Star Wars, Secret Wars, Saga And Loot Crate Dominate Sales In Comic Shops In 2015
These are the Diamond Comic Distributors state for direct market sales to comic shops (and Loot Crate) in 2015.
Not only did Marvel dominate, with DC knocked back in marketshare, but they took the top two spots with Star Wars #1 beating out Secret Wars #1. And both beating out the Loot Crate exclusives for Orphan Black #1 and Bravest Warriors: Holo Warriors #1 which took IDW and Boom into the annual top ten for the first time on the back of the monthly mystery subscription box Loot Crate half-a-million guaranteed sales – which also boosted Star Wars #1. DC's Dark Knight III followed suit, beating Vader Down #1 and Darth Vader #1.
Oh and Spider-Gwen #1 outsold Invincible Iron Man #1. And Princess Leia #1 made it in too.Which means that Star Wars took four slots, Loot Crate took three.
But for the collections and trades? All about Saga. Which beat out the Walking Dead big time with only two, with the top three for Saga alone and two more in the top ten, taking half of that chart. While the existence of a film boosted Star Wars and Civil War – the only real surprise is the Killing Joke being reprinted and selling again… can Killing Joke 2 be that far behind for 2016?
