Top 100 Comics And Graphic Novels For June 2012
These are the best selling comics for June 2012 in the North American Direct Market, serviced by Diamond Comic Distributors, and does not include the UK market. As we previously revealed, Before Watchmen has seen DC Comics regain their dominance of the top ten, outselling everything from DC asaide from Batman and Justice League.
We can also estimate from these figures that Avengers Vs X-Men #6 sold around 190,000, Batman around 130,000, and the Before Watchmen launch issues between 100,000 and 107,000, which is a remarkable success, especially considering they are all Mature Readers titles.
Interestingly, you can see the affects of Marvel's promotions for retailers, Avengers Vs X-Men #5 and #6 swap places on the quantity and dollar ranks. They both cost the same, but a promotion for retailers to increase their orders for issue 6 in return for greater discount, has seen the comic beat #5 in sales – but not for dollars raised. You can see a similar example on the placement of Astonishing X-Men #51.
The highest placed creator owned title is Hit Girl #1 at around 60,000 sales – an excellent position for the comic at 26th place as The Walking Dead slips back to 30th at around 55,000 sales. Not to worry, next month will see The Walking Dead hit the top spot by a very large margin… this is of course in direct contrast to the graphic novels and trade paperback chart, dominated by creator owned or creator participant series, with even the highest selling DC New 52 collections being knocked back by The Walking Dead and Alan Moore.
The only non-Premier publisher title to break the Top 100 is Harbinger #1 from Valiant, launching at around 32,000.
