Marvel Month-to-Month Sales Charts December 2016: STRANGE BEHAVIORS!

by Xavier Lancel

Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I’m french, that’s why I’m talking funny. Please address your complaints to my “Isabelle Huppert is a goddess” country.

This a weird month to analyse. The most disturbing thing is that the usual pattern fall from issue #1 do not work: some titles follow them and other out predict what was supposed to be their doom. Avengers, Avengers 1, and Avengers Occupy do way beter than what last month first issue sales were saying.
Invincible Iron Man seems to be the big winner, with very few buyers lost beetween issue#1 and #2. Coudl it be that either people buying only #1 or variant are beginning to tire up, or, even better, than they actually started to read what they purchase and liked it?

It doesn’t change the fact that of the many launches from last month, almost all the C-list character are biting the dust: Great Lake Avengers, Solo and Foolkiller are out. Surpringly, two of the most unsual characters are performing quite well: Jessica Jones first and, more surprisingly, Mosaic, the all new character. Time of changes and unpredactibility, probably less dark than reality so please, do not take those charts too seriously. Just read and enjoy comics.

Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it’s not because a copy is sold to a shop that it’s sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.

Many thanks to Milton Griepp and ICv2.com for the permission to use their figures. Also thanks to the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!) for its help.

MS MARVEL TPB VOL.6: 3,500

VOL.1 : 45,204 [+804]
VOL.2 : 18,698
VOL.3 : 11,282
VOL.4 : 6,642
VOL.5 : 5,203
HC vol.1 : 1,942
HC vol.2 : 2,653

No floppy issue of Ms Marvel this month but her first TPB is still selling, cracking 45K only trought Diamond. It’s more difficult to make people pick up the remainign volumes after that.

2-IVX ($6)

11/16  Inhumans vs X-Men #0 -    84,161   
12/16  Inhumans vs X-Men #1 -  167,703 (+99.3%)

The new mess is here, and its many many variations, it cost $6 and it is so far a success.

Average +% TPB Sales issues #7-12: +8.4%
STAR WARS TOP VOL.3: 6,689  
Average +% TPB Sales issues #13-19 : +6.1%

A huge surge probably due to the movie release. The first tpb sales are still pilling up.

8- 25-STAR WARS DOCTOR APHRA LTD ($5 issue#1)

12/16  SW Dr Aphra Ltd #1 of   -   99,067
12/16  SW Dr Aphra Ltd #2 of   -   61,417  (-38.0%)

Kind of a popular doctor, for what it seems.

—

9-HULK 

12/16  Hulk #1 -  89,810

We will have to wait for issue #2 numbers to see how this one behave. In the meantime, you can scratch your head and argue about whether it is feminist or not to drop/hide the Miss for what is really a Miss Hulk serie.

11/16  Invincible Iron Man # 1-    97,713
12/16  Invincible Iron Man # 2-    81,271  (-16.8%)

Did someone lock all the automatic #1 buyers somewhere in December? Because this looks VERY promising if there is not trick sales involved.

12/16  Hawkeye #1 -  70,884

VOL.1:  47,268  [+2,681]
VOL.2:  25,657
VOL.3:  13,536
VOL.4:   8,814
VOL.5:   4,109 
VOL.6:   2,583 

Always starting at the same point. This time, the focus is on Kate, or Miss Hawkeye if you prefer. The good news is that Vol.1 of the original Fraction/Aja serie is back in the trade top 300 with huge sells after disapearing during many months. Now if only the other volumes would also dare make a coming back…

19- GAMORA

12/16  Gamora #1 -  65,032

Launching higher than her other Guardians teamates, but that was expected seeing that she is the only one really starting her adventures. It will be interesting to see if one of the three (Gamora, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon) will detach from the others saleswise in the upcoming months.

—

21- AVENGERS 

11/16  Avengers # 1 -  81,885   
12/16  Avengers # 2 -  64,289  (-21.5%)

Another surprise, with a very weak fall from issue#1, placing the title way higher than what is disapointing #1 sales predicted.

22- AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 

04/14  Amazing v3 #1  - 532,586  ( 293.1%)

12/16 Amazing Spider-Man#22 -   63,359   (+ 0.5%)  (CC)

Since #2: -42.9%

Nice results this month, whithout the aid of any variant. Still, lowest level so far. But double what most of the other MU titles are selling. U decide!

12/16 Guardians of Galaxy #15-     63,338  (+123.0%)

Since issue #2 :  +22.5.0 %

Start of the final arc of Michael Bendis. That’s when the boat is sinking that everyone wants to order something at the bar….To be fair, this “Grounded” arc is also launching the new “volume” of Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon.< p>

29- ROCKET RACCOON

10/16 ---
11/16 ---
12/16  Rocket Raccoon #1 -  59,305

Debuting at the exact same level than before. From what I saw on the Previews, it looks like this comics will perhaps deal with animal rights, which would be a clever move.

This new volume is starting a little higher than before. Ramon Perez is pencilling and co-writing it, which is probably the best news in the universe right now.

11/16  Clone Conspiracy Ltd  #2  -  58,921  (-34.7%)

Debuting slighty better than before but that’s probably because Kris Anka had the brains to put Star Lord almost shirtless on the cover.

A good sign for the future. Mark Waid can really be happy this month! (well, except about Black Widow numbers)

11/16  BP World of Wakanda #  1 -  57,073  
12/16  BP World of Wakanda #  2 -  45,009  (-21.1%)

Thanks to a very nice and unusual fall from issue#1 pourcentage, this one is not following the Dr Strange Sorcerers Supreme sales pattern.

Average +% TPB Sales issues #1-5 : +14.3%

On the bright side, TPB sales are working very well, following the Deadpool TPB usual pattern. On the other side, issue#12 is taking a blow, but it’s a fill-in issue before the conclusion of the arc next month.

50-AMAZING SPIDER-MAN RENEW YOUR VOWS ($5)

11/16  ASM Renew your vows # 1 -  96,111 
12/16  ASM Renew your vows # 2 -  43,128  (-55.1%)

A huge blow, but almost putting the serie in the zone where the Gerry Conway mini have been selling those last months.

Average +% from issue #1-5 : +7.4%

It’s a little late but Vol.1 in tpb is at long last available. Dr Strange is first released in Hc format, than later in TPB. Those first month sales are excellent. Let’s see if they will improve with a come back in the top 300 in the following months. Is it people picking up the serie after the release of the tpb: Floppy sales are slighty up, a rarity.

Looking at those numbers, you wouldn’t know Brian Steelfreeze is back as the artist. Marvel may have been too greedy too fast with this one.

What was the purpose of launching so higher to be only 6K over the previous volume #2 numbers? Anyone answering “quick and easy cash” is a winner.

11/16  Avengers # 1.1 -  41,258  
12/16  Avengers # 2.1 -  37.746  (- 8.5%)

Almost unheard of. This one is losing less than 10% of its #1 readers! It was of course unpredictable and put the title in a way more confortable sales zone than the one he would have reached with the usual 45-55% loss. That’s two times this month with Mark Waid!

The novelty effect seems to wear off a little, with female variations of Iron Man, Hulk, hawkeye and soon Captain America taking over a center stage which was almost empty before.

People do not seem interested in a monthly serie starring the character, but more by one-time products using her as a gimmick, what she was in the first place. Seeing how the Special is outselling the hurted ongoing, that seem pretty obvious.

Another launch with very weak debut sales, followed by excellent fall from issue#2 numbers. The whole fabric of sales pattern is in shambles. How do you expect me to comment that? Long live unpredictability!

The annual and the ongoing are selling at the same level, like it seems to be the case whenever annuals are concerned. Will Marvel keep the serie around because of the various TV shows involved or will it only keep Iron Fist, soon to be launched?

Putting an artistic team reminiscing of the 90’s (spike hair, grinned teeth…) on a serie which was the antithesis of the 90’s with its classic approach and concerns with continuity and use of every corner of the MU universe still baffles me. That is the result.

Tpb sales are not strong and floppy sales are dipping. This one didn’t work out but still did way better than Foolkiller, Great Lake and all the others in the waiting line to be cancelled after only one arc.

That’s what you get for not having former editor Gregory Lockhard – and parrot grandmaster- to drew a variant cover for it. You can redeem yourself by picking up his freelance productions with Tim Fish and Monica Gallagher at Poison Press.
