400th-place Comic Books by Month

Estimated Sales to North American Comics Shops
of the 400th-place comic book from each month
as Reported by Diamond Comic Distributors


Whereas 300th place level on the Diamond sales chart has long provided a useful benchmark for sales, the availability of information below that level has been intermittent. After Diamond began reporting the Top 50 Independent and Top 50 Small Publisher titles, data on scattered titles in the 300s and occasionally 400s appeared; there was also a brief period in 2013-14 during which Diamond released the full Top 400. Most recently, Diamond switched to reporting the Top 500 in December 2017.

The known entries in 400th place appear below, as well as estimates for sales levels at 400th place based on other known entries in the other months. It will be seen that volumes at 400th place vary wildly; between new titles and reordered titles, five-week months see much higher sales levels.

When larger publishers' titles are seen below, the figures are almost always from a second- or later-month reorder. Doomsday Clock #3 in March 2018, for example, was on its third month of sales when it appeared in 400th place.
