Note the lack of a numeric scale on the digital sales chart.
All that and a new Humble Image Bundle.
I don’t think I’ll be throwing in at the top tier on this one (as I’ve already got all of Walking Dead and Saga), but I can see doing the $15 tier.
According to the pie chart: 13% is digital.
But that’s a crazy scale on the bar chart!
According to the July earnings report filed by IDW’s parent:
Digital is 13% of sales for last three months including July, 11 for last nine months. (2013: 11/10)
For three months:
DM: 58 Books: 15 Digital: 13 Specialty: 6 Mail Order: 8
