Comixology’s Submit portal is a way for independent and self published digital comics to get onto the largest digital comics service out there, and many people have taken advantage of it. While no one seems to have gotten rich off it, a sale is a sale. And COmixology has just released a list of the top 25 sellers for 2014, topped by Gail Simone and Jim Calafiore’s Leaving Megalopolis. This superheroes with a twist story was originally Kickstarted. The impressive Testament Omnibus by Douglas Rushkoff and a bunch of awesome artists was second, and Joe Benitez’s Lady Mechanika was #3. Severl anthologies Kickstarted by the tireless C. Spike Trotman were also on the list…she is a powerhouse.
There are some excellent comics by top creators on the list, so the lesson for how to be successful on Submit it…be totally excellent.

It would be nice to know (1) if these books are selling in the thousands or just the hundreds; and (2) what the #1 books sells compared to #25.
I feel like Copra would probably appear on this list if it ever became available via Comixology, the hype continues to grow (and justifiably so).
Once Leaving Megalopolis gets reduced as a digital comic I will pick it up. $15 is too expensive.
