Marvel Has Two Comics In September's Top 20 And Ten In The Top 50. An Improvement On August.

stl017258In August, Marvel had two books in the Diamond Comic Distributors North American top twenty and nine in the top fifty. So September's Top 100 comic book sales is, indeed, an improvement for Marvel with two in the top 20 and ten in the top 50. But it still must make depressing reading. There has been some spin from the Marvel side, justified in some cases, that the 10% discount on statistics given to books that are ordered to be returned if they don't sell is not sufficient. But you are starting to see DC Rebirth title published that are direct sale, and they are maintaining a chart position such as Batman and Flash, with Batman outselling everything and Flash outselling every Marvel title apart from, Civil War II.
