pochorenella Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 As you said, no surprises on the top spot. Everyone expected ASB&R to be #1 but I did expect a higher sales number, based on the star power involved. I figure AS Superman won't do any better. House of M continues to sell well, and I really can't remember the last time I saw Iron Man on the list. Damn it is taking forever for that title to come out.
ZGangsta Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 They've also got market share and analysis. Here's the top 4 for july: MARVEL COMICS: 37.95% dollar share, 43.45% Unit Share DC COMICS: 33.57% dollar share, 37.05% Unit Share DARK HORSE COMICS: 4.96% dollar share, 3.47% Unit Share IMAGE COMICS: 4.26% dollar share, 3.98% Unit Share
Guest JMA Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 I wish Day of Vengeance was a little higher. It's probably my favorite of the Infinite Crisis lead-ins. Detective Chimp rules, yo.
Vampiro69 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Who would have thought Detective Chimp would be a major player in a series? If so would you please raise your hand? Dang JSA at 33 and Flash at 41? That sucks for my favorite books.
SuperJerk Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 I haven't paid attention to sales in years, so its weird seeing a non-X-Men title in the top Marvel spot. Of course, you COULD argue that its because New Avengers has Wolverine...but Ultimates does not, and it beat the regular X-Men titles also. Hmm...
Guest JMA Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 Does anyone have any predictions for August?
ZGangsta Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 Does anyone have any predictions for August? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe Justice? I'm sure New Avengers, House of M, Superman/Batman, and Astonishing X-Men will be up there if they have issues in August. Ultimates Annual might be pretty high too.
Guest Prodigy Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 Top Ten Predictions for August: 1. New Avengers #8 2. House of M #5 3. Green Lantern #4 (I'd put HoM 6 here but it's delayed til Sept.) 4. Astonishing X-Men #12 (is this suppose to come out this month?) 5. Green Lantern #3 6. Justice #1 7. Superman/Batman #22 8. Ultimates 2 #8 9. Omac Project #5 10. Ultimate FF #22 I'm thinking the new Supergirl series debuted somewhere around #13.
Guest JMA Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 I see New Avengers taking the top spot (even though I've never read the title).
