Here's a list from an Excel sheet I'm maintaining of the sales figures for each series in the New 52, for those who want to see how their favorite title is trending. The figures are taken from Diamond Comic Distributors (via Comichron), who keeps track of this sort of thing. In the following tables, assume the November issue is #25 unless otherwise noted. To make the chart easier to read, I put in the ranking for every fifth series.

Series in italics have already been cancelled and publish their final issues in January. Note that no issue of Superman Unchained came out in October; #4 was released November 6. Here are October numbers, the last month of regular sales.

No new issue of Justice League was published in November (Issue #25 comes out December 11).

Not counting the Forever Evil miniseries, the New 52 (or 46) sold 1,708,728 issues, a 5.27% gain from October (especially against a slight drop industry wide in sales). Keep in mind the missing issue of Justice League is another 95,000 issues or so missing, so the New 46 is still quite stable.

However Superman/Wonder Woman is not very stable. A drop is expected from the initial issue, but a drop of 36.6% is a steep loss. Unless Superman/Wonder Woman stabilizes, their title will drop out of the top ten next month, a love that threatens to turn sour for DC execs. The next couple months will show how viable their series is; staying above 30k by summer will be important. I'm projecting 48k sales next month and 11th place.

Looking at the middle range sellers, Justice League Dark is still riding strong on its Trinity War bump; it is still at 150% of its pre-War level of 25,000 issues sold. Catwoman had her mystery bump from last month cut in half, but she is still 5k issues above her recent trendline. Lastly, my Batwoman survived the creator chaos well, even gaining a small bump (of 300 issues, but I'll take it). Hopefully Kate continues to hold steady.

A weak month industry wide means Green Team limps its way back into the top 300, but as expected it set a new record low for the New 52. The rate of decline slowed down, suggesting that it's getting down to the core readers, but it cannot end soon enough for DC. The Movement is still ongoing, and it's coming down hard on top of Green Team, so the ultimate dud title may be The Movement's to lose. All-Star Western is also getting down into the capital D danger zone for cancellation; I expect Jonah Hex to be gone by next fall along with Movement and the rapidly disappearing Larfleeze. Batwing had a bump from the change of characters, but it's still way too low. He's lasted this long though, so I don't dare predict what'll happen to Batwing.

So what comes next month? How will Justice League 3000 do? (About 105k I think.) Will Superman/Wonder Woman avoid another steep loss? (I think so, although with a still over 10k drop.) Will Green Team fall back into the "additional titles reported" section? (Yep, LOL) See you all next month for the Christmas sales report!

Flash got a 10%~ boost and Green Arrow got a 20%~ boost!

Nice to see. Hope it continues.

Animal Man and Swamp Thing sales are still depressing, and its not gonna get better since the former is ending :(

Yeah, those were surprising. Was there anything new, or just a random bump?

Both were Zero year tie ins, lol.

"Need a boost in sales? Just associate yourself with Batman!"

That very small Batwoman bump makes me think a bunch of regular readers have dropped the series.

Yeah, and honestly I can't blame them. I'm still getting the series, but I already miss the old writing and art.

Good to see Supergirl getting a bump thanks to Krypton Returns I just hope they stick around for the creative team change.

@chisoxrox: Agreed. Considering the drop in quality of art and writing, the forced family angle, and the nothing special action story, I can imagine next months sales figures being considerably lower.

@chisoxrox: Thus my eyes deceive me again!? Is that harley quinn at #2!??

@lifeofvibe: Harley Quinn is at number 2! I am happy to see Harley's book doing well even if it isn't the Harley I like from the pre-New 52 days.

Come one All-Star Western! Pick it up!

Keep in mind guys that it is the first issue. Still, she ought to be able to stay in the top five next month, and the top ten for the foreseeable future.

That's what it is!

Sad to see Wonder Woman is still the worst seller of the core 7, her comic is awesome and she is boss.

QFT. That title is my favourite on my pull list given how consistently well written it is. Also a shame to see TMNT only reach 17,000 in sales since that's one of the best titles out there.

If I understood rightly, this is sales’ results of only printed/paper comics, without sales of digital ones?

Green Lantern sales are falling alarmingly...looks like Geoff Johns is missed quite a bit.

Always amazed how many comics Batman sells...way ahead of the others, although unchained holding up well.

True; unfortunately the people with the digital sales numbers don't release them to the public. As well, technically this is shipment numbers; if a comic sits on the store shelf forever it still gets counted.

Its annoying how Comixolgy don't realse there sales numbers. When ever you read an interview they always say they are increasing month in month out. And you would think DC and Marvel would love digital they charge for the same price as a regular book yet have none of the manufacturing costs they would just have pay Comixiolgy there cut which I imagine is the same as a retail store.

@sanohibiki: Yeah but print still out sell digital.

Yep, totally worth scrapping Hellblazer to replace it with a book that continues to drop in readership each month.

I doubt that the third issue of Superman\wonder woman will be more successful than second.

And I'm one of the few who's glad of that. A 30,000 drop in sales estimates is never a good thing for a series to experience on its second issue.

Sounds about right. I think we'll get a better estimate of the sales in the next few months, after some of the new readers who were "just taking a look" (without intending to buy the series regularly) begin to die out. Then we'll be left with the original readers who stuck with the series after Williams and Blackman left plus the new readers who decided to stick with the series after giving Andreyko a chance.

It seems to be quite common for a #1 to sell a good few more than #2 though, and #1 had 6 more variant covers.

True. It'll be interesting to see how the change has affected sales.

Oh man, do you think I should get Wonder Woman Vol. 3 sooner rather than later and Vol. 4 right off the presses?

@chisoxrox:

the people with the digital sales numbers don't release them to the public.

That’s kind of strange. Why cites with official license to sell comics wouldn’t release data on how many digital comics were downloaded from them? We can see how many printed comics were sold (probably) but we didn’t get to know eventual financial statistics.

@darkman61288:

Yeah but print still out sell digital.

You make it sound like printed and digital comics rivaling with each other for sales LOL. They complete each other. So far I saw how many printed comics were sold, but money from their digital versions should be accounted too (for example, Smallville title is purely digital, but its sells well). How really profitable all this comic sales – I still don’t have complete information.

@lvenger:

A 30,000 drop in sales estimates is never a good thing for a series to experience on its second issue.

Superman Unchained #2 dropped in sales in comparison with it first issue on approximately 90 000 units, Batman/Superman #2 dropped more than 58 000 copies. Is that also not a good thing for title to experience on its second issue?

@sanohibiki: Unchained had a safety net because it was still well within the 100,000s on sales estimates. The same cannot be said for Superman/Wonder Woman which has been relegated to the 60,000s zone.

How is Harley Quinn #2? Did someone accidentally order 114,211 more issues than they needed?

Also, why is Talon getting cancelled while Stormwatch, Katana, Vibe, Larfleeze, and The Movement are all allowed to survive? All it really needed was a Bat-book tie-in to bump it up to at least DC's top 30.

@jonny_anonymous: The May 2012 issue of Hellblazer only sold 9,426, so in DC's eyes, this is a win. And with the importance of Constantine in the New 52, it only makes sense that he'd get his own N52 series.

and yet that's about average sales for a mature Vertigo book, Helblazer has hovered around that mark for like the last 10 years and yet Constantine has been dropping every month

@rulerofthisuniverse: I think Stormwatch and Katana have been cancelled.

I am a little curious how do you estimate this safety net for such titles as Superman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Superboy (their sales results depress me, except in case of Superboy)? Are they dependant only on hardcore readers/fans?

Unchained may have dropped a significant amount from its first issue but it has consistently been in the top 5/top 10 of comic book sales and well over 100,000 in estimates all the time. It also depends on writer following as since Snyder is writing Unchained, his fans have flocked to the title whereas some Superman fans on here have expressed that they find Unchained unsatisfactory. The difference is for me is both the popularity of the character and word of mouth on the creative team.

@v_scarlotte_rose: Oh. The Movement still should have replaced Talon on the cancellation list, in my opinion. It's selling worse and Green Team was cancelled, so it'd only make sense. Talon should have at least had a Zero Year tie-in to bump up the sales...

@jonny_anonymous: It's dropping, but I really doubt it'll hit that zone any time soon. It sucks, but that's how it works...

@rulerofthisuniverse: I didn't read The Movement or The Green Team, but the early advertising made it look like they were like two sides to the same story, so it does seem a bit weird that only one of them has finished.

I don't read Talon either, so I don't know what a Zero Year issue could have been like, but they managed to push a load of titles into it, so it shouldn't have been too hard to include it. The sales boosts for Zero Year were between 1.5% and 46%, but I don't know how many new regular readers that'll actually bring to each series.

@v_scarlotte_rose: I never read either of the two, but from what I heard, they were pretty closely connected. Not sure why they both weren't cancelled.

They have tie-ins from everything from The Flash to Action Comics for a Batman event but they didn't include a Bat-title that's been having sales problems. It's really odd.

@rulerofthisuniverse: Maybe the creative team don't like doing tie-ins, kind of like the previous Batwoman team.

Katana , Vibe have been canceled it was Vibes last issue this week. I could have sworn Stormwatch was canceled as well.

@timelord: Stormwatch is cancelled too, hence the italics in my table.

As for Constantine, yeah he is getting low but he is still outside the bottom 10. DC seems to cancel 4 books at a time on average, so Constantine has a buffer of bad titles that should go before he would. As well, I'm thinking him being a former flagship Vertigo title will help him hang on. I expect him to still be around in 2015.

I agree.I was surprised that the comic in which Superman fights against the Apollo took the 20th place.

New numbers out Monday; here's the top 10 for December.

Superman/Wonder Woman is likely right on the edge of the top 10 for DC (Batman, FE, SU, JL, HQ, JLA, and then places 7 to 9 are likely Detective, Green Lantern, and Batman & ____).

@chisoxrox: die! superman/ww!!!

eat it!!!!

@chisoxrox:

I see that Batman defended his place in Trinity : )

Too bad about SuperWonder, but not really surprising. Still, SM/WW probably near the top 10 DC comics, so all ok for me.
