Detective Comics #1000 Keeps Selling and Selling and Selling

Published Fri, 10 May 2019 11:00:42 -0500

We mentioned this in the April 2019 marketshare report earlier. But, as well as Immortal Hulk #16 outselling Batman #68 and #69, there was another remarkable performance in the top ten most-ordered comic books for the month. That of Detective Comics #1000, the best-selling title of March reappearing in the top ten for most revenue-raising titles of the month.

Only The War Of The Realms #1, Symbiote Spider-Man #1 and The Batman Who Laughs #1 brought in more revenue from comic stores for comic book publishers in April. In comparison, Action Comics #1000 which had the same price point and a similar appeal, made it to 6th place in the subsequent month's chart, still very impressive. But, it seems, Batman beats Superman.

Will Marvel be able to pull off the same trick with Marvel Comics #1000 in September as well as August?
