A collation of the top ten charts of a number if disparate stores, measuring sales on Wednesdays and Thursdays only, those who can't wait till the weekend to buy their comics. A indication of unstoppable desire….

I think it's safe to say that DC Comics is going to own marketshare in September. However, with all the standard variations of every issue, their marketshare per comic may drop rather…

Batman #23.3: The Penguin
Infinity #3
Superior Spider-Man #18
Uncanny X-Men #12
Batman And Robin #23.3: Ra's Al Ghul And The League Of Assassins
Detective Comics #23.3: The Scarecrow
New Avengers #10
Justice League #23.3: Dial E
Green Lantern #23.3: Black Hand
Savage Wolverine #8

Thanks to the following retailers;

Yesteryear Comics of San Diego, California
Librairie Astro of Montreal, Que, Canada
Laughing Ogre Comics of Lansdowne and Fairfax, Virginia, and Columbus, Ohio.
Pittsburgh Comics of McMurray, Pennsylvania
Jesse James Comics of Phoenix, Arizona

And a few of their thoughts…

Villains month keeps chugging along, best sales for DC 52 for us since the launch. Going to be the best September for us, ever. Hopefully the momentum will carry us into the holiday season. Viva los Villains! And I can't wait to see how Infinity ends, best Avengers arc in years!

3D covers dominated again sold out of everything by 11:30 am . Infinity #3 and Uncanny X-Men performed better than expected. Biggest upset of the week was Zero #1 if it did not have 3 covers would have been the worst new Image seller for as long as I can remember

Marvel Now titles are still getting drained in the back-issue market at my store. I think people are trying to get on board before some titles crank out 50 issues by the 2 year mark. Dennis Hopper has a message to Marvel…."Slow it down man!!!"

Though Marvel didn't have a lot of issues coming out this week. They had 7 of our top 10 spots in sales this week. Dc seemed to drop as fans start to ask where are the Super Heroes. Adventure Time stays strong for another month and Peter Panzerfaust holds on to 10th place.
