Top 50 Comic Sales - March 2024
now post TPBs, hardcover, omnibus and other collection editions.
Quick rundown:
>Manga sales: LOTS
>Comic sales: NONE
Best-selling manga are shit too. I just want good stuff.
Marvel's only method is printing as many #1s as possible
I’m legitimately disappointed that the web of issue sold so well
>No Superman
So he's back to being a B-lister...
Action comics is at 47, so that’s something I guess
>Marvel publishes more shit than DC
Congrats?
There's a top 200 available for paying subscribers. The top 50 is the decent selling tier. As the other guy noted, Superman was one of the on-goings that didn't make the top 50 this month.
Yes, and...?
And I don't think DC is publishing less than Marvel per se.
Miles morales is on the top 50. Superman isnt. Miles is considered a failure. Superman is considered an unsinkable success.
>success
Superman hasn't been a success since the 2000s when Kelley/Loeb and MoA were on the books.
The fact that he only has two titles has shown the depth of the mismanagement of Superman under the previous publisher. Previous them, he had 4/5 monthly titles in the 90s. If anything Superman is a massive failure compared to Miles.
Superman hasn't been success since Crisis destroyed him and what made him popular and replaced him Post Crisis with concept that just does not work for character. A "grounded" Superman as in one introduced to us by John Byrne and redefined by writers such as Dan Jurgens Karl Kesel and Kelly Simone simply goes against everything that Superman is so is it any reason that being "Grounded" is why character no longer "Takes off" ?
Instead of fighting gangs on streets, gangsters trying to take over his city, while juggling a wife and kids, the guy should be alone and single, saving the world time and time again from apes invading city on the back of dinosaurs, octopuses from space wearing jet packs and their army of human robot soldiers with goldfish bowls helmets, or teaming up with Hawkman fighting a giant man with planet Thangarr and another giant man with planet Krypton for head as The Daily Planet lays in path of their oncoming destruction. Instead of being embarassed by ridiculousness of character they should embrace it. That how you make Superman successful and popular again. Frick moden comics !
Kelly and Loeb 's take wasn't grounded. That one had Imperiex, Zod, Emperor Joker, reintroduced Krypto, turned Metropolis into a smartcity using Brainiac tech and had Superman fighting the Elite.
I don't even know why you are namedropping Simone since she had barely a fill-in run for Infinite Crisis. I guess you are one of the terminally online who never reads comics and who thinks she's famous because she has internet clout or something.
The post-Kelly ones really embraced the fantastical. Johns brought back the Legion into Superman's history for example and had Brainiac bottling worlds again, Morrison did his thing for New 52 that featured 5D imps, Superdoom and battling across space and time.
The problem is these fantastical elements didn't move the needle in regards to the sales. If anything the down to earth stuff helped Superman reached the apex of his post-Crisis Sales success with 4 monthly titles. The reintroduction of the pre-Crisis fantasy thing didn't do anything. It only made sales worse.
Turned out there's probably more of an audience for Gangbuster, Bloodsport and Luthor as an evil businessman running metropolis.
Marvel has always put out at least a third more comics than DC. They also charge more per issue on average.
No one normal gives a frick about comics or there failing shops.
No one wants to read about Superman's homosexual son or Batman's entourage of trans author stand-ins
Holy shit i thought dc was more popular
No? DC hasn’t been popular in a long time. It is carried by Batman.
DC has been floundering since Didio nuked Rebirth.
-"Bendis is Coming"
-Death Metal
-5G/Future State
-Dark Crisis
Anything outside of Batman is dead because of that bald wienersucker.
Yeah Rebirth is the last time DC seemed solid. And like all their initiatives they ran it to the ground and never really gave it any closure. I know most here hate Johns, but a DC run by him would have been solid imo.
You idiots think these fake ass charts mean anything. Go around REAL random people and ask if they read a single comic on this list. They’ll have no idea what the frick you’re talking about. I beg most either don’t care about superheroes or they only watch anime.
>DC: 8 titles
euthanize dc. they are suffering.
It's no longer the Big 2, it's the Big 1.
>Ultimate and Spectacular BTFO'ing ASM
>people still buying ASM over literally anything else
>nobody wants to read about Mary Jane as a superhero after Paulgate
>people are buying Zdarsky's Batman over Williamson's Batman and Robin which isn't even on the list
>the absolute state of DC in general
neither is Detective on the list,
the main BAtman book will always sell better compared to any of the spin-offs
To be fair, Detective Comics is actually good, which means it has to sell like ass.
>Marvel
>11 new number 1's
>11 majorly needless X titles
>10 majorly needless Spider-Man titles
>the absolute state of Marvel in general
You're right though, DC just needs to release more fluff. Sadly though they took all the alphabet trash Marvel let go so that wouldn't work out either
Cope! DC stands for dead company, not even batman can save it
Batman isn’t selling either. No one reads Batman comics. His last cartoons were flops and so is his upcoming one. His last Amazon special flopped horribly too.
NPC seething again
The only one suffering are capeshit b***hes.
>muh sales
All of them are shit
If they were suffering you wouldn't be continuously seething about it as usual, NPC
With or without these posts, capeshit gays hate each other anyways.
>Williamson's Batman and Robin which isn't even on the list
Damian is an awful lead character. So no one wanting to read his book makes sense.
Damian's fine. The book just has an incredibly awful artist that killed any hope of it being a big seller.
Damian is one of the most cringe characters in the history of comics.
>timgay hands typed this
does it gross you out that you are running defense for a homo?
You read capeshit. You’re a homosexual too. You support a homosexual company.
Damien works best as the sour puss to balance out Dickbats or Jon Kent superboy, without either of those he’s just a waste of space
You can believe that, but in the last 13 years we've had Batman and Robin, Robin: Son of Batman, Super Sons, Robin, and now Batman and Robin again. He sells enough books when the art is good.
Tim is basically an embarassing footnote thanks to Damian and Bernard.
They let Damian rail him too? Jesus, DC.
>Last Ronin
Woo
All comics are dead. They only exist because of their daddy companies. Remove WB and Disney and DC/Marvel would’ve shut down years ago. None of these comics are selling.
I disagree. Without WB/Disney I think DC and Marvel as Privately owned companies as Marvel was, would be more innovative, open to taking risks and doing things that interested fans if for nothing else, survival. Disney makes the company very complacent. Because Disney controls them, doesn't really need the comic division and won't allow it to doing anything.
Marvel was at it's best before they were bought out by Disney. They've been pretty rough since. A few decent titles but company as a whole, poor.
Lol
Reading comics means you’re a schizo whose shunned in public spaces.
All these comics are cancelation tier. Funny how you homosexuals act like these shitty stories being on a made up list means anything when they don’t sell.
Why bother coming here if you think this? I'm not hanging out on magazine forums telling them their form is dead. Kek. Imagine being this much of a troll.
They would still make money licensing the character for merchandising and other media like tv/cartoons/games. Disney makes billions off of that.
The publishing is a drop in the pocket compared to that.
>DC: 8 titles
It's joever DC sisters we lost to the Marvel Chads
>No mutant menace
Retconning kamala is going to pay off any day now guys
>oh boy 5 Image titles in the top 50 what a good time to be a fan of creator owned co-
Oh... well... good for Feral?
What's the problem?
Not a single good comic. This makes it seem like no current good comics exist.
Why is Thundercats so high? That book is mediocre.
More like Down of DC
Where are the total sales?
There are none. We haven't had them for years.
Optimistically number one is over 100k 2 though 10 is probably from 90k to 70k 11 though 25 is probably around 60k to 40k 25 through 50 is about 35k to 30k then 50 to 100 is around 25k to 10k. Nothing beyond 100 is over 4 digits
Don't listen to this idiot
We have no idea what the sales are and been confirmed by people who write the comics themselves that the charts aren't accurate.
That’s roughly what the sales used to look like when we HAD numbers anon.
They’re talking about in the present, not the past.
Very true and the rumor of no books hitting 100k a few months ago seems like it could be true. But remember that it was said that Ultimate spider-man 3 outsold the issue of amazing that came out that week by double, so it’s not unreasonable to think that means it hit 100k in sales. And hell ALL THREE ISSUES are in the top 50 this month despite the first issue being out for three months already
Marvel and DC stopped producing sales data because it was so bad it scared off investors.
This. Not a single I know in real life cares about capeshit comicbooks.
>ComicHub
Want to try that again?
that trash ass batman book being so high is shameful
