Daredevil #1 Sells More Than Any Issue Of Daredevil, Possibly Ever

Daredevil #1 by Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett has more comic book store orders than any other copy of Daredevil, possibly ever...



Article Summary

  • Daredevil #1 by Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett sets record-breaking sales numbers for the series
  • The True Believers Blind Bag promotion fueled massive retailer demand and unprecedented order quantities
  • Marvel ensured improved blind bag quality and retailers responded by ordering Daredevil #1 with confidence
  • A new villain named Omen shakes up Matt Murdock’s life as Daredevil enters an exciting new era

Blame it on the True Believers Blind Bag if you want. But I understand, from roundtable discussions with retailers at the ComicsPRO event this week, that the new Daredevil #1 from Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett has received more orders than any other Daredevil. Possibly ever. Certainly, this century, maybe more than the Kevin Smith/Joe Quesada Daredevil. Maybe more than the Frank Miller/John Romita Jr Man Without Fear #1. Even in the glory days of the newsstand, Daredevil would sell around 150-200,000 on the newsstand, and this is higher. I also understand that Marvel Comics conducted rigorous testing to ensure the Daredevil True Believers Blind Bag doesn't suffer the kind of damage the Ultimate Endgame blind bags did. Retailers have been informed they can order with confidence. And it turns out they have done.
