Bleeding Cool Beaten By Marvel 75th Anniversary To Best Selling Magazine Of 2014 In Comic Stores

STK636194According to Diamond Comic Distributors, Bleeding Cool Magazine placed in the 2nd and 3rd spots for best selling magazine in the direct market for 2014, cruelly beaten by the Marvel 75th Anniversary Magazine.

Though since it's doubtful, they'll have a 76th Anniversary Magazine, maybe we'll get a look in at the top slot for 2015!

The Batman '66 TV show being released on Blu Ray made for the bestselling video item. Zelda: History Of Hyrule, despite being published in January 2014 was still the best selling book of 2014. Comics in the Skylanders Micro Fun Packs pushed them to the top of the trading card list, Alex Ross' Amazing Spider-Man image topped the poster charts, Marvel Mystery Minis topped the collectibles list and the replica of Marty McFly's hat from Back To The Future, no one could get enough of that apparently.

Here's a look at the best selling charts in the direct market for magazines, books, posters, trading cards, apparel, collectibles and videos. And a little look at the winners in each category…
