DC Comics Month-to Month Sales: March 2015 – End of an Era…

by David Carter Greetings, sales charts fans! It's time once again to look at DC's sales figures. March 2015 was not a good sales month for DC in the North American direct market. Average sales per title for the DCU books (28,559), Vertigo (7,055), and DC as a whole (23,466) were all the lowest they've been since the New 52 started back in September 2011. Most of their sales problems were due to books that missed shipping in March, including their two top sellers, Batman and Justice League, and two other books that are in their top 30% (or so), Wonder Woman and Superman/Wonder Woman. A similar tune plays at the Vertigo label; with Sandman Overture MIA until May, the perpetually delayed American Vampire Second Cycle also not around, and Fables pretty much over (except for the oversized finale coming in July). That leaves Astro City as the regularly-shipping standard bearer for the imprint.
