In the first half of 2011, orders by Direct Market comics shops in North America were off 8% versus the year before; in 2012, they were up more than 18% in the same period. Retailers had already ordered more material through June 2012 — nearly $223 million in retail dollars— than they did in the previous year through July.
June 2011 was a five-week month versus four shipping weeks for June 2012,
yet periodical units and dollars were still up double-digits. With June's orders, retailers had bought 38.32 million copies of the Top 300 periodicals in 2012. That's more than 6 million copies more than the first six months of 2011. Marvel's Avengers Vs. X-Men #6 led the charts, with four DC Before Watchmen debut issues landing in fifth through eight place.

June 2012 Graphic Novel Sales to Comics Shops
Estimated Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks Shipped to North American Comics Shops Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
This list includes all items on Diamond's Top 300 Graphic Novel charts, plus any post-#300 items from its Top Independent and Manga charts. If you don't see a book, Diamond released no data for it.
The links lead to title details on Amazon (paid links). You can also find the books at your comics shop.
On the trade paperback side, the release of Walking Dead Vol. 16: A Larger World both topped the charts. There was a slight year-to-year drop in graphic novel units, but not dollars.
