MARKET SHARE: Top 300 Comics for March 2013

Diamond Comic Distributors has released its listing of the top 300 comics sold in the direct market for March 2013.

With the hype surrounding the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, it comes as no surprise that the comic took the top spot.  Marvel’s latest event, Age of Ultron, made appearances in the top ten, with a few DC comics finding their way into the list as well.

On the plus side, comic sales compared to February were up 3.05%, and though the number of days in a month shouldn’t matter, I have a feeling the bump may be due to the 28 days of February.  That being said, March was a very good month for the comics industry as comic sales compared to the same month a year ago saw a 26.28% growth.

Take the jump for the complete rundown of the top 300 comics to see where your favorite comic placed.
