Thanks Canucked for volunteering.
The complete estimated comic book sales figures for September 2015 are in (please note this list only details those comics sold to North American Comics Shops as reported by Diamond). I’ve listed below the Marvel OHC/Omnibus/MMW’s as well as the larger TPB collections such as the Epic, Ultimate and Complete lines that made the list (position, title, est. sales).
83. Shield By Lee And Kirby Complete Collection - 1,526
102. Marvel Masterworks Daredevil HC Vol. 9 - 1,281
106. Incredible Hulk Epic Collection Ghost of the Past - 1,230
107. All New X-Men OHC Vol. 2 - 1,207
110. Deadpool By Daniel Way Complete Collection Vol. 1 - 1,173
117. Avengers By Jonathan Hickman OHC Vol. 2 - 1,143
127. Monster of Frankenstein TPB - 1,047
143. Luke Cage Vol. 1 Second Chances TPB - 953
190. Miles Morales Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimate Collection Vol. 2 - 755
No Omnibuses this month as opposed to four Omnibuses last month, two of which we now know didn’t even make the Top 350 and moved less than 350 units i.e. “Marvel Firsts: The 1990s Omnibus” and “Ultimate Marvel Omnibus Vol. 1”. Let’s hope Marvel take note and give us some Omnibuses we really need. For example, Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 2 as opposed to Ultimate Marvel Vol. 2.
Wow with omnibus sales that low I'm a little shocked Marvel didn't just cancel them. They are pretty ill conceived though I'm also a little shocked stuff like that even gets green lit to begin with.
Still hoping for new avengers vol 2 omni since the ohcs are sk hard to find now.
The "#1...?" in the thread title is throwing me off. Regardless, thanks for keeping things updated.
I think we should add cheap-comics.com to the front page.
It's the UK/European equivalent to some of rhe big US comic sites, has great sales/deals, really good trackable posting and a great level of customer service.
I know the majority of posters are US based, but we dont need to be so US-centric in our shopping recommendations where we know of great sites.
Just my two pence at the start of our new home thread...

I agree. Cheap-comics cant compete with US pricing (no European shop can) but customer service is great.
I just put that to make it seem different while the old thread was still at the top of the list. I told the mods it was cool to change and they did. They're good guys.
I know nothing about it or it's sales. The original list is from Krisis. If you want to type something up about and retailers missed and their discounts, I will gladly add it to the OP.
To those of you who like my bad jokes; you are the wind beneath my wings.
The Wicked + The Divine. TMNT. Uncanny Avengers. Midnighter. IXth Generation. Daredevil. Morning Glories. Street Fighter. Fables. Uncanny X-Men. Bloodshot. Invincible. Ninjak. Mockingbird.
What's the material like in the Avenging Archer Hawkeye collection?
Did Marvel not learn with The Women of Marvel and the Marvel Now omnibuses? Look for Marvel Firsts 1990's Omnibus and Ultimate Marvel Omnibus to be cleared out late next year when inventory on them is barely moving. They would have done better filling those slots with reprints of titles like Silver Surfer or Daredevil by Bendis or Brubaker or new ones like Alpha Flight and New Mutants
You do have to wonder who in the Marvel Collected Editions Dept is at the top and ultimately approving these bad Omni's over&over&over again.
How many bad examples need there be: Women of Marvel, Marvel Now, Ultimate Marvel vol.1, Marvel Firsts 90's & Powers.
Even niche character Omnis that seem to have a narrow appeal sell decent: Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, Young Avengers, New Warriors.....
