Marvel Dominates December 2016 sales

[Cloudman]

This book should not have relaunched, and issue 12 should not have been presented as an ending. That gave readers an excuse to bail and ignore the relaunch.

Exactly my thoughts. I think if Marvel had kept the series running, readers would have at least been impressed by their commitment to a relatively low-selling series and stuck it out a bit longer. As it is, Marvel have just driven it into the ground for the sake of a 1-issue sales spike. Plain daft.

some series had terrible month

49 35 Captain America Steve Rogers 7 $3.99 Marvel 48,505
63 46 Captain America Steve Rogers 8 $3.99 Marvel 38,610

i didn't expect this

That kind of drop for the series that's the basis for Marvel's next event is very worrisome. If people aren't into Secret Empire it won't be able to support the rest of the line.

Marvel dominated in a bad month. Not sure if that is good news.

Good News for DC, Bad News for Marvel.

And after all this, looks like no one on Marvel seems worried and they still are doing the same mistakes one after another or it is just that even with Animated Series, Movies and TV series, people are barely interested to begin to collect or be a fan of one determined book or characters.

Times changes.

Well, seeing Top 10 Sales, there is a majority of DC titles than Marvel, this can´t be bad for them.

They are worried, they are just putting on a poker face

Do they get Bonus Bucks from the one above all for being in the top 10 or something lol?

No, but it is just weird, and also probably things are more complex that it seems, really I can´t understand how all this sales thing work really.

36.7% of all the comic book money made was given to Marvel

29.47 of all the comic book money made was given to DC


Just keep it simple. Look at $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ That isn't manipulated by over shipping or returns. Its dollars

[Vic Vega]

Marvel having the Star Wars franchise, means that in large part they don't have to sweat the month to month stuff anymore.

How bad would the charts look for DC if DC didn't publish Batman and Justice League seemingly biweekly?

Okay but Star Wars seriously helps with that.

They definitely can do better.
