How to use this Page

by Jason Enright

September is always an interesting month because DC does its big line-wide event with crazy covers and Marvel has to find a way to compete. The answer this year was Death of Wolverine, which shipped two issues this month and landed the number 1 and number 2 spots. DC still won overall market share, but Marvel still managed to make a few headlines themselves and capture those top two spots. Beyond those books, there is a lot of standard attrition this month and a lot of books ramping up for AXIS which is likely to lead into several new series and rebooted series over the next few months. Below is a breakdown of some of this month’s stats which includes a rise in the number of $4.99 books, which is very interesting.

79 books in total
11 double shipped books
5 X-Men books (7 if you count X-Factor and X-Force)
7 Avengers books (8 if you count the Ultimates)
2 Annuals
4 Original Sin and Original Sin Tie-In books

2 titles over 100,000 copies
2 titles between 75,000 and 100,000 copies
13 titles between 50,000 and 75,000 copies
27 titles between 25,000 and 50,000 copies
35 titles under 25,000
14 $4.99 books
61 $3.99 books
4 $2.99 books

What does it take to give Wolverine the best sales he has had in years? You just have to kill him. This is going to be a 4 part series, and the first two issues bring in Marvel’s best sales this month. This is a 4 issue series split over 2 months and it will be interesting to see if the final issue (where Wolverine actually dies) gets a big sales spike like issue 1 did.

Spider-Man is settling down a bit after its big launch and Original Sin Tie-In issues, but with Spider-Verse right around the corner, it should get another sales boost soon.

7. Original Sin
04/14  Original Sin #0 -  73,024 [6,166] 
05/14  Original Sin #1 - 147,045  (101.4%)

08/14  Original Sin #7 -  91,291  (  2.2%)
09/14  Original Sin #8 -  90,478  ( -0.9%)

Original Sin stayed remarkably stable around 90k for its entire run and its tie-ins boosted a lot of other books. People say they hate events, but these books bring in a lot of money for Marvel and boost the whole line, so it is very clear why Marvel keeps doing them.

Superior Spider-man has returned for Spider-Verse and the numbers are falling a little more quickly than his previous run. This title will go away again next month as it is absorbed back into Spider-Verse.

22. Amazing Spider-Man #1.X
05/14  Amazing Spi #1.1  - 116,555 
06/14  Amazing Spi #1.2  -  86,315  (-25.9%)

08/14  Amazing Spi #1.4  -  66,431  (-10.6%)
09/14  Amazing Spi #1.5  -  63,986  ( -3.7%)

The final issue for this 5 part miniseries ends very strongly and this being a Spider-Man year one type book will probably help it become a strong trade paperback seller.

27, 40, 46. Edge of Spider-Verse
09/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #1  - 59,237 
09/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #2  - 54,415  (-8.1%)
09/14  Edge of Spider-Verse #3  - 51,530  (-5.3%)

Edge of Spider-Verse is a 5 part series with each issue focusing on a new Spider character that will be important in Spider-Verse. All of them are doing quite well so far and word is that many of them have sold out of their initial print runs.

Issue 25 was an Original Sin Tie-In and had a S.H.I.E.L.D. variant which gave it a nice sales boost, but then issue 26 fell back down to where the sales would have been before Original Sin. It will be interesting to see if it falls below 50k and how long it stays there.

Deadpool 34 had a 3D dancing Deadpool variant which helped boost sales, but issue 35 dropped right back down to the low 40k range where the sales were before the Original Sin tie-ins.

The second Original Sin Tie-In issue drops 5k issues but it still stays around 55k. As the fanfare of the movie dies down, I wonder if the series will continue to be able to support these sales numbers and all the spin-off series. There is also an upcoming crossover event with the X books that should boost sales for both series.

All-New X-Men has been bouncing around between 54k and 58k for the last few months. Bendis currently has the X-Men in the Ultimate Universe interacting with Miles Morales for the next few months, and with the Ultimate universe slumping in sales it will be interesting to watch how that affects this book’s numbers.

Thor #25 is the final issue before next month’s relaunch with the new female Thor. It was an oversized issue with several variants, and gave the series a nice boost before the relaunch.

Both issues were 40 page issues and issue 35 is the start of the new “Time Runs Out” arc that jumps 8 months into the future to the post-AXIS timeline. Marvel recently announced that they are building up to a big Secret Wars event next year and this book will likely play directly into it. At some point before or after that event, this book will likely relaunch.

New Avengers is also jumping 8 months into the future to a post-AXIS storyline and gets a nice sales boost of 5k issues.

67. SPIDER-MAN 2099
07/14 Spider-Man 2099 #1 - 90,690 ( --- )[6,461]
08/14 Spider-Man 2099 #2 - 47,512 (-47.6%)
09/14 Spider-Man 2099 #3 - 43,418 ( -8.6%)

Spider-Man 2099 is leveling out nicely after a big first issue drop and with tie-ins to the upcoming Spider-Verse event it should be able to hold on to these sales for a while.

09/14  Original Sin #5.5 – 43,399 (   1.7%)

The final issue of this Thor/Loki/Angela crossover ends with pretty solid numbers and sets Angela up for a nice debut next month. It will be interesting to see how that book debuts.

09/14  Dpool vs. X-Force #4 – 35,748  ( -7.1%)
09/14  Dpool vs. Hawkeye #0 – 42,960  ( 20.2%)

The latest Deadpool Vs. book brings Hawkeye into the fold. It debuts slightly better than where Deadpool vs. X-Force ended but not as good as high as the last two series debuted. I am really interested to see how long they can get money out of the Deadpool cash cow with all these spin-offs.

75. Deadpool Bi-Annual
09/14  Deadpool Bi-Annual #1  -  38,709  (---)

Speaking of the Deadpool cash cow, here we have a Bi-annual. It still sold pretty well, and it looks like Deadpool and all the spinoffs are here to stay.

Daredevil is incredibly stable around 36 to 37k. Marvel needs more of these solid sellers.

Season 2 of Moon Knight is here. The change in creative team didn’t hurt or help the book really. This is just standard attrition. Of course, over the next few months the creative team change might have a stronger effect as fans choose whether or not to stick with the book.

85. AMAZING X-MEN
09/04  Astonishing X-Men #3  - 131,544

Amazing X-Men continues to drop a little more than standard attrition each month. After the current Wendigo storyline, it will have some AXIS issues, which should give it a bit of a sales boost.

Hawkeye is ending with issue #22 and the sales are staying solidly around 34k. At NYCC, they announced that Jeff Lemire and Ramon Perez will be taking over with a new Hawkeye #1 next year, and it will be interesting to see if the sales can be as steady as this volume, and if the schedule can be a bit more consistent.

Standard attrition for X-men but a new creative team is starting in January which should help boost sales.

The change from Mark Waid to Gerry Duggan hasn’t really hurt or helped sales as standard attrition continues.

91. Legendary Star Lord

07/14  Star Lord #1 – 78,501
08/14  Star Lord #2 – 37,109 (-52.7%)
09/14  Star Lord #3 – 32,918 (-11.3%)

Star Lord isn’t leveling out as quickly as some of the other new books and isn’t doing nearly as well as Rocket or the main Guardians book. With the announcement of a new Gamora book in early 2015, it will be interesting to see how many spinoffs Guardians can support.

92. INHUMAN 
04/14  Inhuman #1 - 58,309  
05/14  Inhuman #2 - 41,810 ( -28.3%)

09/14  Inhuman #5 - 32,719 (  -4.4%) 
09/14  Inhuman #6 - 30,761 (  -6.0%)

Inhuman 5 and 6 continues with an attrition that is a little steep. It would be really interesting to see how this book would have fared without the 3 month delay. With the delay this book is dropping a little too fast to be the considered healthy.

93. MS. MARVEL

---

Even with DC winning the month overall, Marvel did quite well for itself this month. Death of Wolverine is doing well and AXIS and Spider-verse are right around the corner. Some of their prologue books are already doing quite well. There are some books near the bottom that are on the edge of cancellation but there are plenty of opportunities on the horizon for relaunches after these events wrap up.

One interesting thing to note is that many of the single character series that started as part of Marvel Now are falling into the low 20k range pretty quickly (Cyclops, Storm, She-Hulk, Punisher and a few others). So my questions for you readers are: Do you think that focusing on these characters is a misstep? Do these characters just not have what it takes to hold a solo title, or do you think that perhaps 22k is just what a book like Cyclops is likely to sell? What do other series like Hawkeye, Daredevil, and Ms. Marvel do differently that helps them stay above 30k?

Next month we’ll be looking at Axis, more Death of Wolverine and the new Thor series, which are all expected to deliver high sales.

Until next time, keep reading comics!
