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 sinking-in-the-middle-age country.
Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops located in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that if a copy is sold to a shop that doesn't mean it's sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.

This month is again lead by the Star Wars franchise at Marvel, but, more surprisingly, it is literally invading the lower portion of the chart with 10k to 20k reorder activity on several issues! There really are a lot of Marvel floppy comics on sale this month (a little more than 100!!). There were so many different variant covers things going on this month that I didn't bother trying to understand it.

Marvel is leading the way as the most expensive publisher of floppy comics, its customers have never been asked to spend so much in a month. Well, until next month and its invasion of #1 and famous crossovers!

Here's a bit of a shock; given that Marvel Studios (the feature film division anyway) reportedly won't have a presence at San Diego Comic...

New documentary takes audiences into the world of indie development, Batman wants $40 more bucks from you, Star Wars is liquidating their games digitally, and you'll believe a man can skydive on to a plane and then backflip off of it with a shotgun.

Avengers: Age of Ultron launches the Summer movie season on May 1st, but before that the Marvel synergy machine rolls out across every facet...

EA and DICE brought another reason to cheer at Celebration. November, let's all play Star Wars together.

The latest Star Wars teaser is out, and All of The Internet is caving to the perfect sense of nostalgia it invokes.

Star Wars Celebrations is underway and Twitter is collectively peeing its pants as announcements roll out, but here's one of the first:A new limited series for Lando Calrissian to be written by Charles Soule with Art by Alex Maleev. SOLD RIGHT THERE.

Marvel's Princess Leia #1 was the #1 book in March according to Diamond's just released sales charts....another month for a female led title to top the charts following Spider-Gwen last month. Howard the Duck #1 also made the top ten, a pretty strong debut. And yes, I know the Marvel Star Wars franchise is so strong (esp. with variant covers) that they could put out a Nien Nunb #1 and it would probably top the charts, but Spider-Gwen and Ms Marvel also made strong showings elsewhere so this is not a fluke.

March Madness begins, as the "First Four" play in Dayton to see who will advance into the first round of the NCAA Men's Basketball...
