Jesus fricking chirst. 1% carrying 2/3rds of their sales? That means Japanese manga sells 200 times as much as American comics. No, not 200%, 200 times aka 20,000%!!!
Yep. The state is the Western comic book industry is atrocious. No one but boomers cares about comics any more.
Hell, even graphic novels are becoming more popular.
>Wells and Zdarsky shitshows sell higher than Hulk, Daredevil, G.O.D.S., Thor, Avengers, World's Finest, Moon Knight, and Fantastic Four kino
why are comic book fans like this?
>Amazing Spider-Man #39 >Disney variant >Disney 1:100 variant >1:25 Lee Garbett variant >Spider-Man suit 2 variant >Gleason foil variant >Ryan Stegman wraparound variant >Sean Galloway Saturday Morning variant
And if they got counted by ICV2, East Side Comics / KRS Comics / Mutant Beaver Comics / The Comic Mint had a retailer exclusive variant, where the cover by Alan Quah was Deadpool referencing Amazing Spider-Man #300's cover.
Unknown Comic Books / 616 Comics / Comic Traders / Antihero Gallery also has a retailer exclusive Lesley Li variant with Black cat on the cover.
>Superior at #9
And moron here thought that it was canceled

>no Dark Horse
How long untill that Company gets IDW'd
Their bread and butter is graphic novels, not comics.

>Last Ronin still in the top 10
Damn, impressive
If Last Ronin keeps doing well then it'll probably keep IDW afloat
Meanwhile it turns out the reason Millar moved his stuff to Dark Horse is because Netflix has some kind of deal with Dark Horse
I thought Millar already had a deal with Netflix?
He does, that's why Netflix wanted him to move his books to Dark Horse
Netflix has a deal with Dark Horse and Netflix bought the rights to all of Millar's creator-owned stuff, that's not mutually exclusive
Why would they, they make their money from manga and art books
Dark Horse has manga so they're safe
lol might as well sell nothing but manga at that point.
They would be cucked by half of their profits going to Japanese companies
>1% of output = 1% of work
>66% of sales
>33% of profits
Anon is right, they should just sell manga at this point and cut 99% of their costs/manpower.
Then why not start making comics LIKE manga? You know; comics Americans actually want to read?
they just got Millarworld so that and Hellboy i guess these days

Zoomers and alphas (alphers?) love manga.
They don't suffer the same amount of licensing bloat as IDW did
>Spider-Boy number one seller
Based.
I, for one, kneel to our new shotacon overlords.
Gold: Marvel Comics - 32
Silver: DC Comics - 12
Bronze: Image Comics - 5
4th Place: Vault Comics - 1

There is an Unknown Comics retailer variant of Spider-Gwen by Nathan Szerdy
the people want pictures of spider-man.
Either that or the Disney covers
>Superman sales being so shit
Wdym he had 1 book in the top 50 (#45 to be exact) that's pretty good for a Superman title
Batman and Robin fell hard
Bleeding cool chart is different, or is that the december one?
The Bleeding Cool different because it goes by week and not month like ICV2 does
ICV2 samples 3000 stores over the course of a month
Bleeding Cool samples 144 stores for each week
Chances of this industry dying permanently?
Either Disney or Warner deciding to shut down their comic division
I heard those don't really lose money so it won't happen
Frick
is this like the steam hardware survey where it's not actually representative of the market but it's the most referred to by online arguers ?
It's based on monthly survey's of reseller orders. The real numbers are company secrets they want to withhold from investors.
where's spawn
any shills with the top 200?
