Diamond Distribution’s Top 20 Publishers, Top 300 Comics, and Top 300 TPBs & GNs for December 2009

2

Diamond Distribution have just supplied Hypergeek with a full run down of their December 2009 Direct Market sales figures.

If you are not familiar with how Diamond’s sales figures, here’s how they are calculated:

Data for Diamond’s sales charts—which include the monthly market shares and all top product charts—are compiled by Diamond Comic Distributors from a universe of over 4,000+ accounts, comprised of comic book specialty shops and other merchant stores and buyers. The shops are primarily located in North America, with a percentage of sales also to international stores and buyers located throughout the world. The account base includes brick-and-mortar comic book specialty shops, Internet merchants, and other specialty stores.

Unit and dollars sales are calculated based upon orders invoiced and shipped to Diamond accounts during any given month, which comprises initial pre-orders, advance reorders, and reorders, minus any copies that are received back from a title marked as returnable.

The data therefore does not reflect the actual number of units that ended up in the hands of customers, but rather is based upon what retailers estimate that they will be axble to sell. The obvious flaw to this system is that if a retailer made a huge over-order for a certain title, and ended up having to pulp a few hundred books, this will not be reflected in these sales charts. Also, this list does not reflect the amount of customers who buy their comics directly from the publisher by subscription or other means. It’s not perfect, but its as close as we’re going to get…

The following charts show the Top 20 publishers, the Top 300 comics, and the Top 300 graphic novels & trades for the month of December 2009.

This will be followed shortly by the Top Indy Comics & GNs, and the Top Small Press Comics & GNs for the month of December 2009.

Top 20 Publishers

4-i-2007-nav-logo_marvel_medThe numbers below reflect the overall market share of the Top 20 comic publishers for the month of December 2009. The number in the first column is the market share in terms of actual units sold, and the number in the second column is the market share in terms of the total dollar amount per publisher.

The Top 10

Marvel Comics took the top publisher spot in December, leading in both the Unit Market and Dollar Shares categories, with a 49.31% Unit Market Share and a 44.57% Dollar Share for the month, meaning a massive increase of of 7.38% and 6.72% respectively from last month’s numbers!

DC Comics came in second this month, with a 30.21% Unit Market Share and a 27.20% Dollar Share for the month, meaning a decrease of 4.57% and 4.51% respectively from last month’s numbers! Considering the fact that DC has the top two books, and a few others in the top ten, the rest of their titles must have sold incredibly poorly.

The top indy publisher this month is Image Comics, with a 3.62% Unit Market Share and a 3.41% Dollar Share for the month, at an overall position at #3. Last month’s number one indy publisher, Dark Horse Comics, looks to have dropped a couple of places, to take the fifth position in the charts.

The top small press publisher this month is Avatar Press, with a 0.55% Unit Market Share and a 0.67% Dollar Share for the month, at an overall position at #10.

Top 300 Comics

The Top 10

The battle against Nekron continued as long-established heroes and villains were deputized into the Lantern Corps in Blackest Night #6, the latest chapter of the cosmic crossover event from writer Geoff Johns and artist Ivan Reis, joining the series’ previous five issues atop the sales charts and giving DC Comics the best-selling comic book title for December 2009.

Green Lantern #49 took the number two spot, with the title holding it’s strong position over from last month. Green Lantern obviously seeing a bit of a sales boost due to it’s being so essential to the plot of Blackest Night.

Captain America: Reborn #5 took the number two spot, with the title holding it’s strong position over from last month.  The first issue of ‘Reborn’ was the number one title back in July, but Blackest night knocked it down to #2 in August, then in November, Green Lantern busted it all the way down to #3. I wonder what position the final issue of this great mini will have.

Captain America: Who Will Wield the Shield takes the number four comic spot. This one shot epilogue to Captain America: Reborn most likely suffering a little in sales due to the fact that it was released over a month before the conclusion of the series.

Blackest Night: The Flash takes position five, Green Lantern Corps #43 takes position six, Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #1 took position eight, and Blackest Night: JSA #1 took position ten; all of course being Blackest Night tie-ins, giving DC a whopping SEVEN Blackest Night titles in this month’s top ten!!!

New Avengers #60 and Dark Avengers #12 both appear in this month’s top 10 list, albeit at far lower rankings than normal. Bendis’ Avengers titles are two of Marvel’s most popular monthy titles, and are always in the monthly top 10; however, it looks like Blackest Night is really kicking their butts!

Beyond the Top 10

Positions #11-#20 are completely dominated by DC and Marvel. Nine of the slots are taken by Marvel, with two spots taken up by issues of Uncanny X-Men, and two spots taken up by Avengers Annuals. The only DC comics title that ranked is Batman #694.

Positions #21-#30 look pretty much the same, with DC and Marvel taking up all the slots, in fact, they take up every spot in the charts until position #38, which leads to out next segment…

Indy Comics

The top ranking indy comic for December was Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow (one shot) (Dark Horse Comics), ranking at position #38.

The #2 ranking indy comic for December was Haunt #3 (Image Comics), which is all the way down at #76. It’s not looking like a great month for indy sales!

For more in depth analysis of the indy charts, check back in the next couple of days, when we’ll be posting the full December indy charts, with a breakdown of the top ten ranking titles.

Small Press Comics

The top ranking small press comic for December was Supergod #1 (Avatar Press), ranking at position #169. Supergod is the new miniseries from Warren Ellis, which has a Superhero deconstruction theme.

The #2 ranking small press comic for December was Escape from Wonderland #3 (Zenoscope Entertainment), ranking at position #174. This issue is the conclusion to the ‘Wonderland trilogy’, a spin-off of Grimm Fairy Tales. To see my interview with writer Raven Gregory, click here!
