Retailers ordered $42.22 million in comic books and graphic novels in December, a sum almost identical to that of November. Less than $9,000, or the sales of a single issue of a 400th-place title, separated November and December's orders. But December 2012 was weaker than last November, so the result was an uptick in the year-to-year percentage change: the direct market ordered nearly 6% more dollars worth of comics and graphic novels this December than last December.

Orders for the fourth quarter totaled $134.79 million in comics and graphic novels, more than a million dollars better than the third quarter and an improvement of more than $6 million over the fourth quarter of 2012. Since the third quarter was already a record for the Diamond Exclusive Era, the fourth quarter represented the highest dollar value to that date for a quarter, unadjusted for inflation, since the early 1990s.

The resulting sales for the year came in at around $517.66 million, an increase of 9% over last year's figure of $474.45 million. 2013 was a very good year for the Direct Market.

IDW had a dollar market share of 8.18%, a record for the publisher; it was good enough to put the company into the third place slot.
 
Diamond began reporting its Top 400 comics rather than its Top 300 this month; we've confirmed that it was done by accident rather than intent. It would remain at 400 for several months before changing back to the Top 300.
