Marvel Month-to-Month Sales Chart March & April 2017: Strategies of Doom

by Xavier Lancel

Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I’m French, that’s why I’m talking funny. Please address your complaints to my “make our “gratins” great again”” country.

Marvel is having a bad time. Everybody is talking about how their sales are in the toilet, especially compared to DC, who managed to make a jump over Marvel, taking the leadership in sales. It is true that not only most of the sales results of their last two bunches of new titles -or relaunches – are beyond atrocious, but that almost 90% of its catalog has taken hits after hits in the last 4 months.

There is some very scarce titles remaining in the +30K zone, all the rest having fell over the 30K and aiming for the 20K like if it was a purpose. Clearly, Marvel can’t keep their previous cancellation limit (20K) anymore. It seemed to have shifted to 18K but, seing the results of their currents titles, 15K would be a way more accurate limit before cancellation. Many titles are cancelled one after the other, some even have to suffer the supreme shame of having their next issues cancelled after being sollicited.

Marvel will have to find remplacements for all those missing spots in its catalog, which means either another wave of new titles or, like DC, double shipping on their most successful ones, making them bimonthly. Star Wars, Deadpool, Thor, Wolverine and Amazing Spider-man seem to be the only boats staying afloat. Nobody expect the relaunched X-Men titles to perform better than before and we almost already know that the Inhumans relaunch is another failed attempt. Like always, Marvel is more ready to blame the readers than themselves for the failure of their books. Great art, great story, why in heaven’s name don’t everybody empty their pocket and buy their daring products? Well, guess what Marvel, you’re not the only provider of comics here and not everybody is ready to spend their money on a floppy with the cheapest value in the market and annoying market strategies (unending crossovers, double shipping, variant mania, overuse of a character). The saddest part is about the artists working on those poor selling titles original titles: they probably don’t deserve what could be taken as a statement about their artistic skills. That’s not. It’s only the result of a lack of respect from Marvel for their customers and even more, for their readers. I’m not talking choice of artists or content of stories here, just the obvious malign marketing strategies which led to those disastrous results. And the attitude going with it: that’s the customer’s fault. Another doomed childish strategy.

Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it’s not because a copy is sold to a shop that it’s sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.

Many thanks to Milton Griepp and ICv2.com for the permission to use their figures. Also thanks to the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!) for its help.

1- SECRET EMPIRE ($5)
  
04/17	Secret Empire  #1  -  162,718

The following month will tell if this one is a success or not.

3- 16- X-MEN GOLD ($5)
  
04/17	X-Men Gold  #1  -  114,332
04/17	X-Men Gold  #2  -    62,283  (-45.5%)

I don’t need to remind you of the scandal perfume around this one. What a way to kill a career all by himself! This world being what it is, you can bet that a large number of people will empty their pockets to buy the original pages increminated. Making extra money for something wicked… Ardian Syaf did turn some of his pages into gold at the end, but not the kind I would like to have in my possession.

4- 24- X-MEN BLUE ($5)
  
04/17	X-Men Blue  # 1  -  108,839
04/17	X-Men Blue  # 2  -   54,074  (-50.3%)

That’s (Original) X-Men 4.0, or X-Factor 3.0 or if your prefer All New X-Men 2.0. Of course, there are tons of variants and a $5 starting point. So far, nothing can be tell, -about this one of the Gold book- except that those titles mean absolutly nothing -except referecing to something which also meant nothing in the 90’s. Nostalgia seems the key player here, even nostalgia from the 90’s -is it even allowed?

STAR WARS TOP VOL.3: 6,689  
STAR WARS TPB VOL.4: 4,907

Now that almost all the rest of the Marvel catalog is falling like a stone and can’t even reach 30K, those numbers look impressive again. I would be Marvel, I would search for another popular property to develop into comics.

9- 38- WEAPON X 
  
04/17	Weapon X  # 1  -  68,874
04/17	Weapon X  # 2  -  42,471  (-38.3%

My head already hurts just looking at the cover: claws, knifes and guns everywhere, some weapon Omega, Alpha , Zero, X, the list probably goes on forever. Gee, with Greg Land on art, this is like a remix of the 90’s violence and bigboobiness, but with a 2000’s photoshoped twist. Oh, and grinded teeth also! All hope or despair is still allowed, depending on which side of the cliff you stand on.

13- STAR WARS ROGUE ONE ADAPTATION LTD ($5)
  
04/17	SW Rogue One Ltd #1  -  64,518

Mother of God, I know there are something like 10 variant covers but still…It’s gonna cost $30 in floppy to read the adaptation of a movie you probably already saw. Gee, this is a mad world….

Overshipping and special retailers deals try to hide the fact that’s its falling over the 30K barrier.

Since #2: -33.4%

Stuart Immonen is the new artist on the title. Marvel has been more greedy than ever with issue #25, priced $10 for now less than 96p. It’s 88p long. And, as you can see, people keep buying it by truckloads so don’t cry your heart out next time, when Marvel will charge you 10$ for a 68p comic.

Since issue #2 : +3.4%

Enny of the State II concluded in #18 and #19 is the start of a new direction for the title, with a new costume, all in black and white, “à la“ Dark Wolverine/Daken.Even with overship aside, it looks so far that this rejuvenation worked and will perhaps keep the title in the +30K area, which would be considered by the new lowered Marvel standarts quite a success.

27- BEN REILLY SCARLET SIDER 
  
04/17	Ben Reilly scarlet Spider  #1  -  53,240

I always wondered what was the purpose of a hood above a whole-skull-covering mask. There are some quite risky moves on the design of this Scarlet Spider: the hood, the succion-like long fingers and the mouth expressions visible even under the mask.Oh, and the belt. “The most talked about comic of the year” say the sollicitation text? Not sure, but the most daring design of the year, yes! -I’m quite worried about the hood, sorry-

OLD MAN LOGAN TPB VOL.3: 5,135   [+934]  [+585]

Old Man Logan has clearly become a bimonthly title. You probaby already guessed which issue has the venom variant…With issue #21 starts a kind of modern recap of all the big moments of Wolverine past. It helps the title going back up the golden +40K barreer. Sales of this title are not only very good, they are also steady. And it’s selling like hotcakes in TPB, with all its volumes showing up this month again. What more can you expect?

04/17	Royals  # 1  -  40,941
04/17	Royals  #2  -  28,469  (-30.5%)

The Resurrxion of the Inhumans begins. That’s not a typo. The Resurrxion. Of course, tons of variants, which probably means that this new Inhumans serie -have you noticed how Marvel is now avoiding the Inhumans brand name in its Inhumans related titles? – will probably set a new record as a short lived Inhumans serie.

I have no idea who this character is – but I ‘m also not sure who this Poe Dameron is-, but I was mistaken: that’s an ongoing and Darth Maul was the mini. Everything is going ok here.

What was it they said? Oh, yeah. “We tried diversity and people did not want it”. Yeah, right. This “totally failing” title -that’s irony- is staying afloat this month (the gain is due to the Resurrxtion variant, Mighty Thor hasn’t been part of the Venom one last month).

Issue#16 has the other part of the Sam Wilson CA connecting cover. Obviously, there is some interest on the current “traitor” storyline. Trolls on the net make it sound like it’s a disaster for Marvel, the numbers tell another story. It’s not an amazing success but it keeps the title afloat in the +30K zone, when almost everybody else is falling over it.

57- BLACK PANTHER CREW 
  
04/17	BP Crew  #1  -  35,604

Here it is, the return of the ill-fated Crew “black” team and another Black Panther and Cage ongoing title because everybody knows they can sustain 3 ongoing series each at the same time, right? The awesome Butch Guice is on art but surprisingly is signing absolutly none of the 5 covers. Instead we have one of weakest cover ever done by John Cassady as the main one. Yep, that’s 35K with tons of variant and a small (from Marvel standarts) $4 price tag. It was gonna need a miracle to save this one and in fact it has already been cancelled with issue #6. Oh yeah, I forgot, that’s our fault, we readers, we don’t want diversity, right?

04/17	Nick Fury  #1  -  31,683

Oh boy, clearly the world wasn’t waiting in eager for this one seeing those very weak debut numbers despite many variant programs on. Let’s hope this will manage in any way to stay afloat or sell in nice quantities in paperback because 1/ James Robinson is writing it 2/ This young Aco fella seems to improve himself with each assignment. I almost bought a pack of Constantine comics only for him! Here, he seems to clearly pay an homage to Steranko but also going his own way. Let’s hope Marvel will be able to advertise this one effectively, which is almost hoping that coffee will help make you sleep….

Issue 6 is the conclusion of the Kang Wars.

Sales should rebond with the debut of the next arc next month.

One Resurrxtion variant on #19 when none was on #18. Even if it fell to a new sales level, that remains one of the few Marvel relaunch success. But come on, another storyline about Daredevil secret identity? Really? Can’t we get over it once and for all?

When your ongoing serie, 1$ cheaper and with the help of a #1 manage to sell way less than the last issue of your event-mini, you can stop worrying: you are probably a second mini whithout knowing it yet.

The only things to notice here are that the very old stuff sold way better than anything else and that those Generation X #1 reprint numbers are really not encouraging for the upcoming title.

Since issue #2: -36.9%

After the usual Venom variant bump, it’s going back to standart erosion. It’s still pretty high: the character and its creative team seem to really have struck people’s mind.

Seing the numbers, it will probably not stick around very long. Who hasn’t been the Hulk yet? Bruce, done, General Ross, done, Amadeus Cho, done, Rick Jones, done, Jennifer, done. Why not Lockjaw? This could become a kind of Razorback horror comics.

Since issue #2 : -40.2%

Cleraly, this one was a mistake, by Deadpool sales numbers standards. Even with this crossover asking people buying Spider-Man/Deadpool and Deadpool to buy it to have the complete storyarc, people preferred to pass on it. Half of the people who bought the two deadpool main ongoings will not have the complete story. At the same time, in this day and age of complete decompression, they probably only miss a character driving from A to B during the whole issue…

Another Avengers franchise disaster. Issue#5 had a Resurrxion variant, hence the little bump. I don’t know if we should laught or cry when reading the sollicitation text for issue#4 claming that, hey, they managed to put a complete story in 20 pages! Well, guess what? People used to make that every month in 3 pages less than you, 40 years ago.

No variant at all on issue#15. Clearly, it was in trouble. But two solos series starring Cage and Iron Fist are here to replace it. I don’t understand the math here, if one failed, two should do it?

So that’s the prelude of a comics adaptation of a movie adaptation of a comics character adventures. We used to find the sales level for those adaptation kind of low, but seing that it is quite close to a big portion of others Marvel series who just started, perhaps Marvel should soon change its names to Variant Adaptation in Comics of Movie Adaptations? VACMA.

Issue #6 has been cancelled after sollicitation. And the serie is cancelled, of course. That’s harsh and remind us of Marverl struggles in the late 90’s early 2000’s when this kind of thing happened several times in a year. For whatever reason, the expectation from Marvel on this one were higher than on others titles, despite the fact that several volumes of Ghost Rider tanked very quickly those last few years.

Probably too much Dr Strange at the same time, but this one had decent sales at the end, even if losing way too much buyers beetween issues.
