    Default What are X-books sales like right now?

    Just wanted to check, I've been having trouble narrowing it down, especially for the last couple of months.

    No idea, sales numbers are a thing of the past. They are as relevant as continuity.

    Since Diamond lost its exclusive distribution deal the data has not really been reliable Projection sites have only updated general estimated ranks for the later months of 2021.

    There's the ComicHub ranking that ICV usually publishes, but that is from a small sample of stores and only up to top 50 overall.

    According to Comixology's best sellers list, pretty good: https://www.comixology.com/comics-best-sellers

    The nice thing about the ICv2 number is that, much like Comixology, they are of an indicator of what people are actually buying and not just what stores are filling shipments with.

    Wow, three of the top 10 are X-Men books. Another victory for Krakoa.



    Of course, they'd make more sales if they had Hellion in their books.

    I'm not sure Marvel wants to send the anti-Krakoa brigade into communal cardiac arrest by adding even more reasons to buy the books, since they want so badly for this era to be unsuccessful.

    Are those in order of sales performance? And over what period? Weekly? Just curious.

    Well, it's sort of a weird case since there are so few X-books coming out this month. On top of that, X-Deaths is the only one moving the bigger plot along, and Secret X-Men is a one-shot with the X-Man you voted for but didn't win. New Mutants deserves to be up there, though.

    How much are digital sales compared to store sales? I feel like it was less, but that might have been pre-COVID.

    They are in order and the chart is updated weekly.

    This is a very good question. I feel like I’ve heard people say that digital isn’t nearly as much, but I haven’t seen any proof of that especially post-COVID.
