which is before the general recession really took hold in the direct market. Six titles topped the 100,000-copy mark, even with the reduction; this was the most since July 2009. Batman #1 (or Batman Vol. 2, #1) led the charts with more than 188,000 copies ordered. Orders for second-place Action Comics #1 were more than 182,000 copies.
The third quarter closed up over 2010 by 3.55%; this was the first up quarter since the fourth quarter of 2010, and the first up third quarter since 2009. Only one title not published by Marvel and DC made the Top 100 — Dark Horse's Buffy debut. DC's Justice League #1 from August reappeared in 44th place on the strength of reorders.
