In the first installment of a new column on surviving in the comics industry, writer Louis Southard asks "Why are we punished for doing what we are told?"
Spring has sprung for the indie comics titles this month, with Orphan Black leading the charge. The first issue sold nearly half a million copies, which is almost more than the combined sales of the top fifty selling indie comics this month. Spawn's 250th issue also spurred a selling frenzy, catapulting the title to the top of the chart - between The Walking Dead and Saga.
This month 138 titles hit the top 300 list, which is slightly down from last month's 142. The Orphan Black phenomenon brought sales up 41.6%; 1,969,396 sales in February compared to 1,391,241 in January. This brings the average number of comics sold to 14,271, which is also up from last month's average of 9,867. We'll see how next month fairs without a knock-out hit like Orphan Black.

The team, led by Akiva Goldsman, includes Kirkman, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man) Zak Penn (Pacific Rim 2 and X-Men: The Last Stand) and Jeff Pinkner (Lost, Fringe) So yes, this is pretty much the superhero franchise dream team. They'll sit around thinking about ways to make the Transformers cool. I got one word: Victorion..
