Indie Comics Month-to-Month Sales: March 2014 — Mark MIllar Makes His Mark

By Chris Rice

Hello, my name’s Chris, nice to meet you. For the last three years or so, I’ve been writing the indie chart under the nom de plume of Paul Mellerick, as for most of that time I was working for a certain well-known comic distributor here in the UK. They can be assured that I didn’t use any proprietary knowledge, but it still could have been seen as a conflict of interest. I’ve been in the comics retail industry for over 20 years, was comics buyer for Forbidden Planet and Gosh! Comics, and UK readers might conceivably recognise my name from the Networks column in Comics International, which I wrote for some years.

I chose the name Paul Mellerick in tribute to a friend of mine, who died 15 years ago. He was a computer gaming journalist, and actually holds a small part in the history of comics, being the man who first commissioned a piece of writing from Kieron Gillen. Incidentally Kieron was one of the few people who was aware of all of this, as I thought he might get a bit of a shock if he ever happened upon the column.

Anyway, I’m not working in comics currently, so I thought I’d come out, as it were. It wouldn’t surprise me if I end up back in comics retail at some point, but for the moment, I shall be keeping my arm in with this column. On with the show…

Pretty much as you were this month, the usual suspects punctuated by new books from Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, the Ultimates team split up for the moment, and the return of Buffy. Elsewhere the nineties’ best noir series returns and there are a few encouraging upswings in the sales of some mid-selling titles.

150 indie titles charted in the top 300, down on last month’s 155. Overall sales were up at 1,655,816, compared to last month’s 1,568,427 and the average sales this month are 11,038, up on last month’s 10,118. 23 titles went up in sales and 107 went down, with the rest made up of new entries and specials.

Image have an excellent month with an 11.38% dollar share and an 11.04% market share, while Dark Horse continue in second place with a 6.19% dollar share and 5.72% market share. IDW have a 5.29% dollar share and a 4.51% market share, Dynamite have a 2.61% dollar share and 2.56% market share and Boom! have a 1.99 % dollar share and 1.84% market share.

UK and European sales from Diamond UK are not reported in this chart.

03/2014: The Walking Dead #124 - 64,659 (+0.3%)

Everything is super-stable at the moment, although things might slow down a little, now that the TV show is off-air again.

38. The Star Wars (Dark Horse)

09/2013: The Star Wars #1 - 78,467
10/2013: The Star Wars #2 - 56,165 (-28.4%)
11/2013: The Star Wars #3 - 50,346 (-10.4%)

12/2013: The Star Wars #0 - 40,531
01/2014: The Star Wars #5 - 42,686 (-9.7%)
02/2014: -
03/2014: The Star Wars #6 - 41,237 (-3.4%)

I’m really amazed that sales have remained this high. I found it nigh-on unreadable.

45. Serenity (Dark Horse)

01/2014: Leaves on the Wind #1 - 47,285 (54,392)
02/2014: Leaves on the Wind #2 - 38,630 (-18.3%)
03/2014: Leaves on the Wind #3 - 37,516 (-2.9%)

Sales settling down very well. Will Dark Horse be able to continue to resist the urge to put out 2 or 3 Serenity books, to replace the departing Star Wars license?

46. Jupiter's Legacy (Image)

04/2013: Jupiter's Legacy #1 - 105,437 
05/2013: -
06/2013: Jupiter's Legacy #2 - 48,217 (-54.3%)

03/2014: Jupiter's Legacy #4 - 36,918 (-15.6%)

55. Starlight (Image)

04/2014: Starlight #1 - 34,080

Two Mark Millar books in a row, the starpower of Frank Quitely keeping Legacy just above his collaboration with the under-rated Goran Parlov, a riff on the Buck Rogers/ Flash Gordon-style space-hero.

68. Star Wars (Dark Horse)

03/2013: Star Wars #3 - 45,522

====

04/2013: Star Wars #4 - 45,019 (-1.1%)

01/2014: Star Wars #13 - 31,543 (-4.7%)
02/2014: Star Wars #14 - 30,828 (-2.3%)
03/2014: Star Wars #15 - 29,967 (-2.8%)

No announcement yet on when the Dark Horse Star Wars titles will cease, but presumably they must be starting to develop end-strategies for these books. Still doing very respectably.

72. East of West (Image)

03/2013: East of West #1 - 49,518 (64,284)
04/2013: East of West #2 - 41,838 (-15.5%)
05/2013: -
06/2013: East of West #3 - 39,441 (-5.7%)
07/2013: East of West #4 - 43,228 (+9.6%)

02/2014: -
03/2014: East of West #10 - 28,853 (-3.4%)

Slipping a bit, but still doing very well overall.

75. Buffy TVS (Dark Horse)

03/2008: Buffy the Vampire Slayer #12 - 88,930
03/2009: Buffy the Vampire Slayer #23 - 64,108

03/2012: Buffy TVS Season 9 #7 - 29,908

05/2013: Buffy TVS Season 9 #21 - 21,701 (-0.9%)
06/2013: Buffy TVS Season 9 #22 - 21,194 (-2.3%)
07/2013: Buffy TVS Season 9 #23 - 20,768 (-2.0%)
08/2013: Buffy TVS Season 9 #24 - 20,584 (-0.9%)
09/2013: Buffy TVS Season 9 #25 - 20,392 (-0.9%)
03/2013: Buffy TVS Season 10 #1 - 27,851 (+36.6%)

Buffy returns, a decent bump but likely to drop back to the same level as the last series before too long.

77. Magnus Robot Fighter (Dynamite)

03/2014: Magnus Robot Fighter #1 - 27,497

A decent launch number, below Turok’s debut last month, but not bad at all.

92. Afterlife with Archie (Archie)

10/2013: Afterlife With Archie #1 - 41,533 (47,195)
11/2013: Afterlife With Archie #2 - 19,188 (-53.8%)

02/2014: -
03/2014: Afterlife With Archie #4 - 24,165 (-0.4%)

Still doing stellar numbers, and very stable.

94. Real Heroes (Image)

03/2014: Real Heroes #1 - 23,716

Bryan Hitch launched his first solo book, to reasonable numbers. Remember he probably makes more from this than any 100,000 selling book from Marvel.

102. Sex Criminals (Image)

09/2013: Sex Criminals #1 - 37,893
10/2013: Sex Criminals #2 - 22,510 (-40.6%)

02/2014: -
03/2014: Sex Criminals #5 - 22,593 (+0.7%)

Also very stable, and receiving rave reviews. The new collection may even see a rise on the next issue.

107. Velvet (Image)

10/2013: Velvet #1 - 41,897
11/2013: -
12/2013: Velvet #2 - 25,549 (-39.0%)
01/2014: Velvet #3 - 23,177 (-9.3%)
02/2014: -
03/2014: Velvet #4 - 21,412 (-7.6%)

This on the other hand is not holding up quite so well, but the drops are starting to slow down.

110. Lazarus (Image)

05/2013: Lazarus #1 - 48,030
07/2013: Lazarus #2 - 27,143 (31,470)(-43.5%)

02/2014: Lazarus #6 - 21,198 (-6.6%)
03/2014: Lazarus #7 - 20,150 (-4.9%)

Also dropping a little quickly.

112. My Little Pony Friends Forever (IDW)

01/2014: MLP Friends Forever #1 - 23,370 
02/2014: MLP Friends Forever #2 - 20,676 (-11.5%)
03/2014: MLP Friends Forever #3 - 20,038 (-3.1%)

Levelling out nicely.

121. Deadly Class (Image)

01/2014: Deadly Class #1 - 34,572
02/2014: Deadly Class #2 - 21,159 (-38.8%)
03/2014: Deadly Class #3 - 18,536 (-12.4%)

Still dropping but an average drop at this stage.

134. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW)

03/2012: TMNT #8 - 18,775
03/2013: TMNT #20 - 16,084

02/2014: TMNT #31 - 14,684 (-2.0%)
03/2014: TMNT #32 - 15,040 (+2.4%)

A nice little increase this month.

02/2014: The Manhattan Projects #18 - 15,076 (-3.6%)

02/2014: Fatale #20 - 13,862 (-11.8%)
03/2014: Fatale #21 - 14,799 (+6.8%)

A nice increase as the book heads towards the end at #24.

137. The Veil (Dark Horse)

03/2014: Veil #1 - 14,445

A new, rather odd, crime book from the increasingly prolific Greg Rucka. I’m glad to see him back on a regular basis.

138, 214. Stray Bullets (Image)

03/2014: Stray Bullets #41 - 8,297
03/2014: Stray Bullets The Killers #1 - 14,208

One of my personal highlights, the return of David Lapham’s amazing crime book. Left dangling for over a decade, the last issue of the last series is finally released alongside the first issue of the new series. I can’t recommend this series highly enough, I can still remember how blown away I was by the first issue, almost 20 years ago!

139. Manifest Destiny (Image)

11/2013: Manifest Destiny #1 - 17,371
12/2013: Manifest Destiny #2 - 12,801 (-26.3%)

02/2014: Manifest Destiny #4 - 13,291 (+10.4%)
03/2014: Manifest Destiny #5 - 14,152 (+6.5%)

Strong word of mouth is pushing up sales very well.

144. Adventure Time (Boom!)

03/2012: Adventure Time #2 - 11,329

02/2014: Adventure Time #25 - 14,191 (-3.8%)

Slowly spiraling downwards.

145. Tales of Honor (Image)

03/2014: Tales of Honor #1 - 13,827

A spin-off of David Weber’s popular Honor Harrington series of sci-fi war books.

146. Tomb Raider (Dark Horse)

02/2014: Tomb Raider #1 - 18,486
03/2014: Tomb Raider #2 - 13,636 (-26.2%)

An average second-issue drop. Not especially encouraging sales though.

148. Sovereign (Image) 

03/2014: Sovereign #1 - 13,204

An interesting fantasy book by Chris Roberson with lovely art from Paul Maybury, who I suspect is a big Paul Pope fan.

151. Invincible (Image)

03/2014: Star Wars Legacy II #13 - 12,671 (-2.7%)

Two of DH’s mid-range Star Wars books, both slowly slipping away.

155. Unity (Valiant)

02/2014: Unity #4 - 10,644 (-19.8%)
03/2014: Unity #5 - 12,268 (+15.3%)

I have no idea why this issue’s suddenly jumped, unless we somehow lost some of last month’s sales?

156. X-Files Season 10 (IDW)

03/2014: Crossed Badlands #50 - 8,685 (+48.6%)

A large jump as Garth Ennis returns for the anniversary, and a look at Patient Zero. Not as big a jump as the last time he came back though, at #25.

208. BPRD (Dark Horse)

03/2013: Hell on Earth #105 Cold Day in Hell - 10,772

02/2014: Mercenary Sea #1 - 10,728
03/2014: Mercenary Sea #2 - 8,509 (-20.7%)

The drops are slowing down, while a special reprinting digital stories does pretty well.

217. Zero (Image)

09/2013: Zero #1 - 20,352
10/2013: Zero #2 - 9,847 (-51.6%)

Word of mouth maybe catching up with this excellent spy book.

218. Apocalypse Al #1 (Image)

02/2014: Apocalypse Al #1 - 14,055
03/2014: Apocalypse Al #2 - 8,000 (-43.1%)

A steep fall, but pretty much on par with the other releases on this imprint.

Crossing over with Archer and Armstrong, and gaining a bit of a boost.

02/2013: Secret #5 - 8,394 (-14.8%)
03/2013: Secret #6 - 7,864 (-6.3%)

A much better drop this month, maybe finally leveling out.

224. The Bunker (Oni)

02/2014: The Bunker #1 - 10,378
03/2014: The Bunker #2 - 7,864 (-24.2%)

A reasonable second-issue drop, as good word of mouth swirls around this intriguing book.

227. Abe Sapien (Dark Horse )

04/2013: Abe Sapien Dark & Terrible #1 - 11,783 (+17.2%)
05/2013: Abe Sapien Dark & Terrible #2 - 10,445 (-11.4%)

02/2014: Sonic Universe #60 - 7,902 (-2.7%)
03/2014: Sonic Universe #61 - 7,715 (-2.4%)

As with the parent book, returning to regular levels.

230. Lobster Johnson (Dark Horse)

05/2013: Satan Smells a Rat #1 - 9,846
07/2013: Scent of Lotus #1 - 9,586 (-2.6%)

02/2014: Get Lobster #1 - 8,266 (-6.5%)
03/2014: Get Lobster #2 - 7,694 (-6.9%)

Falling fast, and getting no boost at all from the mini-series format.

232. Doc Savage (Dynamite)

12/2013: Doc Savage #1 - 13,631
01/2014: Doc Savage #2 - 9,000 (-34.0%)
02/2014: Doc Savage #3 - 8,214 (-8.7%)
03/2014: Doc Savage #4 - 7,561 (-7.9%)

Still a little way to go before this finds its level.

233. Auteur (Oni Press)

03/2014: Auteur #1 - 7,546

Apparently this is pretty good. Haven’t read it yet.

234. Legends of Red Sonja (Dynamite)

11/2013: Legends Of Red Sonja #1 - 11,734
12/2013: Legends Of Red Sonja #2 - 9,116 (-22.3%)

02/2014: Legends Of Red Sonja #4 - 7,673 (-4.9%)
03/2014: Legends Of Red Sonja #5 - 7,498 (-2.3%)

Last issue as sales flatten out.

235. Ghost (Dark Horse)

03/2013: Ghost #4 - 6,899

====

12/2013: Ghost #1 - 9,805 (+42.1%)
01-02/2014: -
03/2014: Ghost #2 - 7,412 (-24.4%)

Not especially encouraging sales.

02/2014: Shadowman #15 - 7,239 (-4.2%)
03/2014: Shadowman #16 - 7,189 (-0.7%)

This, on the other hand, is pretty solid this month.

239. Regular Show (Boom!)

05/2013: Regular Show #1 - 38,466
06/2013: Regular Show #2 - 19,507 (-49.3%)

Still falling.

240. Monster & Madman (IDW)

03/2014: Monster & Madman #1 - 7,065

Rather a pretty new monster book from Steve Niles, Frankenstein’s monster meets Jack the Ripper.

241. Game of Thrones (Dynamite)

03/2013: Game of Thrones #13 - 8,792

====

04/2013: -

02/2014: -
03/2014: Game of Thrones #19 - 7,043 (-6.3%)

I didn’t realize until recently, but this comic version is still covering events from the first season of the TV show and the first book. This could continue for a while, so when does it become unprofitable to print?

244. Beasts of Burden (Dark Horse)

08/2012: BoB Neighborhood Watch One-Shot - 7,418
03/2014: BoB Gatherers One-Shot - 6,915

01/2014: Welcome to Christmasland #3 - 7,967 (-10.0%)
02/2014: Welcome to Christmasland #4 - 7,404 (-7.1%)
03/2014: Welcome to Christmasland #5 - 6,874 (-7.2%)

Two of my favourite books, both should be selling more goddamit!

246. The Massive (Dark Horse)

03/2013: Massive #10 - 9,795

====

04/2013: Massive #11 - 9,661 (-1.4%)

02/2014: Massive #20 - 6,976 (-5.6%)
03/2014: Massive #21 - 6,841 (-1.9%)

This looks like it’s pretty much found its level. Also not selling what it should be.

247. Rover Red Charlie (Avatar)

12/2013: Rover Red Charlie #1 - 9,327
01/2014: Rover Red Charlie #2 - 6,744 (-27.7%)
02/2014: Rover Red Charlie #3 - 6,770 (+0.4%)
03/2014: Rover Red Charlie #4 - 6,793 (+0.3%)

This has been deservedly stable, I’m enjoying it enormously. Slightly dreading the last issue, which I suspect will see the death of at least one of the main characters.

249. Saviours (Image)

12/2013: Saviours #1 - 17,894
01/2014: Saviours #2 - 8,174 (-54.3%)
03/2014: Saviours #3 - 6,733 (-17.6%)

An average third-issue drop.

250. Mega Man (Archie) 

03/2013: Mega Man #23 - 5,339

====

04/2013: Mega Man #24 - 11,173 (+109.3%)

All figures on this chart are estimates for comics sold by Diamond to direct market retailers. They include reorders that shipped in the same month. Books shipping in the first week of a month will have more time for reorders to appear than ones shipping in the last week of the month, when reorders will slip to the following month.

Hello, my name’s Chris, nice to meet you. For the last three years or so, I’ve been writing the indie chart under the nom de plume of Paul Mellerick, as for most of that time I was working for a certain well-known comic distributor here in the UK. They can be assured that I didn’t use any proprietary knowledge, but it still could have been seen as a conflict of interest. I’ve been in the comics retail industry for over 20 years, was comics buyer for Forbidden Planet and Gosh! Comics, and UK readers might conceivably recognise my name from the Networks column in Comics International, which I wrote for some years.
