DC Comics Month-to-Month Sales: October 2012

83
As expected, DC Comics's average and total comic-book unit sales were dropping again in October, in the wake of September's zero-issue stunt. To be fair, though, it's not a huge drop, and viewed over the last four months, the publisher's averages continue to look sturdy. Thanks to a new round of crossovers -- notably "Death of the Family" in the Batman line and "Rise of the Third Army" in the Green Lantern line -- and Annuals, as well as continually strong sales from the expanding line of "digital-first" compilation titles, the pertinent figures remain well within the spectrum that's been established following last year's relaunch.

Marvel Month-to-Month Sales: October 2012

20
After September's virtual hiatus, October saw Marvel emerge from crossover season and hit the ground running. AVENGERS VS X-MEN wraps up, while Marvel Now gets underway with the debut issues of UNCANNY AVENGERS and A PLUS X. On top of that, there's AVX: CONSEQUENCES, the MARVEL NOW: POINT ONE one-shot, a new ongoing series with WOLVERINE: MAX, the "Minimum Carnage" crossover, and more. Given all that, it's no surprise that Marvel had the biggest share of the North American direct market, leading DC by 40% to 34% in units and 35% to 32% in dollars.

SLG’s offices and Art Boutiki must relocate

1
Although we've never been, the Boutiki run by San Jose-based comics publisher SLG has always sounded like a cool place: a storefront and performance space that sold comics and has a tiki theme in keeping with publisher Dan Vado's sensibilities. But now, in a dime-a-dozen story of real estate improvement, the space must close by next summer as the building is being razed to make way for an apartment building.
