Everything has Batman. I bet AC 1000 will not only have Batman but he will be the main character.
Logan Ross
It's coming, Jeff Lemire said in a interview he isn't writing it anymore though.
Josiah Gomez
I feel like they'd just give it to Snyder since it's his dream project.
Nicholas Diaz
>8. MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #1 (MAR)
But FF was cancelled due to low sales, right?
Carson Gomez
>> 1. DOOMSDAY CLOCK #2 (DC) How much did it sell?
Joseph Kelly
>Hawkman in the top 10 even if it is a #1 what a time to be alive
Jayden Cooper
>> 8. ONI PRESS - 1.00% >> 10. VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT LLC - 0.96% that's really embarrassing What does oni even publish? Rick and Morty?
Joseph Young
they also do Invader Zim, which I just learned has been running for 26 issues
Brandon Jones
>previous Decembers Oni is improving actually. Definitely a Rick & Morty bump.

Jaxson Harris
made a bigger one. DC hasn't had a December this strong since 2006 when they had 35% of the market.

Lincoln Martinez
yeah, all they had to do was break open the piggy bank
Evan Russell
any way of seeing the numbers for the manga sales in the US?
Tyler Morales
I buy floppies, and I bought 2 of the books in the top 10.
Joseph Morris
On a monthly basis, no, but Brian Hibbs has been posting annual totals for a while.
Austin Howard
Complete list when?
Jackson Allen
We don’t actually even know what Snyder’s on after Metal do we? He’s got New Challengers but I’d be surprised if that was all he’s on. Maybe he does have Hawkman.
Elijah Smith
That was always bullshit. They don’t cancel Carol despite her selling like shit, or Squirrel Girl.
Eli Gray
>3. PHOENIXRESURRECTION: THE RETURN OF JEAN GREY #1 (MAR) >7. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN/VENOM: VENOM INC. ALPHA #1 (MAR) So 90s nostalgia is the only thing helping Marvel right now?
Nathaniel Clark
No it wasn't, despite what Brevoort and the shills claim.
If it were true they would've canceled a lot more books years ago.
Venom Inc Alpha #1 also had a 1:50 incentive variant, too.

>>UNIT MARKET SHARE > 1. MARVEL COMICS - 38.81% > 2. DC ENTERTAINMENT - 37.65%
And Marvel comics cost 1 dollar more on standard issues... Overshipping more than usually?
Joseph Brown
> 1. DOOMSDAY CLOCK #2 (DC) Fuck everybodies shit taste > 2. DARK NIGHTS: METAL #4 (DC) Fuck yeah
What's marvel 2 in one and how hard did they push it to get it up there?
Luis Sanders
That is really weird since DC's books are so much cheaper than Marvels. How the hell did this even happen?
Joseph Long
I don't understand. How does dc have market share but marvel has unit share? Aren't dc books cheaper?
Jeremiah Morgan
>complaining about other's shit taste while praising Metal this is a little too perfect
Daniel Nguyen
It is fantastic four, at least half. And it was really good.
Jordan Fisher
>Hawkman and half of the FF in the top 10
Surely this will persuade them to give them book
Lincoln Murphy
What's the difference user?
Adrian Ramirez
Its Johhny and Ben looking for the rest of the Fantastic Four, anything starring the FF is a long time coming and people are jumping on it.
Mason Davis
unit share is how many books were sold, market share is how many dollars were spent
Lucas Long
Most are, but the events going on right now are more expensive and as such are likely helping bring that number up. We'll get a clear image once the number of units shipped comes out.
Kayden Ramirez
>7. Venom Inc Alpha Hey cool
Grayson Long
Ah right.
Nicholas Richardson
Unit share is books sold to stores. Market share is how much money you made off those books.
David Cruz
By which I mean how much marvel and dc made.
William Hughes
Why is Hawkman selling so well? Was there some hype surrounding him? Is it actually good? Are covers so great, people just want to grab them? Explain, Sup Forums.
Levi Bell
Metal tie-in+on a TV show?
Colton Brooks
>>>RETAIL MARKET SHARE >> 1. DC ENTERTAINMENT - 34.54% >> 2. MARVEL COMICS - 33.80% Is this a sign of the changing times?
Ethan Bennett
>What's marvel 2 in one and how hard did they push it to get it up there?
It's the Thing and Human Torch comic. It also had a lenticular incentive variant which is why it's that high up.
Henry Nguyen
>BATMAN >BATMAN >BATMAN Joker just put me on acid.
Ethan Price
>#1 sales meaning anything in marvel That shit has 8 variant covers, including the Lenticular that you can only get by order a certain amount of the other covers.
Colton King
it is a concept of hankman in hell, but not a metal hell or destroyer,is more based on the hell of the pestilence
Mason Kelly
Marvel is really weird. They cancel a lot of the good books for having low physical copy of floppy sales yet for books like Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel, Moon Girl, and Squirrel girl they use the trades and scholastic as an excuse to continue the shit books.
Anthony Rogers
Quality has nothing to do with it, if the trade sales aren't great, they get canceled. >Captain Marvel That's just a meme they're desperately trying to force.
Nathaniel Adams
I know quality doesn't matter to them that's why I said it's weird how they just try to cherrypick which series to axe. Carl Manvers is definitely kept for movie and name rights but the others I don't understand.
Gavin Diaz
They actually do have good trade sales, this can be independently observed.
Jose Anderson
Link?
Chase King
Even with all the power Marvel movies are bringing, their comic book division is shitting the bed. Disney should just fire everyone involved.
Christopher Johnson
But this is exactly why Alonso was fired and why the Cebulski Shogunate was installed to try to fix things.
Nathaniel Peterson
Remember when Image projected they would surpass DC in market share?
Gavin Ortiz
I LOVE DOOMSDAY COCK
Zachary Miller
>6. BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT #3 (DC)
after batman...another batman but it must be sold more than 70ks
Robert Taylor
Batman is pretty much singlehandedly keeping the market alive. It fucking sucks that that’s how it is but it’s true.
Jace Morris
Look at how much Doomsday Clock, Dark Nights: Metal, Batman: White Knight and Hawkman: Found cost relative to their positions on the Top 10.
Thomas Price
>Valiant being beat by a company that sells nothing but Reddit: The Comic Book
As someone who genuinely enjoys Valiant this wounds me. How do they get the top spots without having to rely on movie sales to advertise to normies?
Jayden Miller
publish more than two books a month?
Nolan Torres
I think they publish like six a month. They play it safe with their shared universe and purge books when they aren't needed unlike Marvel who have several Deadpool titles both on team and on solo just because.
Charles White
>AC 1000
A (Detective) Comics.
Jacob Hill
Doomsday Clock and Metal both have jacked up prices
Jonathan Green
Top 100 tomorrow, what you're exactly saying saying on Monday
Austin Cox
that means shit all since modern sales are so much lower nowadays. 100% of 100 sold copies will always be less then 50% of 1000 copies
