Indie Month-to-Month Sales July 2014: Let’s Kill Archie

By Chris Rice

A few interesting new entries this month, headed by, of all things, The Death of Archie! That’s joined by Rick Remender’s new book Low, and a pair of new Doctor Who books become Titan’s biggest selling comics yet. Lots of books not charting this month for reasons explained below.

Marvel went a bit bonkers this month, and seem to have released about 25-30 more titles than normal, meaning there are only 126 indie titles charting in the top 300, well down on last month’s 148. Despite that, overall sales were up at 1,766,686, compared to last month’s 1,624,693, so average sales this month are 14,021, a huge increase on last month’s 10,977. 31 titles went up in sales and 72 went down, with the rest made up of new entries and specials.

Image are still at number one with an 8.83% dollar share and a 10.97% market share, IDW at second place with a 5.43% dollar share and 4.67% market share. Dark Horse have a 4.73% dollar share and a 4.03% market share, Dynamite have a 2.59% dollar share and 2.40% market share and Boom! have a 2.32 % dollar share and 2.14% market share.

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

10/2013: The Walking Dead Tyreese Special - 40,572
10/2013: The Walking Dead #1 10th Anniversary Ed - 39,780
11/2013: The Walking Dead #116 - 69,913 (-77.5%)

06/2014: The Walking Dead #128 - 74,326 (+4.2%)
07/2014: The Walking Dead #129 - 72,908 (-1.9%)

A slight drop, but still one of the stronger months for the industry’s premier indie book.

27, 42, 297. Life With Archie(Archie)

07/2014: Life with Archie #36 - 57,054
07/2014: Life with Archie Magazine #36 - 6,653
07/2014: Life with Archie #37 - 48,842

So they killed Archie Andrews. He heroically threw himself in front of a gunman’s bullet to save his friend Kevin Keller, and these sales are what happened. Just to give some perspective, last time this book charted, back in January 2011, it sold 2,802 copies through the direct market. With this and Afterlife with Archie, someone in the editorial or marketing department is obviously on the right track!

30. Saga (Image)

07/2012: Saga #5 - 40,556
07/2013: - 

====

08/2013: Saga #13 - 55,372 (+3.8%)
09/2013: Saga #14 - 55,585 (+0.4%)
10/2013: Saga #15 - 54,816 (-1.4%)
11/2013: Saga #16 - 54,593 (-0.4%)
12/2013: Saga #17 - 53,264 (-2.4%)
01/2014: Saga #18 - 53,139 (-0.4%)
02-04/2014: -
05/2014: Saga #19 - 55,422 (+4.3%)
06/2014: Saga #20 - 56,497 (+1.9%)
07/2014: Saga #21 - 55,893 (-1.1%)

Holding very steady this month. I’m gonna slightly stick my neck out and predict that this book won’t go below 40,000 copies for the whole of its run, regardless of how long it lasts.

32. Outcast (Image)

06/2014: Outcast #1 - 71,788
07/2014: Outcast #2 - 55,126 (-23.2%)

I would say that’s a very healthy drop; if it can keep its sales around the high 40,000s that has to be a huge success.

54. Low (Image)

07/2014: Low #1 - 43,340

That man Rick Remender has another in an incredible string of hits with Image, this time beautifully illustrated by Greg Tocchini. How many books does this guy write now?

59, 67. Doctor Who Ongoing (IDW)

07/2009: Doctor Who #1 - 10,949
07/2010: Doctor Who #13 - 6,636
07/2011: Doctor Who Vol. 2 #7 - 7,356
07/2013: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #11 - 11,425

====

08/2013: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #12 - 10,220 (-10.5%)
09/2013: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #13 - 14,499 (+41.9%)
10/2013: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #14 - 10,826 (-25.3%)
11/2013: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #15 - 10,926 (+0.9%)
12/2013: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #16 - 10,264 (-6.1%)
12/2013: Doctor Who Special 2013 - 10,926 
07/2014: Doctor Who 11th Doctor #1 - 41,068
07/2014: Doctor Who 12th Doctor #1 - 39,707

I happen to know that the 11th Doctor issue has sold out of a 100,000 copy print run and gone to a second print, so these numbers certainly don’t provide the whole picture. I’ve included the previous IDW run for perspective, but will be splitting the two titles into their own listings from next month.

101. Black Science (Image)

11/2013: Black Science #1 - 40,873
12/2013: Black Science #2 - 20,151 (-50.7%)

04/2014: Black Science #5 - 25,492 (-0.9%)
04/2014: Black Science #6 - 24,892 (-2.3%)
06/2014: Black Science #7 - 28,147 (+13.1%)

The second arc sees a very healthy increase.

105. Wicked & Divine (Image)

06/2014: Wicked & Divine #1 - 42,948
07/2014: Wicked & Divine #2 - 27,962 (-34.9%)

Not too bad a drop at all, and still a solid hit.

106. Star Wars (Dark Horse)

07/2013: Star Wars #7 - 41,611

08/2013: Star Wars #8 - 38,792 (-6.8%)

Into the last 6 issues.

Pretty solid this month.

111. Supreme Blue Rose (Image)

07/2014: Supreme Blue Rose #1 - 26,100

A good launch for Warren Ellis’ turn to play with Rob Liefield’s toys. This is Ellis at his most conceptual and arch, and he’s ably joined by Tula Lotay, doing some lovely things with layout and colour. No idea what it’s actually about yet.

115. Afterlife with Archie (Archie)

10/2013: Afterlife With Archie #1 - 41,533 (47,195)
11/2013: Afterlife With Archie #2 - 19,188 (-53.8%)

06/2014: -
07/2014: Afterlife With Archie #6 - 25,702 (-5.1%)

Holding up very well, even with a slight dip this month.

124. Trees (Image)

05/2014: Trees #1 - 31,926
06/2014: Trees #2 - 25,515 (-20.1%)
07/2014: Trees #3 - 23,822 (-6.6%)

Ellis’ other indie book starts levelling out at an encouragingly high sales level.

130. Transformers vs GI Joe (IDW)

07/2014: Transformers vs GI Joe #1 - 23,009

That’s a very strong debut, higher sales than either title command on their own. Or indeed, added together.

140. Southern Bastards (Image) 

04/2014: Southern Bastards #1 - 38,029
05/2014: Southern Bastards #2 - 25,811 (-32.1%)
06/2014: -
07/2014: Southern Bastards #3 - 21,313 (-17.4%)

Average third-issue drop, I would imagine sales will settle around the high teens.

141. Spread (Image)

07/2014: Spread #1 - 21,150

Justin Jordan’s new book self-admittedly has similar themes to both Saga and Last of Us, in it’s post-apocalyptic setting and narration by a character who is a baby at the time of the book, but it’s been forming since before both of those stories started, and it’s pretty interesting in its own right.

142. My Little Pony (IDW)

07/2013: My Little Pony #9 - 41,444

====

08/2013: My Little Pony #10 - 24,475 (31,860) (-30.4%)

Starting to settle into a gradual downward slide, but still performing well.

157. Buffy TVS (Dark Horse)

07/2013: Buffy TVS Season 9 #23 - 20,768

08/2013: Buffy TVS Season 9 #24 - 20,584 (-0.9%)

The series closes out at a very decent sales-level.

164. Dark Engine (Image)

07/2014: Dark Engine #1 - 17,407

I’ve read the first two issues and enjoyed them, but I honestly couldn’t tell you what this book is about. I would suggest that does not bode well for sales.

169. Nailbiter (Image)

05/2014: Nailbiter #1 - 22,746
06/2014: Nailbiter #2 - 15,193 (-33.2%)

Dead solid.

173. Ragnarok (IDW)

07/2014: Ragnarok #1 - 15,598

Walt Simonson tells a very different tale of the Norse gods than those he used to write in the pages of Marvel’s Mighty Thor.

175. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW)

Shamefully, I managed to miss this last month, when it shot up for the beginning of the new arc. Now it’s dropped back off again a bit, but it’s still up overall.

179. Big Trouble in Little China (Boom!)

06/2014: Big Trouble In Little China #1 - 24,160
07/2014: Big Trouble In Little China #2 - 14,838 (-38.6%)

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.
