Marvel Month to Month Sales: April 2014 — Everything’s Coming up Spidey
Welcome to the month of Spider-Man, the best-selling comic in over a decade. But with this one book breaking 500k, how is this the rest of the Marvel line doing?

Greetings, sales charts fans! It's time once again to look at DC's sales figures.
DC take five of the top ten spots on the Diamond sales charts, all of them Batman-titled books thanks to the debut of the weekly Batman Eternal. However, DC fall to their lowest Dollar Share and Unit Share in quite some time due to a combination of Marvel's relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man (with a boatload of order incentives and variant covers leading to over a half million in sales) and their own inability to get out many of their bestselling titles on a consistent schedule—Forever Evil, Sandman Overture and Superman Unchained) didn't ship this month, with Forever Evil's lateness causing a ripple effect through other titles like Justice League of America.
