Marketshare Per Comic For October 2013 – Marvel Takes The Lead
Recently I reported on Diamond's new policy to list how many titles each publisher has put out alongside their respective marketshare.
And how I was happy to do the necessary dividing to compare them. So here is the marketshare per individual comic, or individual items (counting collections and magazines as well as single comics)
PUBLISHER (All figures %/1000) | DOLLAR SHARE PER COMIC | UNIT SHARE PER COMIC | DOLLAR SHARE PER ITEM | UNIT SHARE PER ITEM |
MARVEL | 391 | 431 | 267 | 298 |
DC COMICS | 310 | 332 | 240 | 257 |
IMAGE | 156 | 183 | 121 | 142 |
DARK HORSE | 141 | 95 | 123 | 83 |
IDW | 130 | 103 | 81 | 64 |
BOOM! | 73 | 71 | 66 | 63 |
ARCHIE | 63 | 56 | 46 | 41 |
DYNAMITE | 61 | 63 | 58 | 60 |
Compared to the usual figures, which had Marvel and DC level pegging, when you look at marketshare per comic, you see Marvel ahead in all categories, Dark Horse ahead of IDW and both Boom and even Archie doing better than Dynamite. Even if the official chart paints a different picture of how each title's books are behaving.
In comparison, here is the marketshare for the publishers as a whole.
