Posted on by

piechart.jpgDiamond Comic Distributors has sent Major Spoilers the breakdown of comic book sales for June 2008.  Leading the month once again is Marvel with a 48.39% Unit Share, with DC coming in second place with a mere 29.56%.  From there the numbers drop to the “smaller” publishers with Dark Horse coming in again in the third slot.

Title wise, Marvel snagged the top two spots with Secret Invasion #3 and Ultimate Origins #1.  Final Crisis #2 slipped a spot to the third best selling title, and with the exception of Justice League of America #22 taking the nine spot, Marvel dominated the top 10.

As reported by ICv2, overall sales for June grew 2% from the month before.  However, periodical sales are down 5% for the first half of 2008.

Take the jump for the complete rundown of the Top 300 Comics, and see where your favorite title ranked.

DC Universe #0 Sells Out

Posted on by

It only took one day for the trailer-esque DC Universe 0 to sell out at Diamond Comics Distributors. With all the mainstream press DC received from such outlets as The New York Daily News, the Associated Press, and The New York Times, as well as our own coverage, it is understandable that comic readers young and old went out to pick up this “jumping on point” issue.

In order to meet demand, DC is already back to press with a second printing that features a variant version of the original cover.

I think the sell out took DC by surprise, as the second edition won’t be available until May 28.
