Diamond has just released the 12 Gold sponsor comics for next year's Free Comic Book Day—and it's who you would expect with one addition: Bongo, the little company that could. Bongo has been around...

It's not too soon to think about Free Comic Book Day 2016, which is just what publishers and Diamond are going. The annual comics holiday -- held the first Saturday of May -- sees...

You know, maybe the narrative about Dark Horse losing the Star Wars license to Marvel wasn't DH's loss but Marvel's gain: sales of Star Wars comics seem to be what's propelling them to stay on  top...

Note: The distribution numbers used below are estimates, not hard sales numbers.  They're accurate to the trends, but take the exact unit measurements with a small grain of salt.   Recently, Comichron released Diamond distribution numbers...

The folks at Titan are really teasing their upcoming three four Doctor crossover story line from Hugo-nominated Who writer Paul Cornell, slated for release on August 12 ahead of their second annual Doctor Who Comics Day on August 15.

The last time we talked about Books A Million and Diamond, I told you'd I'd been advised to keep an eye on Dark Horse and, sure enough, Dark Horse had disappeared off the newsstand...

When last we discussed what was going on with Diamond and Books A Million (BAM), it wasn’t entirely clear what was going on, other than there were comics on sale and they were coming...

Remember how Marvel pulled out of the newsstand market several months ago?  Well, they're back.  After a fashion.  And they've brought Image and IDW with them. Here's what I know: sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas,...

Over the holiday I spotted something pretty eye-popping on Tumblr—this comics sales chart from Amazing Heroes #49, published in 1984 and posted by Sam Humphries. Your jaw will drop in amazement to see a world where American Flagg!, a daring SF comic by Howard Chaykin outsold Captain America, and Groo outsold Batman, Detective and Green Lantern.

I'll post John Jackson Miller's analysis when it comes in, but sales for the year inched up, although down from Five Wednesday July. Image had more than 10% of unit sales, always a good...
