Top Selling Comics & Publisher Market Share: August 2014

Watchmen is still making the top ten list. That says something.

Slow but surely, IDW shall grow.

No sign of Raccoon.

I bought Watchmen this month :)

Another victory for Marvel! TAKE THAT DC! >:D

im sorry but all i saw on this was BATMAN SPIDER-MAN BATMAN SPIDER-MAN BATMAN related comics lol. Im glad Multiuniversity made it in the top 5. Hopefully DC will flat out leave that as a stand alone elseworld book and not Incorporate it into ANY New 52 books from here on out.

Also, way to go Harley. Hopefully they're no plans to reunite her with the Joker. In fact i'll be more impressed if DC tease that idea only to allow Harley to knock him on his a$$ and with emphatic NO

@hushofthewind: isn't it just a miniseries though? I thought it was only lasting like 10 issues.

Harley is in the top 10 month after month, and im so happy about that. The harley quinn on going is really a special book

This is accurate

Guardians of the Galaxy in top ten? Crazy what a movie can do.

@hushofthewind:

multiversity isnt a new 52 book, so you dont have to worry about any of that.

Wow Harley Quinn in Top 10. Oh btw Batman is now on more that 30 issues beat Spider-man issue 5 should prove something to comics industry that you don't need constant relaunch into issue no.1. Also it is funny how Harley Quinn beat every other heroes except Batman and Spidey of coz

Also people complaint Original Sin suck but they still buy it . This is why marvel keep doing bad events after events comics

Damn you've really gone over to the Marvel side now :P

It's a remarkably underrated company IMHO. TMNT is easily one of the best ongoings in the market, I hear their Transformers, Godzilla and Ghostbuster stuff is solid and they've got interesting creator owned work too like Locke and Key.

They aren't much behind unit share, they're only behind dollar share by a large margin and that's because Marvel charges more than DC so in a way Marvel fans lose and DC fans win :P

No Valiant in top ten again. This just goes on to show no matter how many good books you shell out , people will only care to buy Marvel & DC comics.

A dollar more for 10+ more pages which means more good content. I'd rather that than less pages of lesser content for a dollar less…so I think Marvel fans win :P

No surprise there.

Marvel has had the No.1 spot for Dollar share for over a two years now. (consecutively?)

and im pretty sure DC wont top them anytime soon imo. but single issues DC still dominates. Batman/Justice League/Superman are always in the top ten. and now we can include Morrison's Multiversity to it as well.

@rustyroy: yup no sign of rocket racoon. Maybe because people only buy issue #1 only for collectors to sell on e-bay or amazon in the future hoping that it can be next Action Comics #1 which is value 3.2 million dollar

Really? Because I only read Thor from Marvel and that has a lot less pages than Batman.

They might be winning some of the battles, but Marvel is still winning the war!

@j_hickmanisgod: oh Justice League comic is delay right ? No wonder Justice League comic is not in top 10 this week. Sigh

yes they have been for a while. 2+ years according to Diamond's records.

im still waiting for the day that Image comics breaks that 10% dollar/market share amount and then all will be well in life.
and then maybe DC n Marvel will learn a thing or two!

@lvenger: IDW really is underrated I their titles. TMNT is one of my most anticipated titles every month. Such a great book.

Also, sad everyone simply jumped on the Rocket #1 bandwagon and didn't get #2. It's such a fun book.

You see that Marvel? GOTG in at number 9? People still care about Richard Rider, bring him back!

Marvel will always be in the top because all their books are 4$ while DC has a lot of 3$ books. That's why I prefer DC more. MARVEL is more greedy than DC.

To each his own. I personally would rather pay a dollar more for near guaranteed great content than pay for a cheaper comic which I'm nearly guaranteed the company doesn't give a crap about it's own content. Marvel might be more greedy, but DC produces crap. You get what you pay for.

what the? where rocket raccoon lol i thought rocket was going stay on in the top ten for a while i guess i wrong also god dam Harley still the top ten

@arturocalakayvee: I still like Dc books more but i'm loving waht Marvel is doing and giving a lot of the characters solo books with solid writing and unique art.

@arturocalakayvee: yeah great content....for example ? Iron Man comics not so good, Captain America people seem 50-50 about Rick Remender direction, Thor now will become female which Thor fans doesn't like, Wolverine will die soon which is publicity stunt gimmick, Spider-man people still 50-50 about Dan Slott butcher Spider supporting characters like Black Cat etc. All Marvel big guns not doing so well. Meanwhile DC big gun like Batman is positively receive, Superman which is on Geoff Johns which is positive receive, people love Azarello Wonder Woman, Justice League comics is top 10 comics sales while Avengers is not even in top 20 for months after months. All DC big guns is safe hand compare to Marvel big guns

-insert obligatory valiant comment-

i pay more attention to units sold. because of that fact.

and still Marvel sells more units. idc whichever ones on top tbh. literally 80% of my pull atm is dark horse and image titles so.

but yes what you say is 99.99% true.

i agree.

im pulling Rai, Archer, and was pulling Bloodshot Corps.

im doing my part. what about everyone else? hahaha teamwork is needed

@j_hickmanisgod: I'm reading everyone of their books >_>

If I'm not wrong, IDW is basically now the go-to company for licensed comics, taking over from Dark Horse which in turn took over from Marvel for that spot.

@rustyroy: lol knew a Batfan reeling from last month would appear.

That was to please you specifically.

@rustyroy: d'awh, I'm flattered.

It is disappointing that Rocket's extreme popularity was temporary but it's to be expected I guess. Maybe he'll get a more sustained boost after the cartoon and a second movie.

It really is, I have yet to read TMNT #37 with Shredder and Kraang but I hear it's really good.

I guess it is. Technically they do have the most licensed comic book properties out there and I can't think of anyone else that has more licensed comics than IDW have.

Love me some Dark Horse.

Don't be, you deserved it.

@rustyroy: ye ye, fought hard for dat

Yup and I enjoyed it very much.

Spidey has 3 books in the top 10. Pretty impressive!

Lmao. That raccoon is nowhere to be found.

80% of my pull is Image/Dark Horse/Valiant comics.

so your generalization is wrong.

like most generalizations.

I'm choosing to believe that the only reason Batman took the top spot is because the artist from Black Science drew it.

What? Don't look at me like that. Let a Black Science fanboy have his delusions! ;)

@vrakmul: @lvenger: If I remember from being surprised before, I think most of IDW's sales actually come from bronies.
