Another late and short column this month, again my apologies, life is continuing to intrude! Next month’s column should be with you much earlier.

Joining Walking Dead and Saga this month as the best-selling indie titles are a new Serenity book and Rick Remender’s new title, Deadly Class. As with last month, there are a swathe of recent books that are doing well around the top 150, but below that things aren’t looking too healthy. There are very few long running titles (besides Walking Dead of course) that are selling in healthy numbers, and the mini-series as ongoing series model that the likes of BPRD use doesn’t seem to be having any noticeable benefit anymore. Worth keeping an eye on, that.

150 indie titles charted in the top 300, slightly down on last month’s 151. Overall sales were quite heavily down at 1,599,348, compared to last month’s 1,700,440 and the average sales this month are 10,662, down on last month’s 11,261. Only 11 titles went up in sales and 125 went down, with the rest made up of new entries and specials

Image return to top publisher position with an 8.78% dollar share and a 10.10% market share, and IDW resume second place with a 5.71% dollar share and 5.08% market share. Dark Horse have a 4.74% dollar share and a 4.22% market share, Dynamite have a 2.81% dollar share and 2.69% market share and Boom! have a 2.25% dollar share and 1.99% market share.

UK and European sales from Diamond UK are not reported in this chart.

Holding up strongly as the arc finishes, and with the customary few month gap now till the next arc.

29. Serenity (Dark Horse)

01/2014: Leaves on the Wind #1 - 47,285

The first new Firefly book in some time does Dark Horse’s best number in a while, with Buffy’s Georges Jeanty on art duties

51. Deadly Class (Image)

01/2014: Deadly Class #1 - 34,572

Rick Remender launches a noir-ish little book at slightly lower numbers than Black Science.

04/2013: East of West #2 - 41,838 (-15.5%)

80, 220, 221. My Little Pony (IDW)

01/2013: -

01/2014: My Little Pony #15 - 27,461 (+19.4%)

Okay, so not only does this month’s issue increase in sales again, but both of the two lower selling issues of recent months suddenly have a little under 8,000 copies each mysteriously chart, bringing their sales up closer to their better selling issues. I have no idea.

94. Afterlife with Archie (Archie)

10/2013: Afterlife With Archie #1 - 41,533 (47,195)
11/2013: Afterlife With Archie #2 - 19,188 (-53.8%)
12/2013: -
01/2014: Afterlife With Archie #3 - 24,266 (+26.5%)

A good increase, as retailers obviously went a little too low on the previous issue.

97. Black Science (Image)

11/2013: Black Science #1 - 40,873
12/2013: Black Science #2 - 20,151 (-50.7%)
01/2014: Black Science #3 - 23,965 (+18.9%) 

Another one where retailers were obviously a little conservative on the previous issue, seeing a nice boost this month.

98. My Little Pony Friends Forever (IDW)

01/2014: MLP Friends Forever #1 - 23,370

New Pony miniseries, selling not much less than the regular book.

12/2013: Velvet #2 - 25,549 (-39.0%)

12/2013: -
01/2014: Sex Criminals #4 - 22,433 (+8.3%)

Not only do sales go up, but there’s already been a second print. And a second print of the fourth print of the first issue.

117. Pretty Deadly (Image)

10/2013: Pretty Deadly #1 - 45,883
11/2013: Pretty Deadly #2 - 23,581 (-48.6%)
12/2013: Pretty Deadly #3 - 21,079 (-10.6%)
01/2014: Pretty Deadly #4 - 19.664 (-6.7%)

Starting to smooth out at a decent level.

12/2013: -
01/2014: Fatale #19 - 15,725 (-2.7%)

Slowly drifting downwards as it heads towards its end at issue twenty-four.

133, 170. X-Files Conspiracy (IDW)

01/2014: X-Files Conspiracy #1 - 15,576
01/2014: Conspiracy Ghostbusters #1 - 11,286

IDW’s annual crossover book hinges around the X-Files this year, starting with Ghostbusters. Not amazing sales, but better than the regular books for both titles.

136. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW)

01/2012: TMNT #6 - 18,773
01/2013: -

====

02/2013: TMNT #18 - 16,172 (-3.2%)

12/2013: TMNT #29 - 15,532 (-8.9%)
01/2014: TMNT #30 - 14,979 (-3.6%)

A bit of a slump these last two issues, over two thousand copies.

139,148. Adventure Time (Boom!)

01/2014: Adventure Time #24 - 14,757 (-5.6%)
01/2014: Adventure Time 2014 Special - 13,388

Boom have possibly slightly over-egged the Adventure Time pudding, as sales have dropped by a third in the last 5 months. With the spin-offs, specials and OGNs, there is an awful lot of AT product out there at the moment.

143. X-Files Season 10 (IDW)

06/2013: X-Files Season 10 #1 - 24,270
07/2013: X-Files Season 10 #2 - 16,729 (-31.1%)

12/2013: Star Wars Legacy II #10 - 13,783 (-1.5%)
01/2014: Star Wars Legacy II #11 - 13,398 (-0.3%)

This on the other hand is pretty stable.

149. Adventure Time Flip Side (Boom!)

01/2014: Adventure Time Flip Side #1 - 13,372

A new spin-off mini-series.

151. Unity (Valiant)

11/2013: Unity #1 - 60,003
12/2013: Unity #2 - 18,845 (-68.6%)
01/2014: Unity #3 - 13,277 (-29.5%)

This has a way to go before it finds any sort of stability, I think.

153. Star Wars Dawn of The Jedi (Dark Horse)

02/2013: Dawn O/T Jedi Prisoner of Bogan #3 - 14,145 (-3.0%)

12/2013: Dead Body Road #1 - 16,840
01/2014: Dead Body Road #2 - 11,900 (-29.3%)

An average drop.

All figures on this chart are estimates for comics sold by Diamond to direct market retailers. They include reorders that shipped in the same month. Books shipping in the first week of a month will have more time for reorders to appear than ones shipping in the last week of the month, when reorders will slip to the following month.

  1. A lot of ouches in January, eh? And February won’t be fun either. I’m guessing a lot of folks are culling the pull lists around the beginning of the year?

    When did the news break that Sheltered was getting optioned? I’m really hoping that gives it a good up-tick, cause that book needs more attention.

  2. “I’m guessing a lot of folks are culling the pull lists around the beginning of the year?”

    I’d like to hear from a comic book retailer as to whether they order fewer shelf copies of titles in the winter. Overall retail business is always down in January and February, so it wouldn’t surprise me if pull lists stayed the same but things that might normally be set out in hopes of an impulse buy were scaled back.

  3. Seems like there’s a lot of focus on ordering Image #1s heavily but then retailers drop their orders dramatically for #2. So many of those #1s sell-out, it can’t be due to lack of interest. Are retailers of the mindset that Image #1s are just a new focus for speculators? I would think that there’s a lot of people missing out on #2 the following month and instead of waiting for the store to order a copy or for new printings, they’ll end up just trade-waiting/forgetting about it.

    The number of reprints on stuff like Sex Criminals is ridiculous. They’re doing multiple printings on second and third issues. There’s obviously a strong interest from readers in following it as a floppy (hyuck hyuck) month by month rather than simply waiting for the trade.

  4. @Nick Jones – Good point. Sometimes I get the blinders on when talking about comics retailing, that I don’t even think about overall retailing trends. Speaking anecdotally, I know my shop had to restock on a lot of collections and trades after the holidays. Hopefully publishers made up some of the gap through that.

  5. Devastatinng month for indies. They seem to be less prone to the regular “standard attrition” phenomena than the so-called Big Two, but whey they go down, they go down hard.

    But for Judge Dredd I’ll say that the reason for this month’s big fall was that readers had a much better buying option. The mini is WAY better than the regular IDW title. They should think about giving Wolk the book.

    By the way, the mini’s first issue will have a director’s cut next month (look for IDW’s solicitations), but I don’t think that it will be in large format, sadly. Maybe they could do another of those Treasury issues? IDW does good work on those…

  6. I’ve never cut my orders for January because it’s January. The problem has always been the lack of comics products to order in most Januarys. The Previews catalog for 1/14 was one of the thinnest I can remember.

    The video game business has (had? I’ve been out of that biz for a while) the same problem. They’d release no “big” games in January because “January is a slow month” but January is a slow month because there are no “big” new releases. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    If you publish it, they will come.

    Weather was also a factor for both Jan and Feb. People not leaving their house as often means fewer impulse purchases and smaller restocks by retailers.

    Some of the #1 sales from Image and others lately HAVE been speculator-driven. That includes some of the multiple-reprint action as well. If you search for Sex Criminals #1 on eBay you’ll see people auctioning off full sets of all printings of #1. Those aren’t listings by readers; Those are listings by speculators. These folks are driving sales of later printings as much as the genuine need for more copies by people who are hearing about it late.

    Speaking about “hearing about it late,” those of us who live and breathe comics sometimes forget that the majority of people who enjoy comics DON’T spend their whole days scouring the internet for every bit of comics info there is. They sometimes don’t hear about a project until it’s on the shelf in front of them, or the buzz hits volume levels that even non-readers notice.

    There is definitely some genuine need for second and occasionally third printings. Part of the problem is the publishers not gauging demand enough to print enough copies of the reprints to cover the demand. Part of it is pandering to the speculators. Marvel recently sent out a press release that said “You Didn’t Order Enough – More All-New Marvel NOW! Titles Return to Press!” Well, I still have stock on all of those, because I did my job guesstimating what my customers would likely buy. The problem is really that Marvel didn’t PRINT enough of those comics to cover even the teensiest reorder activity. That’s because they know they’ll get an extra couple of thousand sales to the speculators and completists who already bought it once, not just because of reader demand.

    There’s no way to get rid of speculators or completists, and no reason to. But the publishers shouldn’t be pandering to them, and need to accept part of the responsibility for not printing enough copies as well.

  7. No Savage Dragon again? I’m wondering if the “retirement” of the main character will spell an end to this book at 200 or not… Numbers have to be quite low, but how low can a creator-owned book go before it’s not economically feasible to keep making it?

  8. Hester’s T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents isn’t even making the Top 300? I am enjoying that book. Nor does Mark Waid seem to have enough of a built-in fan base to get Green Hornet or The Fox to show up.

  9. @Brian Jacoby: Awesome post!
    For a little while the indie books were looking very healthy but now there’s a large disparity between the top sellers and most of the rest. I hope this isn’t how 2014 continues.

  10. Glad to see Prophet chart again – that series continues to reward. And I can’t believe Zero took a hit like that – that series is going from strength to strength. Also agree that Ulysses Farinas should be doing better numbers on Dredd Mega City Two – absolutely gorgeous work. Recently picked up his Gamma one-shot on the strength of his Dredd work, which I enjoyed a lot (didn’t hurt that my kids have become Pokémon addicts recently too).
