BEST SELLING COMICS in a world without DC and Marvel
BEST SELLING COMICS in a world without DC and Marvel – report by Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com
Marvel & DC have always dominated the market and basically you could say “own” the comic industry. So lets analyze the best selling comics WITHOUT any Marvel/DC titles included. This will give us a better perception of how well the other publishers sell and what titles and characters actually compete with Marvel/DC sales numbers. After reading this chart you may have a new appreciation for the smaller publishers who bring a wider and unique variety of titles to our comic shops each week.
AUGUST 2013 best selling comics chart.
Lets erase the 80 DC and 67 Marvel titles that sold well this month and see what the “other” best selling comics were!
Only 9 comics ranked in the Top 100 and these are the 9 high profile comics of the month that truly had a buzz.
Walking Dead placed #1 yet again (7 out of 8 months this year). Image Comics held the top 2 spots as Saga returned to big sales once again. Only 4 non “big-2” titles sold over 30,000 each. The power of East Of West and Star Wars is continually strong as these were the best selling issues that did not have various covers or gimmick marketing. Sidekick and Overtaken both charted high with #1 issues however Sidekick had 2 regular covers and Overtaken was a discounted $1.00 cover book. My Little Pony had 2 titles in the top 10.
Only 9 comics made the top 100 but a whopping 67 made the top 200 showing that there is a lot of support for indie publishers but mostly in the 10,000 to 20,000 range whereas Marvel/DC average orders are double that.

JUNE 2013 best selling comics chart.
Lets erase the 70 DC and 76 Marvel titles that sold well this month and see what the “other” best selling comics were!
Only 11 comics ranked in the Top 100 and these are the 11 high profile comics of the month that truly had a buzz.
Walking Dead placed #1 yet again. Image Comics held the top 3 spots for the first time in a long time ! Jupiters Legacy and Lazarus were big hot profile comics that almost sold 50,000 each. Jupiters Legacy however had 3 different covers so really only sold about 16,000 each. The power of Star Wars is continually strong as sales moved up to #4 this month from #5. The big surprise hit of June was True Lives Of The Fabulous Killroys #1 from Dark Horse. This written by a member of the rock band My Chemical Romance had showed signs of promise as it was featured a month ago in a free comic book day version that hit a high of $33.00 as a back issue a week after release. East Of West kept its selling power high for a #3 issue. Girl power was strong yet again with My Little Pony with two different titles in the top 10. Ten Grand #2 from Image had a big sales drop from ranking #2 last month. Even with 2 covers again they averaged sales of only 15,000 copies each. Bubblegun had a high print run as it was priced at only $1.00. The hype of X-Files Season 10 sold out instantly even with high orders. 4 of the 11 comics ranked high due to being a #1.
Extinction Parade #1 Avatar, Herobear And The Kid Special #1 and Uncanny #1 Dynamite all had strong showings for first issues.
Only 11 comics made the top 100 but 61 made the top 200 showing that there is a lot of support for indie publishers but mostly in the 10,000 to 20,000 range whereas Marvel/DC average orders are double that.

MAY 2013 best selling comics chart.
Lets erase the 79 DC and 74 Marvel titles and see what the “other” best selling comics were!
Only 9 comics ranked in the Top 100 and these are the 9 high profile comics of the month that truly had a buzz.
Walking Dead returned back to #1 yet again. Ten Grand #1 from Image had a super strong showing with 2 different regular covers. The power of Star Wars is continually strong as sales hold steady on #5. Regular Show #1 had 6 regular covers which helped print orders making Boom’s biggest selling comic ever. Girl power was strong yet again with My Little Pony #7. The original creator of TMNT returned to the comic after many years creating a “first” of sorts. This boosted sales way up the list. Charismagic had a high print run as it was priced at only $1.00 Image Bounce #1 had decent orders but very small compared to Ten Grand. The hype of the very first Sesame Street comic ever encouraged all retailers to really take a chance on this one based on the 1970 TV series with 5 different regular covers. 6 of the 9 comics ranked high due to being a “first” of sorts.
Only 9 comics made the top 100 but 60 made the top 200 showing that there is a lot of support for indie publishers but mostly in the 10,000 to 20,000 range whereas Marvel/DC average orders are double that.

APRIL 2013 best selling comics chart.
Lets erase the 74 DC and 74 Marvel titles and see what the “other” best selling comics were!
Only 10 comics ranked in the Top 100 and these are the 10 high profile comics of the month that truly had a buzz.
Jupiters Legacy was the most impressive debut in a long long time as the new Image #1 had orders over 100,000 even outselling The Walking Dead. Saga continued strong as Image’s second biggest constant seller. Star Wars #4 continued strong steady orders. East Of West #2 from Image even sold out and went to a reprint. Jirni from Aspen had very high orders due to a $1.00 cover price. My Little Pony stayed strong once again with 2 different series. Buffy #20 had extra high orders at 21,000 and Adventure Time from Boom continued to be its biggest selling title based on the TV cartoon series.
Only 10 comics ranked in the top 100 of the month but a high 66 made the Top 200.

JANUARY 2013 best selling comics chart.
Lets erase the 84 DC and 85 Marvel titles and see what the “other” best selling comics were!
January was a rough month for all the indie publishers with only 6 comics ranked in the Top 100 and these are the 6 high profile comics of the month that truly had a buzz.
The Walking Dead held #1 as usual. Saga in 2nd place also as usual. Invincible celebrated a #100 anniversary which boosted sales dramatically. Star Wars #1 from Dark Horse had a strong debut but due to extra media publicity sold out instantly and went up in value hitting $40.00 in the first week. Buffy from Dark Horse and Adventure Time from Boom continued to rank high month to month.
6 comics made the top 100 but a decent 53 made the top 200.
