Marvel Month to Month Sales Charts: October 2014 Variations on Variant Themes

By Jason Enright

Hello Sales Chart Analyzers! In October, there were a lot of books. So to start, let’s break down the numbers a bit.

84 books in total
8 double shipped books (plus 3 series that shipped more than twice this month)
5 X-Men books (7 if you count X-Factor and X-Force)
5 Avengers books (6 if you count the Ultimates)
2 Annuals
1 Original Sin Tie-In book
10 Axis and Axis Tie-in Books
7 Death of Wolverine and Death of Wolverine Tie-in books

5 titles over 100,000 copies
3 titles between 75,000 and 100,000 copies
11 titles between 50,000 and 75,000 copies
37 titles between 25,000 and 50,000 copies
28 titles under 25,000
1 $5.99 book
10 $4.99 books
69 $3.99 books
1 $3.50 book
3 $2.99 books

An interesting trend to look at this month is how variant numbers affect the sales. Several titles benefitted from being included in one or more of Marvel’s themed variant programs this month. In October, Marvel had 3 variant themes, the Anti-Bullying variants, Deadpool 75th anniversary variants and Hasbro toy variants. Many of these issues were in the middle of an arc and normally would have suffered standard attrition of -1 to -3%, but due to these variant programs they got a nice +3 to +5% sales boost. Variants are one of many incentive programs that companies use to boost sales. Recently Marvel and DC have been doing these themed variants across multiple books and they definitely seem to be working. Whether or not, they are actually good for comic sales in the long term is another question entirely. What do you think of variants? Let’s discuss it in the comments below. For now let’s dive into the numbers.

Thanks as always to ICV2.com and Milton Griepp for their permission to use these figures.

Death of Wolverine ends very strong. The idea of killing main characters may be a gimmick but this event was well done. Now let’s start the timer for how long until he comes back, and further down the list we’ll take a look at some of the many Death of Wolverine tie-ins.

3. THOR
10/04  Thor v2 #85  -  49,321

The new Thor get a huge issue 1 boost. The next few months will be very telling however. If it has a normal issue 2 drop, of 40 to 50% next month then it will still be selling around 90k copies which is a very nice improvement on the 35k to 40k that Thor had been selling. Recent Marvel relaunches have quickly fallen back to their previous numbers, so with Thor the question will be how long can hold it onto this sales boost.

5, 10, 11, 34. AXIS/UNCANNY AVENGERS
10/12  Uncanny Avengers #1  -  303,722
---
10/13  Uncanny Avengers #13 -  60,597  (-17.4%)

Axis #1 compared to other Marvel events first issues.

05/06 Civil War #1 – 260,706 (-43.6%)
04/08 Secret Invasion #1 – 250,213 (-41.2%)
01/10 Siege #1 – 108,484 ( 36.0%)
04/11 Fear Itself #1 – 128,595 ( 14.3%)
03/12 Av vs. X-Men #1 – 203,181 (-27.6%)
03/13 Age of Ultron #1 – 174,952 (-16.0%)
08/13 Infinity #1 – 205,819 (-28.6%)
05/14 Original Sin #1 – 147,045 ( -5.5%)
10/14 AXIS #1 – 138,966

I chose to list AXIS with Uncanny Avengers because it was originally conceived as just the next Uncanny Avengers story arc, but has grown into a line-wide event. I wanted the comparison to show how big of a sales boost it gets as an event. Nice big boost for Uncanny Avengers.

However, I also wanted to show a comparison to launches of other events from the last 8 years. This list is because people often talk of event fatigue. As you can see the events this year are definitely not selling as well as previously events. AXIS is marketed as Avengers & X-Men: AXIS for a reason. Marvel was hoping it would sell like AVX did. It is not doing that well. Perhaps that is due to event fatigue. Original Sin and Death of Wolverine just ended. Spider-Verse is happening at the same time. There are a lot of Marvel’s books competing with each other for customer’s money and AXIS’s sales seem to be suffering because of it.

Spider-Verse hasn’t officially started yet, but these two issues are Edge of Spider-verse titles which is basically the build up to Spider-verse proper. They also both had variant covers and both featured prominent guest stars (Ms. Marvel in #7 and Mayday Parker aka Spider-Girl in issue 8). All of this conspired to give these issues nice big boosts. It is going to be a good couple months for Spider-Man sales.

14. CAPTAIN AMERICA
10/04  Captain America v4 #32  - 37,274  
10/12  Captain America v6 #19  - 40,205

10 Year (  99.0%)

Captain America gets a really nice boost for the final issue of the current run which is also the issue that debuts the new Captain America. Next month we get to see if the new Captain America #1 can sell as well as the new Thor did this month.

15. DEATH OF WOLVERINE: LOGAN LEGACY
10/14  DoW: Logan Legacy #1 -  71,532  
10/14  DoW: Logan Legacy #2 -  48,795  ( -31.8%)
10/14  DoW: Logan Legacy #3 -  47,265  (  -3.9%)

The Logan Legacy is a 5 issue mini-series with different teams taking on different characters important to Logan’s life and changed by his death. Issue 1 seems to do very well and then issue 2 saw an expected drop, and issue 3 seems to have leveled out. Still as an extra book tying into the Death of Wolverine, this is doing quite well for them. It will be interesting though to see how much money they can squeeze out of Wolverine’s death and if these tie-in series can do a good job of setting up their new series Wolverines.

20. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
10/09  Guardians v2 #19 -  23,583

10/13  Guardians v3 #7  -  68,647  (  -0.6%)

Guardians #20 had two variants this month and got a nice sales boost putting it back over 60k.

21. ALL-NEW X-MEN

01/14  All-New #22.NOW   -  76,565  (+21.8%)
02/14  All-New X-Men #23 -  64,625  (-15.6%)
03/14  All-New X-Men #24 -  63,739  ( -1.4%)
04/14  All-New X-Men #25 -  63,827  (  0.1%)
04/14  All-New X-Men #26 -  58,918  ( -7.7%)
05/14  All-New X-Men #27 -  62,269  (  5.7%)

---
6 mnth  (   1.9%)
1 year  ( -27.5%)

All-new X-men gets a nice sales boost mid-storyline likely due to the Stomp Out Bullying and Hasbro toy variants.

22. Guardians 3000
10/14  Guardians 3000 #1  -  58,574  (---)

Guardians 3000 starts at a very respectable number only a few thousand below the main Guardians book. However, the size of issue 2 and 3 drops is always a much stronger measure of interest in the series than a new issue 1. If issue 2 sells over 35k next month, then this book may be doing very well.

23. UNCANNY X-MEN
10/04  Uncanny X-Men #451   –  97,405
10/09  Uncanny X-Men #516   –  73,871

Uncanny X-Men is another series seeing a nice boost this month because of the Deadpool and Hasbro variants. It will be interesting to see if any of these top tier books get shaken up by the events of Axis when it ends in January.

24. ROCKET RACCOON
07/14  Rocket Raccoon #1  -  293,913  ( --- )[7,738]
08/14  Rocket Raccoon #2  -   56,597  (-80.7%)
09/14  Rocket Raccoon #3  -   52,288  ( -7.6%)
10/14  Rocket Raccoon #4  -   57,830  ( 10.6%)

Rocket Raccoon gets a nice boost for its 4th issue which is likely due to having 3 variants.

The Time Runs Out story arc has provided some ups and downs for the last few issues’ sales. So even though issue 37 is down 9even with some variants), it is still higher than this series’ lowest point of 45k. This 8-month time jump hasn’t clearly hurt or helped the series, it is just staying close to 50k.

37, 45. Edge of Spider-Verse
09/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #1  - 59,237 
09/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #2  - 54,415  (-8.1%)
09/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #3  - 51,530  (-5.3%)
10/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #4  - 48,877  (-5.1%)
10/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #5  - 52,596  ( 7.6%)

Edge of Spider-Verse was a very successful mini-series for Marvel. Several of these books have been announced for second prints while one of this series’ new characters, Spider-Gwen, is going to be getting her own series in 2015.

41. Original Sin Annual
10/14  Original Sin Annual #1  -  52,105  (---)

I don’t understand how an event mini-series that didn’t last a year can qualify for an overpriced annual but as long as stores continue to order 50k copies of it, then Marvel will continue to make it.

47. DEADPOOL vs.
04/14  Dpool vs. Carnage #1 – 57,275 [4,497]
04/14  Dpool vs. Carnage #2 – 49,374  (-13.8%)[2,757]

Deadpool crossovers continue to make lots of money for Marvel.

48. DEATH OF WOLVERINE: DEADPOOL & CAPTAIN AMERICA
10/14  DoW: Deadpool & Cap #1 -  47,956  

A single issue Death of Wolverine tie-in starring Deadpool and Captain America priced at $4.99

50. BUCKY BARNES: WINTER SOLDIER
10/14  BB: Winter Solder #1 -  47,471  

Commenting on issue 1s is tough. On the one hand this series sold better than all previous Winter Soldier series, but on the other recent series that debuted at this level have now dropped below 30k and are on their way to 20k. The next two months will be very telling. If issue 2 stays above 30k, then it will likely have healthy staying power. If it drops 40% to 28k, then it might be in trouble. Stay tuned.

Deadpool gets a nice little 7% boost this month as it ties into Axis and has a 75th anniversary variant cover. Deadpool continues to be a monetary powerhouse for Marvel.

56. DEATHLOK
10/14  Deathlok #1 -  43,991  

Another issue 1 with promising numbers, but if Deathlok gets the normal 40% drop it will be at 26k. Next month, look to see if there are issue 1 re-orders and how big the drop will be. A few thousand re-orders and a 30% drop would put this in a healthy place.

59. NEW AVENGERS
10/09  New Avengers v1 #58 -  76,610  
10/11  New Avengers v2 #17 -  55,732

Last month, New Avengers had a nice boost for the start of the Time Runs Out storyline, and now this month there is a slight drop but the numbers are still higher than before the story arc started so it is still a net positive. This issue did have one variant so that likely also contributed to keeping the sales higher.

61. DEADPOOL’S ART OF WAR
10/14  Deadpool’s Art of War #1 -  42,673  

Another Deadpool mini-series set to make Marvel a lot of money.

62, 63. SPIDER-MAN 2099
07/14  Spider-Man 2099 #1  -  90,690  ( --- )[6,461]
08/14  Spider-Man 2099 #2  -  47,512  (-47.6%)

10/14  Spider-Man 2099 #4  -  40,755  ( -6.1%)
10/14  Spider-Man 2099 #5  -  40,880  (  0.3%)

Spider-Man 2099 seems to be leveling out and next month gets more involved with Spider-verse which may help boost sales even more.

67. AXIS CARNAGE
10/12  Minimum Carnage Alpha #1 – 41,110
10/13  Superior Carnage #4      – 33,159

10/14  AXIS Carnage #1          – 38,548

1 year  (  16.3%) 2 Year  (  -6.0%)

The new 3-issue Carnage mini-series that ties into AXIS starts with pretty good sales and in line with the last few Carnage minis.

71. Legendary Star Lord
---
07/14  Star Lord #1 – 78,501
08/14  Star Lord #2 – 37,109 (-52.7%)
09/14  Star Lord #3 – 32,918 (-11.3%)
10/14  Star Lord #4 – 37,123 ( 12.8%)

Star Lord #4 gets a nice sales bump and sells a little bit more than #2 did which is really good at a time when most new series see consistent month to month drops.

78. Thanos: A God Up There Listening
10/14  Thanos #1  -  35,660  ( --- )
10/14  Thanos #2  -  31,564  (-11.5%)
10/14  Thanos #3  -  30,771  ( -2.5%)
10/14  Thanos #4  -  29,699  ( -3.5%)

Thanos is a 4-issue mini-series that sold pretty well and continued the story of Thane, son of Thanos who was introduced in Infinity.

Daredevil sales dip this month with no variants or tie-ins, however this book is generally very stable between 30 and 40k. With no variants or tie-ins planned through January, it will be interesting to see if the ever-stable Daredevil series dips below 30k.

Adjectiveless X-men is another fairly stable mid-tier book. Marc Guggenheim is currently writing an arc through December and then G. Willow Wilson takes over for a story arc. It will be interesting to see if rotating creative teams effects sales positively or negatively.

Ms. Marvel sees a boost this month. There was one variant, but still this title is very stable and the trade paperback was #1 on the book list this month. Hard to argue with this book’s success.

92. AXIS REVOLUTIONS
10/14  Axis Revolutions #1 - 32,794

Revolutions is a four-part Axis tie-in mini-series. Sales aren’t great, but aren’t really terrible yet. Still as the main tie-in it is interesting that it is selling so far below the main book.

Original Sin and Death of Wolverine come to a close as Spider-Verse and Axis ramp up and lots of books benefit from tie-ins or special variant covers. So how do these things affect what you buy? Do events get you excited to try out new titles or are you suffering from event fatigue? Do you buy variants and if so what kind of variants do you like?

Until next month, keep reading comics!
