For the last couple months, DC has been dragging in sales....but the March numbers finally give me something worthwhile to report on! If you follow the Monthly Sales Report that I publish here at Batman News, you'll notice that I haven't done one in the last two months.  If you've been wondering why, it's because…

The Dark Knight III's Miller-verse vs The Marvel Universe and Star Wars!  Who will win this battle royale to take the prize as the number one selling comic of 2015?  Well, if you've been watching numbers over the year, it should be pretty obvious.  Instead, let's see if DC went down fighting...or just got completely…

Curious about the longevity of our Burnside Batgirl?  Well, look no further.  In this installment of the monthly sales report, I provide a complete breakdown for the sales of the ongoing Batgirl title.  Get ready, the results might shock you! But first, let's take a look at our October numbers. Below you will find a…

I'm not going to talk extensively about September.  For the most part, everything dropped in sales, and it's kind of bumming me out.  The only issues that saw an increase were Detective Comics, Batman Beyond, and Injustice.  But don't worry, despite September being uneventful, I still have some interesting things to discuss. Below you will…

The numbers for August were released about a week ago, but I was holding off on posting this so that I could give Josh the honor/sadness of announcing the upcoming cancellations.  Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can present to you the numbers that set these events in motion. Below you…

The decline in sales for the month of July is simply brutal.  The only comic that managed to pull through unscathed was Batman 66.  Every other single comic we review here at Batman-News took a plummeting nose dive. Below you will find a chart detailing the 28 comics that this site reviews, along with the…

June ended up not being another reboot for the DC Universe as some people were speculating, but never-the-less, June still had a real sense of freshness to it that invited new readership to jump on board.  Not only did DC release a whole slew of new books, but most of the continuing titles received makeovers…

It's time to take a look back and see how Convergence measured up.  I'm not going to compare the sales numbers for Convergence to the sales numbers of your average monthly releases because that is an unjust comparison.  Typically, a comic that is tied to an event will have numbers that are hugely blown out…

Marvel dominates the top ten this month with Star Wars, Spiderman, and....Howard the Duck?  Batman: Arkham Knight does manage to slip into the number 9 spot, but the absence of DC's biggest hitters (Batman and Justice League) really shook up the playing field. Below you will find a chart detailing the 26 comics that this…

February was a great month for the Batman titles!  10 of the titles that we cover all had tremendous increases in their sales, and one had an unexpectedly large dip. Below you will find a chart detailing the 25 comics that this site reviews, along with the total sales for this month and several previous…

This is a Batman site, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out the fact that the new Star Wars title that premiered in January had the highest totals for a comic that I have seen in years, coming in at 985,976.  That number is ridiculous!  It's ten times the number of the…

First, let me start by apologizing for this being a week later than usual.  The powers that be decided that they wanted to release the data on the year in review for 2014 before the December data.  I guess that means it isn't my fault since I had to wait on them, but since they…

One of the primary questions that got asked from last month was: What makes up these numbers?  These numbers are made up of the physical copies that comic shops ordered from Diamond Distributors during the month in question.  It has become common practice for these numbers to be shared with the general public, but digital…

Starting this month, I will be featuring a monthly post that details the rankings and sales of top comics.  This is something I have always done for myself in order to keep track of a book's popularity, potential for cancellation, or to weight the effectiveness of a stunt/creative team switch being used to boost a…
