is there a accurate sales chart for marvel and dc

[fin5]

just like I did for the x-men thread

[Englehart Humperdinck]

Comichron.com has sales charts up to October 2020.

If what you're looking for is an accurate representation of how many comics were purchased by consumers in print and digital, that doesn't exist at all. I would imagine Marvel and DC have some idea for that but I also suspect when it comes to print copies, they don't actually have 100% certain knowledge either. If you're looking for how many print copies were ordered by stores with the hopes of selling, Comichron is very reliable and gives you a good idea of Marvel and DC's views on the profitability of each book since 100% of their print profits come from when the book is ordered and it doesn't matter how many of those books are actually bought by consumers as long as the stores order more of them.

Slight caveat: if the Comichron charts are using the information provided by Diamond Distribution, that doesn't include sales of comic books outside of the U.S. (and maybe parts of Canada).

Diamond only distribute to UK and Canada, beyond the USA. Other countries ,some use Panini to reprint.

[Marvel Wars]

No I live in France and Panini makes comics in french not english but we also get the american floppies/TPB/Omnibus/...

Panini does translations, and for its english editions it only prints complementary tpbs and anthologies to what DC already does.
Panini does best of books and softcover omni that DC doesn't or reprints tpb that DC doesn't anymore.

Does anyone know why comichron hasn't updated since October? That's five months, I remember they used to have the numbers much earlier.

[Englehart Humperdinck]

According to Comichron, Diamond hasn't released its full rankings for November yet.

[Iron Maiden]

Yeah, it makes me wonder if the situation about getting info from Diamond is one of the reasons why Marvel is leaving them. Disorganization since the pandemic perhaps? I do give them credit for making that info available and I wonder if that will no longer be the case once Marvel switches to Penguin/Random House

[fin5]

Does anyone remember Marvel month to Month at the beat.I loved that

And even the translations by Panini are (at least in my Country) often directly published as TPB, they are only publishing very few titles as floppies and even with those they seem to often to US floppies in one translated one.
