Marvel Month-to-Month Sales: November 2013 — Event season rolls onhttp://ift.tt/1b464hI
by Paul O’Brien
Event season rolled on in November, as INFINITY reached its climax, while the Ultimate imprint’s CATACLYSM got under way. Meanwhile, ASTONISHING X-MEN was relaunched as AMAZING X-MEN, and the MARVEL KNIGHTS X-MEN and LONGSHOT SAVES THE MARVEL UNIVERSE minis kick off.
Though DC had four books in the top five – BATMAN, HARLEY QUINN, SUPERMAN UNCHAINED and FOREVER EVIL – Marvel still edged them in their share of the North American direct market, leading by 34% to 32% in unit terms, and 30% to 29% in dollars. As has already been pointed out on The Beat, this means Marvel and DC’s combined dollar share dips below 60% – something that hasn’t happened in a decade.

3. AMAZING X-MEN

6 mnth (+365.7%)
1 year (+307.3%)
2 year (+243.2%)
3 year ( --- )
4 year ( +80.7%)
5 year ( --- )
While this isn’t officially a relaunch, the fact is that AMAZING X-MEN replaces the flagging ASTONISHING X-MEN on the schedule. A higher profile creative team and a shiny new adjective (or at least, one that hasn’t been used since the Age of Apocalypse crossover back in the 90s) duly boosts sales.
By normal Marvel standards, 112K is a very good number, even with multiple variant covers attached. But the last time Marvel relaunched an X-Men title was in May, when X-MEN was somewhat arbitrarily renumbered. That relaunch had estimated first month sales of 178K, and plainly this one is quite some distance behind.
6. INFINITY 08/13 Infinity #1 of 6 - 205,819 09/13 Infinity #2 of 6 - 125,985 (-38.8%) 09/13 Infinity #3 of 6 - 123,285 ( -2.1%) 10/13 Infinity #4 of 6 - 113,003 ( -8.3%) 10/13 Infinity #5 of 6 - 106,567 ( -5.7%) 11/13 Infinity #6 of 6 - 100,292 ( -5.9%)
The whole series places above the 100K mark, which I imagine Marvel will be happy enough with. It’s a modest improvement compared with AGE OF ULTRON’s first six issues. It’s nowhere close to AVENGERS VS X-MEN (which was over 185K six issues in), but still eminently respectable.
7,11. ALL-NEW X-MEN
11/12 All-New X-Men #1 - 181,693

6 mnth (-11.8%)
1 year (-29.6%)
Two issues this month. The “Battle of the Atom” crossover is over, but the Decade Variant covers on issue #18 are apparently enough of a draw to delay the sales drop to issue #19. After that, though, we’re back to business as usual.
8,10. SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN
11/03 Amazing #501 - 94,558
11/08 Amazing #578 - 66,564

Issue #21 didn’t have a variant cover, hence the dip for that issue. And even without the bells and whistles, that issue still sells significantly ahead of the closing issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, showing that this direction has delivered a sustained sales boost that lasted the year.
15. AVENGERS
11/03 Avengers v3 #73 - 58,177

6 mnth ( -5.9%)
1 year ( +24.7%)
2 year ( +17.5%)
3 year ( -26.0%)
10 year ( +14.3%)
This is an INFINITY tie-in, not that it’s obvious from the numbers above. AVENGERS doesn’t seem to have had much benefit from the crossover, but then most people who are interested in getting the full INFINITY story were probably buying this title already.
16. UNCANNY X-MEN
11/03 Uncanny X-Men #433 - 90,764
11/08 Uncanny X-Men #504 - 77,773

Returning to regular sales after the “Battle of the Atom” crossover concluded.
18. SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL 11/13 Annual #1 - 63,595
Only around 10K behind the non-variant issues of the ongoing series, which is pretty good. The solicitation stressed that the story has some wider significance, and that may have helped.
19. UNCANNY AVENGERS
11/12 Uncanny Avengers #2 - 114,257 (-62.4%)
12/12 ---
01/13 Uncanny Avengers #3 - 92,165 (-19.3%)

6 mnth (-19.7%)

There’s a variant cover on this issue, which probably explains the marginal uptick. The general trend continues to drift down.

A very gentle downward trend, but the relaunched DEADPOOL title remains way up from the last two years of the previous volume.
33. DEADPOOL ANNUAL 11/13 Annual #1 - 43,922
Almost matching the sales of the parent title. Again, it may have helped that the solicitation promised a story with some significance to the character (even if it was just an explanation of what happened to the other voices in his head).
34. MIGHTY AVENGERS 09/13 Mighty Avengers v2 #1 - 101,921 10/13 Mighty Avengers v2 #2 - 54,862 (-46.2%) 11/13 Mighty Avengers v2 #3 - 42,210 (-23.1%)
Not holding up brilliantly so far, but then they have been dialling back on the number of variant covers with each issue. This is an INFINITY tie-in, but then the next two issues are INHUMANITY tie-ins, which ought to cushion the fall. Still, it could be a while before we get a sense of where this title is going to wind up.
35. CATACLYSM 07/13 Hunger #1 of 4 - 70,835 08/13 Hunger #2 of 4 - 44,929 (-36.6%) 09/13 --- 10/13 Hunger #3 of 4 - 39,915 (-11.2%) 10/13 Hunger #4 of 4 - 36,775 ( -7.9%) 10/13 Cataclysm #0.1 - 37,589 ( +2.2%) 11/13 Cataclysm #1 of 5 - 42,109 (+12.0%)
As we’ll see later, CATACLYSM does seem to have boosted sales on the individual Ultimate books. Nonetheless, it’s plainly a bad sign when the first issue of CATACLYSM can’t even match the second issue of HUNGER, a mini which was supposed to be building interest for this event. When the threatened extinction of the Ultimate Universe can’t even make the top 30, it does suggest that (with the arguable exception of the Spider-Man book) it’s past time for Marvel to cut their losses on this line.

Holding up pretty well. Having bottomed out at 33K at the tail end of 2012, HAWKEYE has rebounded to the 40K range and seems to be staying there. Books that do this without any hype beyond good word of mouth are incredibly rare, so it’s clearly doing something right.

This issue was billed as a 100th issue anniversary, with multiple variant covers. Even allowing for the fact that the October issue was an INFINITY tie-in, I suspect Marvel were hoping for a bit more movement than this.

It’s shed readers over its run, but 31K is still a more than respectable level for a mini to wrap up at. The strategy of launching this book as part of a Spider-Man month seems to have worked.

Relaunching after issue #17, when the two X-Force titles appear to be merging after a two month crossover. As matters stand, the two books are entirely unconnected – in fact, UNCANNY X-FORCE doesn’t even star a team of that name.

We’re now more or less back to pre-relaunch levels, so it’s possible sales will now level off a bit.

10/13 Fantomex Max #1 of 4 - 19,259
11/13 Fantomex Max #2 of 4 - 14,171 (-26.4%)
Passable, given that it’s the Max imprint, and sales expectations are lower.
155. DEXTER

A follow-up mini, DOWN UNDER, is scheduled for February. Books like this aren’t aimed principally at the direct market, but for what it’s worth, DEXTER has done quite well for a licensed book.

In sales terms, POWERS seems to have petered out as an ongoing title.
210. PAINKILLER JANE [Icon]
11/13 Painkiller Jane #1 of 4 - 8,967
The latest arrival at the Icon imprint makes little impact in sales terms, but it’s not Marvel’s problem.
The previous series, published by Dynamite, wrapped up in March 2008 with estimated orders of 6,692.

The OZ adaptations end in December with the conclusion of the current mini.
250. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER ADAPTATION
11/13 Adaptation #1 of 2 - 6,740
Self-explanatory. Movie adaptations aren’t really aimed at the direct market.
And the all ages books…
