Top 100 Selling Comics And Graphic Novels In October 2016's North American Direct Market
Courtesy of Diamond Comic Distributors, here are the top 100 selling comic books and graphic novels in the North American direct market of comic book stores, subscription boxes, exclusive covers for shows and whatever remains of Hastings…
We broke apart the top ten and the marketshare stats here. One other thing to note is that Marvel achieved their marketshare win without the aid of floding the market. DC and Marvel had similar amounts of titles out in October.
Last month, Marvel had two books in the top twenty. And ten in the top fifty. And that was an improvement on August. In October they have four in the top ten and eighteen in the top fifty. Marvel also did well from a flurry of launch issue ones and the beginning of a new host of retailer exclusive covers, with Champions #1 being the lead in this. It wasn't just Big Trouble In Little China/Escape From New York that benefitted from appearing in subscription boxes like Loot Crate, both Champions and Doctor Strange appeared in them too, albeit not at the chart busting numbers that Loot Crate will bring.
For Image, getting one book in the top ten in this climate, Walking Dead, is always an achievement. But it was nice to get two as well, with the appearance of Reborn by Millar and Capullo, albeit a comic that seemed a little like a reworking of Alan Moore's issue of Spawn… still, steal from the best!
