Given November's powerful performance thanks mostly to the DC "New 52" relaunch, it had briefly looked as though 2011, a weak year in the beginning, might actually net out positive. But while total new comics sales were up for the month, it wasn't enough to offset the 16% year-over-year decline in trade paperback orders for December. So the year instead came in down less than 1%.
It was a remarkable reversal, though, and the latter portion of 2011 would set up several successful years to follow. It's made more remarkable by the fact that the average comic book cost considerably less in 2011 than it did in 2010; while that pumped up unit sales, it could have contributed to the shortfall in overall dollars. The average price of comic books dropped by a dime in 2011.
Justice League #4 led the market, and Diamond would simultaneously report Justice League #1 as the top-seller of the year.
