Marvel Only Had Three In The Top 30 Comics Sold In August 2016
So how, when Marvel Comics have a third more comic books than DC Comics in August, could DC Comics dominate sales so much? Here's how – by Marvel only having one book in the top ten. Two books in the top twenty. Three books in the top thirty. Seven books in the top forty. And nine books in the top fifty.
Hellblazer beats Deadpool. Wonder Woman beats Star Wars. Batgirl beats Darth Vader.
Oh and while we are at it, Aquaman – and even Saga – beats every X-Men comic.
Here are the Top 100 comics and graphic novels stats from the North American direct market courtesy of Diamond Comic Distributors and Previewsworld.
