Walking Dead #100 Gets In The Top Ten Twice – Top 100 Comic Sales For July 2012
We gave you the top ten last week, here is the top hundred for July 2012, for comic books sold in the direct market in North America through Diamond Comic Distributors
Things to note – the $3.99 domination of the chart continues, with Green Lantern #11 being the top $2.99 seller in b0th place by quantity and tellingly 21st place by dollars raised. Customers, it seems, are voting for the $3.99 priced books, with only four of the top twenty-five at $2.99.
Having said that, the $3.99 Before Watchmen books have dramatically dropped significantly in sales. Only Ozymandias' first issue is in the top ten, the rest crash out with Silk Spectre bearing the brunt of retailer lack of confidence.
Purely on estimates, North America reports around 350,000 sales of The Walking Dead #1 standard cover with a further 32,000 for the chromium edition. Indeed, because of its $9.99 price point, on its own it made the top ten in terms of dollars raised.
On that estimated basis, Avengers Vs X-Men #7 comes in at about 190,000 and Batman #11 at around 135,000.
And Saga keeps in the top fifty, a tribute to talent and tenacity, with retailers choosing not to drop sales with successive issues and seeing interest and popularity of the book beat their conservative instincts. This bodes well for Image's new big name creator books joining Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples.
