Indie Month-to-Month Sales May 2014: Image has top four new entries

By Chris Rice

Another decent month for Image, who have all of the top four new entries, including Warren Ellis’s return to creator-owned books. Elsewhere Valiant appear to be going through a radical shift in publishing model, and don’t look too healthy over-all. Stick around after the top 300, as there’s a bit of an extra this month.

149 indie titles charted in the top 300, slightly down on last month’s 151. Overall sales were up at 1,632,573, compared to last month’s 1,688,787 and the average sales this month are 10,957, down on last month’s 11,184. 16 titles went up in sales and 116 went down, with the rest made up of new entries and specials.

Image are number one again with an 8.86% dollar share and an 9.96% market share, IDW go up to second place with a 6.38% dollar share and 4.18% market share. Dark Horse have a 5.96% dollar share and a 5.50% market share, Dynamite have a 2.30% dollar share and 2.29% market share and Boom! have a 1.97 % dollar share and 1.84% market share.

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

Horror series about a town that seems to be producing way more than its fair share of serial killers.

An alternate history book looking at unionized superheroes. It’s good.

Again, not too bad a drop, this should settle down around the 17,000 mark I guess.

128. Chaos (Dynamite)

Most of the old Chaos characters in one book.

A decent start for what must be one of the last SW minis from Dark Horse.

142. Doctor Spektor (Dynamite)

05/2014: Doctor Spektor #1 - 16,471

Mark Waid relaunches one of the few Gold Key books that wasn’t done by Valiant in the nineties. An okay start, but they’ve all had big second-issue drops so far.

151. The Woods (Boom!)

05/2014: The Woods #1 - 13,916

A riff on the old Drifting Classroom manga comic, a school and all of the students and teachers get mysteriously transported to a lethal alien planet. Good fun, actually.

04/2014: Lumberjanes #1 - 13,129
05/2014: Lumberjanes #2 - 9,904 (-24.6%)

Another book getting lots of good word-of-mouth.

181. Madame Frankenstein (Image)

05/2014: Madame Frankenstein #1 - 9,771

Steve Niles playing with horror tropes, as he is wont to do.

182. Star Trek Ongoing (IDW)

04/2014: -
05/2014: Rocket Girl #5 - 9,630 (-7.1%)

Brandon Montclare, writer of Rocket Girl, was kind enough to make some very interesting points in last month’s comments section, explaining that if the book stays around the 12,000 mark, he and artist Amy Reeder make as much as either of them would working on a book at Marvel & DC. However, 8,000 or lower and the book can’t survive for long. So unfortunately at the moment the book is on the edge a bit. It’s taking a break before the next arc now, hopefully the trade will do well.

Both books totally solid, and seemingly unaffected by the upcoming new film.

187. Caliban (Avatar)

04/2014: Caliban #1 - 13,196
05/2014: Caliban #2 - 9,454 (-28.4%)

I’m really enjoying Garth Ennis’ sci-fi horror, reminds me a lot of Event Horizon, which is one of my favorite horror flicks.

189, 193. God is Dead (Avatar)

09/2013: God Is Dead #1 - 26,664

194. Transformers Windblade (IDW)

04/2014: Transformers Windblade #1 - 9,855
05/2014: Transformers Windblade #2 - 8,980 (-8.9%)

That’s a very healthy drop, reflecting the interest in the character.

05/2014: Sonic #260 - 8,866 (-6.6%)

As I suspected, 3,267 copies of last month’s issue slipped to this month, and it actually did pretty well once those numbers are added. It drops a little this month, but there is another Mega Man crossover coming up, not a surprise after the success of the last one.

198. Unity (Valiant)

03/2014: Sons of Anarchy #7 - 9,910 (-11.7%)
04/2014: Sons of Anarchy #8 - 9,304 (-6.1%)
05/2014: Sons of Anarchy #9 - 8,511 (-8.5%)

Still dropping quite fast.

200. Samurai Jack (IDW)

10/2013: Samurai Jack #1 - 23,661
11/2013: Samurai Jack #2 - 12,645 (-46.6%)

04/2014: Samurai Jack #7 - 8,990 (+0.3%)
05/2014: Samurai Jack #8 - 8,471 (-5.8%)

Drops resume.

201. King Conan (Dark Horse)

05/2013: Hour of The Dragon #1 - 12,566

====

06/2013: Hour of The Dragon #2 - 9,808 (-21.9%)
07/2013: Hour of The Dragon #3 - 9,319 (-5.0%)
08/2013: Hour of The Dragon #4 - 9,492 (+1.9%)
09/2013: Hour of The Dragon #5 - 9,358 (-1.4%)
10/2013: Hour of The Dragon #6 - 9,131 (-2.4%)
02/2014: Conqueror #1 - 9,646 (+5.6%)
03/2014: Conqueror #2 - 8,495 (-11.9%)
04/2014: Conqueror #3 - 8,519 (+0.3%)
05/2014: Conqueror #4 - 8,428 (-1.1%)

Pretty solid since the second issue.

202. Turok, Dinosaur Hunter (Dynamite)

02/2014: Turok Dinosaur Hunter #1 - 30,722
03/2014: Turok Dinosaur Hunter #2 - 11,296 (-63.0%)
04/2014: Turok Dinosaur Hunter #3 - 9,586 (-15.1%)
05/2014: Turok Dinosaur Hunter #4 - 8,426 (-12.1%)

203. Magnus Robot Fighter (Dynamite)

03/2014: Magnus Robot Fighter #1 - 27,497
04/2014: Magnus Robot Fighter #2 - 9,898 (-64.0%)
05/2014: Magnus Robot Fighter #3 - 8,333 (-15.8%)

The last two of the new Gold Key books, not holding up very well.

204. BPRD (Dark Horse)

05/2013: Hell on Earth #107 Wasteland #1 - 10,493

====

06/2013: Hell on Earth #108  - 10,093 (-3.8%)
07/2013: Hell on Earth #109  - 10,018 (-0.7%)
08/2013: Hell on Earth #110  - 9,842 (-1.8%)

02/2014: Hell on Earth #116  - 8,674 (-4.4%)
03/2014: Hell on Earth #117  - 8,510 (-1.9%)
04/2014: Hell on Earth #118  - 8,473 (-0.4%)
05/2014: Hell on Earth #119  - 8,306 (-2.0%)

Standard attrition.

205. Flash Gordon (Dynamite) 

04/2014: Flash Gordon #1 - 14,398
05/2014: Flash Gordon #2 - 8,255 (-42.7%)

Not a great drop.

206. Littlest Pet Shop (IDW)

05/2014: Littlest Pet Shop #1 - 8,211

Squarely aimed at the My Little Pony audience, but I suspect the reduced sales reflect the lack of cache amongst the bronies…

207. Sex (Image)

05/2013: Sex #3 - 20,509

====

06/2013: Sex #4 - 17,938 (-12.5%)
07/2013: Sex #5 - 15,996 (-10.8%)
08/2013: Sex #6 - 14,488 (-9.4%)
09/2013: Sex #7 - 13,074 (-9.8%)
10/2013: Sex #8 - 12,082 (-7.6%)
12/2013: Sex #9 - 10,707 (-11.4%)
01/2014: Sex #10 - 9,947 (-7.1%)
02/2014: Sex #11 - 9,302 (-6.5%)
03/2014: Sex #12 - 8,830 (-5.1%)
04/2014: -
05/2014: Sex #13 - 8,192 (-7.2%)

Still falling fast, but probably approaching the point of unprofitability.

208. The Veil (Dark Horse)

03/2014: Veil #1 - 14,445
04/2014: Veil #2 - 9,627 (-33.3%)
05/2014: Veil #3 - 8,184 (-15.0%)

An average third-issue drop, certainly this isn’t doing as well as his series Lazarus.

209. Twilight Zone (Dynamite)

12/2013: Twilight Zone #1 - 21,723
01/2014: Twilight Zone #2 - 11,537 (-46.9%)
02/2014: Twilight Zone #3 - 10,061 (-12.8%)
03/2014: -
04/2014: Twilight Zone #4 - 9,014 (-10.4%)
05/2014: Twilight Zone #5 - 8,140 (-9.7%)

A slightly smaller drop this month, but not looking too good.

210. Harbinger (Valiant)

05/2013: Harbinger #12 - 12,572

====

06/2013: Harbinger #13 - 12,930 (+2.8%)
07/2013: Harbinger #14 - 10,709 (-17.2%)
08/2013: Harbinger #15 - 12,086 (+12.9%)

10/2013: Harbinger #17 - 10,686 (+4.8%)
11/2013: Harbinger #18 - 9,203 (-13.9%)
12/2013: Harbinger #19 - 9,237 (+0.4%)
01/2014: Harbinger #20 - 9,060 (-1.9%)
02/2014: Harbinger #21 - 8,473 (-6.5%)
03/2014: Harbinger Bleeding Monk #0 - 8,423
04/2014: Harbinger #22 - 8,213 (-3.1%)
05/2014: Harbinger #23 - 8,011 (-2.5%)

Ending at #25, and going to a mini-series, Omegas. The future does not appear to be very bright.

211. Revenge (Image)

02/2014: Revenge #1 - 17,362
03/2014: Revenge #2 - 10,112 (-41.8%)
04/2014: -
05/2014: Revenge #3 - 7,969 (-21.2%)

Rather a steep drop, only one more issue to go.

212. Elfquest (Dark Horse)

10/2013: Elfquest Final Quest Special - 9,680
01/2014: Elfquest Final Quest #1 - 9,861 (+1.9%)
03/2014: Elfquest Final Quest #2 - 8,390 (-14.9%)
04/2014: -
05/2014: Elfquest Final Quest #3 - 7,967 (-5.0%)

Less of a drop this month.

213. Stray Bullets (Image)

03/2014: Stray Bullets #41 - 8,297
03/2014: Stray Bullets The Killers #1 - 14,208
04/2014: Stray Bullets The Killers #2 - 9,147 (-35.6%)
05/2014: Stray Bullets The Killers #3 - 7,935 (-13.2%)

Slipping, I hope it stabilizes soon though, I’d like this book to be around a lot longer.

214. Godzilla (IDW)

05/2013: Godzilla #12 - 6,782

====

06/2013: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #1 - 9,813 (+44.7%)
07/2013: Godzilla #13 - 6,741 (-0.6%)
08/2013: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #2 - 7,483 (-23.7%)
08/2013: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #3 - 7,080 (-5.4%)
09/2013: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #4 - 6,820 (-3.7%)
10/2013: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #5 - 6,920 (+1.4%)
11/2013: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #6 - 6,653 (-3.9%)
12/2013: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #7 - 6,587 (-0.9%)
01/2014: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #8 - 6,530 (-0.8%)
02/2014: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #9 - 6,531 (0%)
03/2014: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #10 - 6,677 (+0.2%)
04/2014: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #11 - 6,917 (-3.6%)
05/2014: Godzilla Rulers of The Earth #12 - 7.890 (+14.1%)

A bit of a boost as the film comes out.

215. Clive Barker Nightbreed (Boom!)

05/2014: Clive Barkers Nightbreed #1 - 7,790

Not a great start for the return of Barker’s monster clan.

216. Grimm Fairy Tales Oz (Zenescope)

07/2013: GFT Oz #1 - 19,237
08/2013: GFT Oz #2 - 11,119 (-42.2%)
10/2013: GFT Oz #3 - 10,537 (-5.2%)
11/2013: GFT Oz #4 - 12,064 (+14.5%)
12/2013: GFT Oz #5 - 10,158 (-15.8%)
02/2014: GFT Oz #6 - 9,631 (-5.2%)
03-04/2014: -
05/2014: Warlord of Oz #1 - 7,787 (-19.1%)

I assume this is a sequel to the Oz series. Not a very auspicious start for this either.

217. The Shadow Midnight Moscow (Dynamite)

05/2014: Shadow Midnight Moscow #1 - 7,772

Coming in a little above the main title.

218. Uber (Avatar)

05/2013: Uber #1 - 16,109

====

06/2013: Uber #2 - 16,160 (+0.3%)
07/2013: Uber #3 - 14,594 (-9.7%)
07/2013: Uber #4 - 12,030 (-17.6%)
08/2013: Uber #5 - 11,598 (-3.6%)
10/2013: Uber #6 - 10,747 (-7.3%)
11/2013: Uber #7 - 9,784 (-9.0%)
12/2013: Uber #8 - 9,065 (-7.3%)
01/2014: Uber #9 - 8,448 (-6.8%)
03/2014: Uber #10 - 8,133 (-3.7%)
03/2014: Uber Special #1 - 7,176
04/2014: Uber #11 - 7,732 (-4.9%)
04/2014: Uber #12 - 7,694 (-0.5%)
05/2014: Uber #13 - 7,653 (-0.5%)

Pretty solid these last couple of months.

219. Mega Man (Archie) 

05/2013: Mega Man #25 - 9,191

====

06/2013: Mega Man #26 - 9,290 (+1.1%)
07/2013: Mega Man #27 - 10,332 (+11.2%)
08/2013: Mega Man #28 - 8,404 (-18.7%)
09/2013: Mega Man #29 - 8,042 (-4.3%)
10/2013: Mega Man #30 - 8,086 (+0.5%)
11/2013: Mega Man #31 - 7,854 (-2.8%)
12/2013: Mega Man #32 - 7,352 (-6.4%)
01/2014: Mega Man #33 - 7,015 (-4.6%)
02/2014: -
03/2014: Mega Man #34 - 6,688 (-4.7%)
04/2014: Mega Man #35 - 6,681 (-0.1%)
04/2014: Mega Man #36 - 6,400 (-4.2%)
05/2014: Mega Man #37 - 7,640 (+19.4%)

The beginning of a four-parter featuring Mega Man X as well as the normal version gets a nice boost.

220. The Shadow (Dynamite)

05/2013: The Shadow #13 - 11,474

====

06/2013: The Shadow #14 - 10,071 (-12.2%)
07/2013: The Shadow #15 - 9,851 (-21.8%)
08/2013: The Shadow #16 - 9,484 (-3.7%)
09/2013: The Shadow #17 - 9,880 (+4.2%)
09/2013: The Shadow Annual 2013 - 6,497
10/2013: The Shadow #18 - 10,863 (+9.9%)
11/2013: The Shadow #19 - 8,955 (-17.6%)
11/2013: The Shadow #20 - 8,805 (-1.7%)
12/2013: -
01/2014: The Shadow #21 - 8,500 (-3.5%)
02/2014: The Shadow #22 - 8,063 (-5.1%)
03/2014: The Shadow #23 - 7,809 (-3.1%)
04/2014: The Shadow #24 - 7,588 (-2.8%)
05/2014: The Shadow #25 - 7,602 (+0.2%)

A tiny uptick this month for the 25th issue.

221. Abe Sapien (Dark Horse )

05/2013: Abe Sapien Dark & Terrible #2 - 10,445

====

06/2013: Abe Sapien Dark & Terrible #3 - 10,250 (-1.9%)
07/2013: Abe Sapien #4 - 10,314 (+0.6%)
08/2013: Abe Sapien #5 - 9,676 (-6.2%)
09/2014: -
10/2013: Abe Sapien #6 - 9,120 (-5.7%)
11/2013: Abe Sapien #7 - 8,709 (-4.5%)
12/2013: Abe Sapien #8 - 8,622 (-1.0%)
01/2014: Abe Sapien #9 - 8,516 (-1.2%)
02/2014: Abe Sapien #10 - 7,995 (-6.1%)

04/2014: -
05/2014: Abe Sapien #12 - 7,559 (-3.4%)

Slowly slipping down.

222. Archer & Armstrong (Valiant)

05/2013: Archer & Armstrong #0 - 12,076

====

06/2013: Archer & Armstrong #10 - 13,241 (+8.6%)
07/2013: Archer & Armstrong #11 - 9,880 (-25.4%)
08/2013: Archer & Armstrong #12 - 9,971 (+0.9%)
09/2013: Archer & Armstrong #13 - 9,910 (-0.6%)
10/2013: Archer & Armstrong #14 - 10,811 (+9.1%)
11/2013: Archer & Armstrong #15 - 8,998 (-16.8%)
12/2013: Archer & Armstrong #16 - 8,608 (-4.3%)
01/2014: Archer & Armstrong #17 - 8,112 (-5.8%)
02/2014: Archer & Armstrong Archer #0 - 8,671 (+6.9%)
03/2014: Archer & Armstrong #18 - 8,156 (+0.5%)
04/2014: Archer & Armstrong #19 - 7,969 (-2.3%)
05/2014: Archer & Armstrong #20 - 7,553 (-5.2%)

Despite being one of the lower selling of their books, A&A is continuing as an ongoing series. Possibly because a film has just been announced.

223. Sonic Universe (Archie)

05/2013: Sonic Universe #52 - 11,500

====

06/2013: Sonic Universe #53 - 11,123 (-3.3%)
07/2013: Sonic Universe #54 - 11,398 (+2.5%)
08/2013: Sonic Universe #55 - 9,239 (-18.9%)
09/2013: Sonic Universe #56 - 9,253 (+0.1%)
10/2013: Sonic Universe #57 - 8,874 (-4.1%)
11/2013: Sonic Universe #58 - 8,433 (-5.0%)
12/2013: Sonic Universe #59 - 8,123 (-3.7%)
01/2014: -
02/2014: Sonic Universe #60 - 7,902 (-2.7%)
03/2014: Sonic Universe #61 - 7,715 (-2.4%)
04/2014: Sonic Universe #62 - 7,927 (-2.7%)
05/2014: Sonic Universe #63 - 7,507 (-5.3%)

A slightly bigger than normal drop, but it’ll probably rebound a bit.

226. Star Trek New Visions (IDW)

05/2014: Mirror Cracked #1 - 7,411

An odd concept this, a book using photo-montage of the original series to tell new stories, executed and written by John Byrne. It’s an $8 book, so these are quite healthy sales.

227. Bloodshot (Valiant)

05/2013: Bloodshot #11 - 11,146

====

06/2013: Bloodshot #12 - 12,145 (+9.0%)
07/2013: Bloodshot #12 - 10,058 (-17.2%)
08/2013: Bloodshot #0 - 11,303 (+12.4%)
09/2013: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #14 - 10,225 (-9.5%)
10/2013: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #15 - 9,806 (-4.1%)
11/2013: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #16 - 8,666 (-11.6%)
12/2013: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #17 - 8,142 (-6.0%)
01/2014: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #18 - 8,529 (+4.8%)
02/2014: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #0 - 7,895 (-7.4%)
02/2014: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #19 - 7,281 (-7.8%)
03/2014: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #20 - 7,929 (+8.9%)
04/2014: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #21 - 7,630 (-3.8%)
05/2014: Bloodshot & The Hard Corps #22 - 7,350 (-3.7%)

Penultimate issue, then into an Armour Hunters Miniseries. After that, who knows?

230. The Shadow Year One (Dynamite)

05/2013: Shadow Year One #3 - 13,035

====

06/2013: -
07/2013: Shadow Year One #4 - 12,352 (-5.2%)
06/2013: -
09/2013: Shadow Year One #5 - 11,476 (-7.1%)
10/2013: Shadow Year One #6 - 10,351 (-9.8%)
01/2014: Shadow Year One #7 - 9,201 (-11.1%)
02-03/2014: -
04/2014: Shadow Year One #8 - 8,230 (-10.5%)
05/2014: Shadow Year One #9 - 7,262 (-11.8%)

Falling hard.

232. Black Dynamite (IDW)

01/2014: Black Dynamite #1 - 11,040 
05/2014: Black Dynamite #2 - 7,233 (-34.5%)

Average second-issue drop.

233. Quantum & Woody (Valiant)

07/2013: Quantum & Woody #1 - 17,622
08/2013: Quantum & Woody #2 - 12,818 (-27.3%)
09/2013: Quantum & Woody #3 - 10,734 (-16.3%)
10/2013: Quantum & Woody #4 - 11,242 (+4.7%)
11/2013: Quantum & Woody #5 - 10,816 (-3.8%)
12/2013: Quantum & Woody #6 - 8,855 (-18.1%)
01/2014: Quantum & Woody #7 - 8,590 (-3.0%)
02/2014: Quantum & Woody #8 - 7,992 (-7.0%)
03/2014: Quantum & Woody Goat #0 - 8,747 
04/2014: Quantum & Woody #9 - 7,896 (-1.2%)
05/2014: Quantum & Woody #10 - 7,232 (-1.2%)

It looks like this is ending with #12, to be replaced by a mini-series teaming them up with Archer & Armstrong.

236. Pathfinder (Dynamite)

05/2013: Pathfinder #7 - 6,313

====

06/2013: -
07/2013: Pathfinder #8 - 6,085 (-3.6%)
08/2013: -
09/2013: Pathfinder #9 - ??? (???)
10/2013: Pathfinder #10 - ???? (???)
11/2013: Pathfinder #11 - 5,110 (???)
05/2014: Pathfinder City of Secrets #1 - 7,101 (+39.0)

Not a bad start compared to the last series, but if it suffers the usual Dynamite second-issue drop this could be it’s last appearance here.

237. Warlord of Mars Dejah Thoris (Dynamite)

05/2013: Dejah Thoris #25 - 6,724

====

06/2013: Dejah Thoris #26 - 6,593 (-1.9%)
07/2013: Dejah Thoris #27 - 6,506 (-1.3%)
08/2013: Dejah Thoris #28 - 6,366 (-2.2%)
09/2013: Dejah Thoris #29 - ???? (???)
10/2013: Dejah Thoris #30 - ???? (???)
10/2013: Dejah Thoris #31 - ???? (???)
11/2013: Dejah Thoris #32 - 5,611 (???)
12/2013: Dejah Thoris #33 - 5,502 (-1.9%)
01/2014: Dejah Thoris #34 - 5,392 (-2.0%)
02/2014: Dejah Thoris #35 - 5,394 (+0.1%)
02/2014: Dejah Thoris #36 - 5,320 (-1.4%)
03/2014: Dejah Thoris #37 - 5,237 (-1.5%)
05/2014: Dejah of Mars #1 - 7,085 (+35.3%)

It looks like this is the last gasp for the Mars books. After this four-issue series there’s nothing scheduled.

238. Danger Girl (IDW)

05/2013: Danger Girl Trinity #2 - 8,167

====

06/2013: Danger Girl Trinity #3 - 8,144 (-0.3%)
07/2013: Danger Girl Trinity #4 - 7,790 (-4.3%)

For the first time this month Diamond have made the entire top 400 available on its website. Unfortunately I’m not able to cover those titles in the same depth as the rest of the chart, as it would add another week to the production of the column, but I’m listing the notable books, largely in surprise at how low some of these books sell.

304 Clone #16 (Mr) – 4,593
309 Mark Waid Green Hornet #12 – 4,491
314 Bounce #12 – 4,364

397 Star Mage #2 – 1,839

======

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.
