The numbers from March 2014! Diamond Comic Distributors has compiled the data from March and placed into awesome tables for math nerds, like us, to stare and enjoy. Let's get right down to the numbers.
Last month, once again, Marvel took the top spot.
DC takes the top four out of five of the top ten, with BATMAN #29 looming over all other books for March.
Four of the top ten selling graphic novels are Image books, which is not unusual for that company.
Ever wonder how many books each company ships out every month?
How do they calculate this information? It all starts at the comic book shop.
Data for Diamond’s sales charts — which include the monthly market shares and all top product charts — are compiled by Diamond Comic Distributors from a universe of over 3,500 comic book specialty shops located in North America and around the world. The account base includes brick-and-mortar comic book specialty shops, Internet merchants, and other specialty stores.
Unit and dollars sales are calculated based upon orders invoiced and shipped to Diamond accounts during January to December 2013, which comprises initial pre-orders, advance reorders, and reorders, minus any copies that are received back from a title marked as returnable.
What are your thoughts on all these numbers? What's your predictions for this month?
