1. Indie Comics Month-to-Month Sales March 2015: Cult comics score

JemHolograms

by Kate Reynolds

One of the stranger trends this month is the release of several comics based on 80’s and 90’s cult properties. The best of these, Jem and the Holograms (written by Kelley Thompson with art by Sophie Campbell) ranked in the top ten indie comics this month, and number seventy-seven on the total list. For those interested in male-led cult properties, check out Bill and Ted’s Most Triumphant Return from Boom! and Miami Vice from IDW.

This month 144 titles hit the top 300 list, which is a bit up from last month’s total of 138. Without the near ludacris sales of Orphan Black #1, sales dropped 12.5%. Overall there were 1,723,032 sales in March compared to 1,969,396 in February. This brings the average number of comics sold to 11,966 which is also down from last month’s average of 14,271. Considering the Loot Crate aided numbers of February, March still seems to be holding its own.

In terms of individual publishers, Image is in the lead with a 11.39% retail market share and a 12.98% unit market share. IDW manages to snag second place this month with a 6.51% retail market share and a 5.16% unit market share while Dark Horse rounds up third place with a 3.90% retail market share and a 3.07% unit market share. Boom! Studios manages to win out over Dynamite Entertainment this month with 2.41% retail market share and a 2.44% unit market share. Dynamite Entertainment only had a 2.37% retail market share and a 1.99% unit market share.

UK and European Sales from Diamond UK are not represented in this chart.

13 & 15.) The Walking Dead #138 & #139; (Image)
10/1/2014 WALKING DEAD #133 (MR)	 69,561 (-78.7%) 
11/1/2014 WALKING DEAD #134 (MR) 	68,093 (-2.1%) 
12/1/2014 WALKING DEAD #135 (MR) 	67,361 (-1.1%) 
1/1/2015 WALKING DEAD #136 (MR) 	66,097 (-1.9%) 
2/1/2015 WALKING DEAD #137 (MR) 	65,620 (-0.7%) 
3/1/2015 WALKING DEAD #138 (MR) 	66,778 (+1.8%) 
3/1/2015 WALKING DEAD #139 (MR) 	67,349 (+0.9%)

The Walking Dead regains its rightful place at the top of the indie chart this month. It even had a nice little bump to celebrate.

17.) Descender #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	DESCENDER #1 (MR)	61,910

Is it any surprise that this book, written by Jeff Lemire and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen, has a stellar debut? I’m more interested in what the second issue brings us.

21.)Saga #26 (Image)
6/1/2014	Saga #20 (MR)	56,497	(+1.9%)
7/1/2014	Saga #21 (MR)	55,893	(-1.1%)
8/1/2014	Saga #22 (MR)	55,803	(-0.2%)
9/1/2014	Saga #23 (MR)	56,162	(+.6%)
10/1/2014	Saga #24 (MR)	55,534	(-1.1%)
2/1/2015	Saga #25 (MR)	55,972	(+0.8%)
3/1/2015	Saga #26 (MR)	54,892	(-1.9%)

Standard attrition as this story arc gets in the swing of things.

36.) Chrononauts #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	CHRONONAUTS #1 (MR)	43,272

This time-travelling bromance nabs the second largest debut for the month. Mark Millar and Sean Murphy should be proud.

51.) Outcast #7 (Image)
6/1/2014	OUTCAST #1		71,788	
7/1/2014	OUTCAST #2		55,126	(-23.2%)
8/1/2014	OUTCAST #3		46,717	(-15.2%)
9/1/2014	OUTCAST #4		45,401	(-2.8%)
11/1/2014	OUTCAST #5 	39,967	(-12.0%)
12/1/2014	OUTCAST #6		36,354	(-9.0%)
3/1/2015	OUTCAST #7 	38,077	(+4.7%)

The title sees a nice jump this month.

53.)Wytches #5 (Image)
WYTCHES #1 (MR) 	67,996	
WYTCHES #2 (MR) 	58,345	(-14.2%)
WYTCHES #3 (MR) 	43,240	(-25.9%)
WYTCHES #4 (MR)	41,827	(-3.3%)
WYTCHES #5 (MR)	37,182	(-11.1%)

Still looking for this title to find its pattern. The next issue is the finale of the first arc, so we’ll see what that tells us next month.

67.) Spawn Resurrection #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	SPAWN RESURRECTION #1	29,787

A sizeable debut after the recently celebrated Spawn #250. We’ll see how future numbers reflect the new creative team on the scene.

68.) Southern Cross #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	SOUTHERN CROSS #1	29,658

As long as the second issue drop is on the lower side, this sci-fi mystery lands on solid ground.

77.) Jem and the Holograms #1 (IDW)
3/1/2015	JEM & THE HOLOGRAMS #1 	29,015

This is a strong debut for a comic based on an 80’s cartoon. Kelley Thompson’s enthusiastic
writing and Sophie Campbell’s art definitely don’t hurt.

82.) Nameless #2 (Image)
2/1/2015	NAMELESS #1 (MR)	43,785	
3/1/2015	NAMELESS #2 (MR)	27,364	(-37.5%)

This is definitely on the high-end of second issue drops. This appears to be becoming more normal for some of Image’s larger debuts.

92.)Black Science #12 (Image)
4/1/2014	BLACK SCIENCE #6 (MR)	24,892	(-2.3%)
7/1/2014	BLACK SCIENCE #7 (MR)	28,147	(+13.1%)
9/1/2014	BLACK SCIENCE #8 (MR)	22,429	(-20.3%)
10/1/2014	BLACK SCIENCE #9 (MR)	21,639	(-3.5%)
10/1/2014	BLACK SCIENCE #10 (MR)	21,125	(-2.4%)
12/1/2014	BLACK SCIENCE #11 (MR)	19,688	(-6.8%)
3/1/2015	BLACK SCIENCE #12 (MR)	26,112	(+32.8%)

The second year of Black Science brings about a horde of new readers.

97.) Ninjak #1 (Valiant)
3/1/2015	NINJAK #1	24,351

Pretty strong debut for a Valiant title.

102.)East of West #18 (Image)
3/1/2013	East Of West #10	28,853	(-3.4%)
4/1/2014	East Of West #11	28,090	(-2.6%)

7/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #13	26,531	(-1.9%)
7/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #14	26,361	(-0.6%)
9/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #15	25,593	(-2.9%)
12/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #16	35,920	(+40.3%)
2/1/2015	EAST OF WEST #17	23,482	(-12.4%)
3/1/2015	EAST OF WEST #18	23,080	(-1.7%)

Settling back down into normal patterns.

103.)Invisible Republic #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	INVISIBLE REPUBLIC #1 (MR)	22,974

A mid-sized debut for a relatively new creative team.

106.)Red One #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	RED ONE #1 (MR)		22,486

This is just another of several Image debuts in this readership range. Second issues should tell us which are hits and which are misses.

108.) The Surface #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	SURFACE #1 (MR)	21,742

Yay, another mid-sized debut for a niche science fiction comic.

112.) The Wicked and the Divine #9 (Image)
6/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #1 (MR)		42,948	
7/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #2 (MR)		27,962	(-34.9%)
8/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #3 (MR)		27,208	(-2.7%)
9/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #4 (MR)		25,668	(-5.7%)
10/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #5 (MR)		25,424	(-1.0%)
12/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #6 (MR)		22,159	(-12.2%)
1/1/2015	WICKED & DIVINE #7 (MR)		20,893	(-5.7%)
2/1/2015	WICKED & DIVINE #8 (MR)		20,515	(-1.8%)
3/1/2015	WICKED & DIVINE #9 (MR)		20,360	(-0.8%)

This title also seems to be settling into its second story arc.

113 & 130.)My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #28 & #29 (IDW)
6/1/2014	My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #20	20,711	(-9.2%)
7/1/2014	My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #21	20,871	(+0.8%)
8/1/2014	My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #22	21,642	(+3.7%)
9/1/2014	My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #23	19,491	(-9.9%)
10/1/2014	My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #24	20,762	(+6.5%)
11/1/2014	My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #25	26,619	(+28.2%)
12/1/2014	My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #26	17,454	(-34.4%)
1/1/2015	My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #27	18,128	(+3.9%)
3/1/2015	My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #28	20,236	(+11.1%)
3/1/2015	My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #29	16,726	(-17.3%)

These numbers would make a good rollercoaster.

132.)Big Man Plans #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	BIG MAN PLANS #1 (MR)	16,371

We’ll see how these plans pan out in the future.

134.) Autumnlands Tooth and Claw #5 (Image)
11/1/2014	TOOTH & CLAW #1 	                		41,181	
12/1/2014	AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #2 	33,272	(-19.2%)
1/1/2015	AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #3 	20,173	(-39.4%)
2/1/2015	AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #4     	17,700	(-12.3%)
3/1/2015	AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #5     	16,054	(-9.3%)

This title has finally opened its parachute and it’s starting to seriously slow down.

136.)Frankenstein Underground #1 (Dark Horse)
3/1/2015	FRANKENSTEIN UNDERGROUND #1	15,915

Mike Mignola’s take on Frankenstein draws in a niche audience. We’ve had quite a bit of Frankenstein stories in the past few years, so we’re nearing over-saturation.

138.)Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 #13
11/1/2014	BTVS SEASON 10 #9	17,067	(-3.7%)
12/1/2014	BTVS SEASON 10 #10	16,448	(-3.6%)

3/1/2015	BTVS SEASON 10 #13	15,565	(-1.7%)
140.) Hellboy and the BPRD #4 1952 (Dark Horse)
12/1/2014	HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #11952    	22,368	
1/1/2015	HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #2 1952	16,725	(-25.2%)
2/1/2015	HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #3 1952	15,779	(-5.7%)
3/1/2015	HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #4 1952	15,416	(-2.3%)

Heading for extremely solid ground.

142.) Lady Mechanika #5 (Benitez Productions)
10/1/2010	Lady Mechanika #0	10,185	
12/1/2010	Lady Mechanika #1	20,034	(+96.7%)

12/1/2011	Lady Mechanika #3	21,358	(+2.9%)
2/1/2015	Lady Mechanika #4	16,924	(-20.8%)
3/1/2015	Lady Mechanika #5	15,168	(-10.4%)

Not a bad drop when you consider this is only the second issue released in the past four years.

144 & 150.)>My Little Pony Friends Forever #14 & #15 (IDW)
10/1/2014	MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDS FOREVER #10	16,587	(-1.3%)
11/1/2014	MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDS FOREVER #11	15,630	(-5.8%)

3/1/2015	MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDS FOREVER #15	14,374	(-3.4%)

More standard attrition for the ponies.

2/1/2015	TMNT ONGOING #43	14,551	(+1.9%)
3/1/2015	TMNT ONGOING #44	14,604	(+0.4%)

This title is just absolutely determined not to dip below 14k.

149.) Rat Queens #9 (Image)
9/1/2013	Rat Queens #1		21,745	
10/1/2013	Rat Queens #2 		12,335	(-43.3%)

3/1/2015	RAT QUEENS #9 		14,425	(-2.0%)

We’re starting to see some minor attrition start again.

152.) Manhattan Projects Sun Beyond the Stars #1 (Image)
3/1/2015	MANHATTAN PROJECTS SUN BEYOND THE STARS #1	14,221

The initial Manhattan Projects debuted to 17,955 readers in 2012. Three years later, that -20.8% drop in readers feels like a standard second issue drop. This series has managed to hold strong, a testament to the quality.

153.) Hellbreak #1 (Oni Press)
3/1/2015	HELLBREAK #1 (MR)	14,068

To help sell this new title, Oni Press sold it at $1.00 for the first issue. As a fan of Cullen Bunn, I think this would have sold well without the discount. That said, it’s been a long time since I last saw an Oni Press title make the top 300 list.

<strong160.) Doctor Who 10th #8 (Titan)
7/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 10TH #1	39,707

3/1/2015	DOCTOR WHO 10TH #8	13,301	(0.00%)

Breaking even is never bad!

162 & 173.) Doctor Who 11th #9 & #10 (Titan)

3/1/2015	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #10	11,622	(-5.4%)

This title isn’t hasn’t managed to hit the same holding pattern the 10th Doctor has.

New story arc, new interest, new readers.

Picture perfect.

Any debut over 10k readers is something to be celebrated.

3/1/2015	DOCTOR WHO 12TH #6	11,643	(-4.1%)

The 12th doctor’s numbers aren’t quite as high as the others.

Refusing to dip below 10k.

2/1/2015	ORPHAN BLACK #1 	497,002	
3/1/2015	ORPHAN BLACK #2 	10,652	(-97.9%)

Well, this shows us exactly how much impact Loot Crate can have on a comic title.

The beginning of the Opening War Salvo arc has brought in some new readers.

183.)Pastaways #1 (Dark Horse)
3/1/2015	PASTAWAYS #1	$3.99	DAR	10,625

This new series from Matt Kindt draws in a middling debut, thought not too bad for Dark Horse
.

184.)Bill and Ted's Most Triumphant Return #1 (Boom! Studios)
3/1/2015	BILL & TED MOST TRIUMPHANT RETURN #1	10,396

I wouldn’t call this triumphant, but it’s not too bad.

188.)Transformers Windblade Combiner Wars #1 (IDW)
3/1/2015	TRANSFORMERS WINDBLADE COMBINER WARS #1	10,154

The previous Windblade series debuted to 9,855 readers. So, interest appears to have grown in the lady transformer.

193.) Munchkin #3 (Boom! Studios)
1/1/2015	MUNCHKIN #1	16,234	
2/1/2015	MUNCHKIN #2	10,382	(-36.0%)

2/1/2015	LADY KILLER #2	6,804	(-19.3%)
3/1/2015	LADY KILLER #3	9,594	(+41.0%)

It looks like word of mouth (my mouth included) has finally paid off big for Lady Killer. In case you were wondering, Lady Killer is about 1950’s housewives assassins and it is amazing.

196.) Divinity #2 (Valiant)
2/1/2015	DIVINITY #1	12,079	
3/1/2015	DIVINITY #2	9,384	(-22.3%)

2/1/2015	TMNT MUTANIMALS #1 	10,274	
3/1/2015	TMNT MUTANIMALS #2 	8,980	(-12.6%)

Smallest second issue drop on this list. It may not have started out very high, but it probably won’t go too much lower.

209.)Transformers More Than Meets The Eye #38 (IDW)
11/1/2014	Transformers More Than Meets Eye #35	9,390	(-2.9%)
12/1/2014	Transformers More Than Meets Eye #36	9,159	(-2.5%)

2/1/2015	POSTAL #1	13,967	
3/1/2015	POSTAL #2	8,464	(-39.4%)

Sizeable second issue drop, for an already low debut.

215.) Django Zorro #5 (Dynamite Entertainment)

12/1/2014	DJANGO ZORRO #2		11,001	(-28.9%)

3/1/2015	DJANGO ZORRO #5		8,454	(-8.2%)

This may be close to attrition for a Dynamite title, but it will still need to slow down to stay on the chart the rest of the year.

216.) Lumberjanes #12 (Boom! Studios)
4/1/2014	LUMBERJANES #1	13,129	--
5/1/2014	LUMBERJANES #2	9,904	(-24.6%)

3/1/2015	 CONAN THE AVENGER #12	7,978	(-0.2%)

More minor attrition to Conan. At least his muscles don’t atrophy according to readers numbers.

220.) Revival #28 (Image)

This title just keep chugging along.

222.) Mouse Guard Vol. 3 #1 (Boom! Studios)
3/1/2015	MOUSE GUARD LEGENDS OF GUARD VOL 03 #1	7,869

Maybe the Mouse Guard story in the Boom! Free Comic Book Day offering will bring in more fans.

224.) Sonic The Hedgehog #270 (Archie Comics)
10/1/2014	SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #265	8,869	(-1.7%)

3/1/2015	SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #270	7,798	(-3.5%)

This comic has over 250 issues. Nothing much is likely to chance in the numbers anytime soon.

225.) Sheltered #15 (Image)

5/1/2014	Sheltered #9	6,047	(+0.6%)

2/1/2015	Sheltered #14	--	--
3/1/2015	Sheltered #15	7,794	--

It appears as if Sheltered has taken quite a leap in readership to jump back onto the chart.

226.) Secret Identities #2 (Image)
2/1/2015	SECRET IDENTITIES #1	24,848	
3/1/2015	SECRET IDENTITIES #2	7,781	(-68.7%)

3/1/2015	GOON ONCE UPON A HARD TIME #2	7,4

3/1/2015	BPRD HELL ON EARTH #129	7,294	(-0.6%)

Minor attrition. Bound to happen with a comic this lengthy.

232.) X-O Manowar #34 (Valiant)
11/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #30		8,354	(-2.5%)
12/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #31		7,398	(-11.4%)

3/1/2015	X-O MANOWAR #34		7,265	(+2.9%)

This is one of Valiant’s longest running series that’s still regularly on the chart. Nice to see a tiny upswing.

233.) Fly Outbreak #1 (IDW)
3/1/2015	FLY OUTBREAK #1 	7,206

A low debut.

234.) Imperium #2 (Valiant)
2/1/2015	IMPERIUM #1		12,028	
3/1/2015	IMPERIUM #2 	7,202	(-40.1%)

A giant-sized second issue drop at a time when this title really needed a small one.

236.) Thief of Thieves #27 (Image)
5/1/2014	THIEF OF THIEVES #21 (MR)	9,625	(-2.5%)

3/1/2015	THIEF OF THIEVES #27 (MR)	7,099	(-4.4%)

2. Indie Comics Month-to-Month Sales February 2015: Orphan Black is #1

OrphanBlack1

[Editor’s note: This column is super late through no fault of Kate’s. March will be posted shortly.]

by Kate Reynolds

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.

In terms of individual publishers, Image leads with a 10.51% market share and a 10.61% unit market share. IDW comes in next with a 5.57% market share and an 8.06% unit market share while Dark Horse is trails behind with a 3.48% market share and a 2.66% unit market share. Dynamite Entertainment leads over Boom! Studios with a 2.63% market share and a 2.38% market share while Boom! Studios brings up the rear with a 2.12% market and a 2.12% unit market share.

UK and European Sales from Diamond UK are not represented in this chart.

Thanks to icv2.com and Milton Grepp for permission to use these numbers, which are estimates only.

1.) Orphan Black #1 (IDW)
2/1/2015	ORPHAN BLACK #1 	497,002

Let’s just take a moment and bask in the glory of an independent comic company nabbing the number one sales for the month of February. The sales were definitely aided by the inclusion of Orphan Black #1 in March’s Lootcrate – a geek subscription box with over 100,000 subscribers. Still, as an Orphan Black fan myself, I’d like to think that the television show’s narrative strength stands for itself.

13.) The Walking Dead #137 (Image)
11/1/2014	WALKING DEAD #134 (MR)		68,093	(-2.1%)
12/1/2014	WALKING DEAD #135 (MR)		67,361	(-1.1%)
1/1/2015	WALKING DEAD #136 (MR)		66,097	(-1.9%)
2/1/2015	WALKING DEAD #137 (MR)		65,620	(-0.7%)

It’s a rare day when The Walking Dead gets outsold by another indie title.

15.) Spawn #250 (Image)
10/1/2014	SPAWN #247	12,023	(-9.9%)
11/1/2014	SPAWN #248	11,934	(-0.7%)
12/1/2014	SPAWN #249	12,121	(+1.6%)
2/1/2015	SPAWN #250	60,357	(+398.0%)

Image went all out to celebrate this huge milestone for Spawn with several variant covers, a triple sized book, and even the return of the original Spawn. Looks like hard work combined with nostalgia helped this title jump into the top 20 titles of the month.

19.) Saga #25 (Image)
6/1/2014	Saga #20 (Mr)		56,497	(+1.9%)
7/1/2014	Saga #21 (Mr)		55,893	(-1.1%)
8/1/2014	Saga #22 (Mr)		55,803	(-0.2%)
9/1/2014	Saga #23 (Mr)		56,162	(+.6%)
10/1/2014	SAGA #24 (MR)	55,534	(-1.1%)
2/1/2015	SAGA #25 (MR)	55,972	(+0.8%)

As Saga comes off its hiatus, so do its readers.

34.) Nameless #1 (Image)
2/1/2015	NAMELESS #1 (MR)		43,785

Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham bring us a new horror sci-fi title to titillate the masses, and these numbers say they succeeded.

40.) Wytches #4 (Image)
10/1/2014	WYTCHES #1 (MR) 	67,996	
11/1/2014	WYTCHES #2 (MR) 	58,345	(-14.2%)
12/1/2014	WYTCHES #3 (MR) 	43,240	(-25.9%)
2/1/2015	WYTCHES #4 (MR)	41,827	(-3.3%)

The fourth issue is finally settling down into a normal pattern. We should see more normal attrition starting next issue.

85.) Secret Identities #1 (Image)
2/1/2015	SECRET IDENTITIES #1	24,848

A reasonable debut.

95.) East of West #17 (Image)
6/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #12	27,056	(-3.7%)
7/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #13	26,531	(-1.9%)
7/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #14	26,361	(-0.6%)
9/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #15	25,593	(-2.9%)
12/1/2014	EAST OF WEST #16	35,920	(+40.3%)
2/1/2015	EAST OF WEST #17	23,482	(-12.4%)

A drop to normal after numbers spiked last month for the beginning of the second story arc.

96.) Bitch Planet #3 (Image)
12/1/2014	BITCH PLANET #1 (MR) 	39,011	
1/1/2015	BITCH PLANET #2 (MR)	26,508	(-32.0%)
2/1/2015	BITCH PLANET #3 (MR)	22,726	(-14.3%)

Things are heading towards stable ground for this title.

103.) Wicked and Divine #8  (Image)
10/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #5 (MR)		25,424	(-1.0%)
12/1/2014	WICKED & DIVINE #6 (MR)		22,159	(-12.2%)
1/1/2015	WICKED & DIVINE #7 (MR)		20,893	(-5.7%)
2/1/2015	WICKED & DIVINE #8 (MR)		20,515	(-1.8%)
108.) Low #6 (Image)
7/1/2014	LOW #1 (MR)		--

9/1/2014	LOW #3 (MR)	24,308	(-14.5%)
10/1/2014	LOW #4 (MR)	23,530	(-3.2%)
12/1/2014	LOW #5 (MR)	21,584	(-8.2%)
2/1/2015	LOW #6 (MR)	19,832	(-8.1%)
120.) Manifest Destiny #13 (Image)
6/1/2014	MANIFEST DESTINY #7	21,500	(+44.8%)
7/1/2014	MANIFEST DESTINY #8	15,060	(-29.9%)
8/1/2014	MANIFEST DESTINY #9	14,672	(-2.6%)
9/1/2014	MANIFEST DESTINY #10	14,312	(-2.4%)
10/1/2014	MANIFEST DESTINY #11	13,620	(-4.8%)
12/1/2014	MANIFEST DESTINY #12 	12,987	(-4.6%)
2/1/2015	MANIFEST DESTINY #13 	17,891	(+37.8%)

New story arc brings in new readers. A similar spike happened with issue seven.

121.) Autumnlands Tooth & Claw #4 (Image)
11/1/2014	TOOTH & CLAW #1 		41,181	
12/1/2014	AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #2 	33,272	(-19.2%)
1/1/2015	AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #3 	20,173	(-39.4%)
2/1/2015	AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #4	17,700	(-12.3%)

Finally seeing some slowing numbers for this title. Stabilization may be nigh!

124.) Southern Bastards #7 (Image)
4/1/2014	SOUTHERN BASTARDS #1 (MR)	38,029	
5/1/2014	SOUTHERN BASTARDS #2 (MR)	25,811	(-32.1%)
7/1/2014	SOUTHERN BASTARDS #3 (MR)	21,313	(-17.4%)
9/1/2014	SOUTHERN BASTARDS #4 (MR)	22,317	(+4.7%)
10/1/2014	SOUTHERN BASTARDS #5 (MR)	21,932	(-1.7%)
12/1/2014	SOUTHERN BASTARDS #6 (MR)	18,637	(-15.0%)
2/1/2015	SOUTHERN BASTARDS #7 (MR)	17,523	(-6.0%)

These numbers might approach settle down to a predictable pattern one of these days.

128.) Lady Mechanika #4 (Benitez Productions)

10/1/2010	Lady Mechanika #0	10,185	
12/1/2010	Lady Mechanika #1	20,034	(+96.7%)
7/1/2011	Lady Mechanika #2	20,760	(+3.6%)
12/1/2011	Lady Mechanika #3	21,358	(+2.9%)
2/1/2015	Lady Mechanika #4	16,924	(-20.8%)

It’s been four years since the last issue of Lady Mechanika, Joe Benitez breaking away from Aspen comics in the interim. After all that hullabaloo a twenty percent drop doesn’t seem so bad.

129.) ODY-C #3 (Image)
11/1/2014	ODYC #1 (MR) [*]	47,414	
1/1/2015	ODYC #2 (MR) [*]	21,316	(-55.0%)
2/1/2015	ODYC #3 (MR) [*]	16,826	(-21.1%)

Starting to settle down for the twenty year journey.

133.) Velvet #9 (Image)
10/1/2013	Velvet #1 (Mr) 	41,897	--
12/1/2013	Velvet #2 (Mr) 	25,549	(-39.0%)

11/1/2014	Velvet #8 (MR)	17,035	(-4.8%)
2/1/2015	Velvet #9 (MR)	16,274	(-4.5%)

Standard attrition.

136.) BTVS Season 10 #12 (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014	BTVS SEASON 10 #8	17,729	(+1.6%)
11/1/2014	BTVS SEASON 10 #9	17,067	(-3.7%)

2/1/2015	BTVS SEASON 10 #12	15,840	(-4.0%)

More attrition for Buffy.

138.) Hellboy and the BRPD 1952 #3 (Dark Horse)
12/1/2014	HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #1 1952	22,368	
1/1/2015	HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #2 1952	16,725	(-25.2%)
2/1/2015	HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #3 1952	15,779	(-5.7%)

Looks like some solid stabilization for the third issue.

142.) Lazarus #15 (Image)
8/1/2014	LAZARUS #10	18,051	(-5.3%)
9/1/2014	LAZARUS #11	16,531	(-8.4%)

1/1/2015	LAZARUS #14 	15,896	(-1.2%)
2/1/2015	LAZARUS #15 	15,237	(-4.1%)

2/1/2015	CHEW #46 (MR)	$2.99	IMA	15,073	(+44.8%)

A new story line, with a few other new aspects, has certainly revived the readership.

149.) TMNT Ongoing #43 (IDW)

2/1/2015	TMNT ONGOING #43	14,551	(+1.9%)

Almost every loss for this title is followed by a minor gain. Way to keep those numbers strong Turtles.

153.) Stray Bullets Sunshine & Roses #1 (Image)
2/1/2015	STRAY BULLETS SUNSHINE & ROSES #1	14,122

The previous Stray Bullet series, Stray Bullets the Killers, debuted to 14,208 readers. If this title continues to mimic the previous series, we should see numbers just under the 10k mark next issue.

155.) Postal #1 (Image)
2/1/2015	POSTAL #1	$3.99	IMA	13,967

A town full of criminals, a murder, and the FBI rake in a medium debut.

158.) Doctor Who 10th #7 (Titan)

1/1/2015	BIRTHRIGHT #4	13,506	(-5.2%)
2/1/2015	BIRTHRIGHT #5	13,218	(-2.1%)

I declare this title officially stable. We should primarily only see attrition from here on out.

162.) MPH #5 (Image)
5/1/2014	MPH #1	35,632	--
6/1/2014	MPH #2	21,937	(-38.4%)

11/1/2014	MPH #4	14,657	(-13.2%)
2/1/2015	MPH #5	13,202	(-9.9%)

Edging closer to what I’d call attrition.

164.) Doctor Who 11th #8 (Titan)
8/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #1	41,068	
9/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #2	15,947	(-61.2)
10/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #3	14,854	(-6.9%)
10/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #4	13,411	(-9.7%)
12/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #5 	13,477	(+0.5%)
12/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #6 	14,538	(+7.9%)
1/1/2015	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #7	15,614	(+7.4%)
2/1/2015	DOCTOR WHO 11TH #8	13,135	(-15.9%)

This title appears to be making up for two months of increased readership by taking a steep dive.

166.) Deadly Class #11 (Image)
5/1/2014	DEADLY CLASS #5		17,099	(-4.2%)
6/1/2014	DEADLY CLASS #6 		16,305	(-4.6%)
9/1/2014	DEADLY CLASS #7 		14,834	(-9.0%)
10/1/2014	DEADLY CLASS #8 		15,003	(+1.1%)
11/1/2014	DEADLY CLASS #9 		14,148	(-6.7%)
1/1/2015	DEADLY CLASS #10 	13,552	(-4.2%)
2/1/2015	DEADLY CLASS #11 	12,805	(-5.5%)

Numbers often dip towards the tail end of a story arc. Next issue will start a new story, and let’s hope a bump in numbers.

167.) Invincible #117 (Image)
4/1/2014	INVINCIBLE #110		12,557	(-1.5%)
5/1/2014	INVINCIBLE #111		18,440	(+46.8%)
6/1/2014	INVINCIBLE #112		14,413	(-21.8%)
8/1/2014	INVINCIBLE #113		13,642	(-5.3%)
9/1/2014	INVINCIBLE #114		13,921	(+2.0%)
11/1/2014	INVINCIBLE #115		13,277	(-4.6%)
1/1/2015	INVINCIBLE #116		13,125	(-1.1%)
2/1/2015	INVINCIBLE #117		12,627	(-3.8%)

This title is settling back into a normal pace.

167.) Doctor Who 12th #5 (Titan)
10/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 12TH #1	33,891	
11/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 12TH #2 	15,277	(-54.9%)
12/1/2014	DOCTOR WHO 12TH #3	14,144	(-7.4%)
1/1/2015	DOCTOR WHO 12TH #4	13,214	(-6.6%)
2/1/2015	DOCTOR WHO 12TH #5	12,140	(-8.1%)

Still trying to find steady ground.

172.) Divinity #1 (Valiant) 
2/1/2015	DIVINITY #1	12,079

I’m personally excited for this title. Matt Kindt sure knows how to tell a stellar sci-fi story.

173.) Conan Red Sonja #2 (Dark Horse)
1/1/2015	CONAN RED SONJA #1	15,398	
2/1/2015	CONAN RED SONJA #2	12,073	(-21.6%)

Standard second issue drop.

176.) Imperium #1 (Valiant)
2/1/2015	IMPERIUM #1		12,028

Let’s hope this title only gets hit with a normal second issue drop, and not a Valiant sized one.

178.) Empty #1 (Image)
2/1/2015	EMPTY #1	11,623

A low debut for this comic set in an unforgiving desert.

181.) Rumble #3 (Image)
12/1/2014	RUMBLE #1 (MR)	22,527	
1/1/2015	RUMBLE #2 (MR)	14,580	(-35.3%)
2/1/2015	RUMBLE #3 (MR)	11,084	(-24.0%)

We should see a smaller drop next issue.

182.) Nailbiter #10 (Image)
9/1/2014	NAILBITER #5 (MR)	14,947	(+1.6%)
10/1/2014	NAILBITER #6 (MR)	13,340	(-10.8%)
11/1/2014	NAILBITER #7 (MR)	12,361	(-5.3%)
12/1/2014	NAILBITER #8 (MR)	12,096	(-2.1%)
1/1/2015	NAILBITER #9 (MR)	11,222	(-7.2%)
2/1/2015	NAILBITER #10 (MR)	10,889	(-3.0%)

More attrition for this book.

184.) Transformers vs GI JOE #5 (IDW)
7/1/2014	Transformers Vs Gi Joe #1 	23,009	
8/1/2014	Transformers Vs Gi Joe #2 	15,472	(-32.8%)
10/1/2014	Transformers Vs Gi Joe #3 	14,293	(-7.6%)
11/1/2014	Transformers Vs Gi Joe #4	12,733	(-10.9%)
2/1/2015	Transformers Vs Gi Joe #5	10,590	(-16.8%)

A large dip for this title.

186.) Angel and Faith Season 10 #11 (Dark Horse)
9/1/2014	ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #6 	11,593	(-3.5%)
10/1/2014	ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #7	11,457	(-1.2%)
11/1/2014	ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #8	11,129	(-2.9%)
12/1/2014	ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #9	10,946	(-1.6%)
1/1/2015	ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #10 	11,029	(+0.7%)
2/1/2015	ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #11	10,397	(-5.7%)

Larger than average drop for this title.

187.) Black Hood #1 (Archie Comics)
2/1/2015	BLACK HOOD #1 (MR)	10,386

This new title from Archie Comics deals with dark territory. The break from the traditional Archie Comics tone may account for the low debut.

188.) Munchkin #2 (Boom! Studios)
1/1/2015	MUNCHKIN #1	16,234	
2/1/2015	MUNCHKIN #2	10,382	(-36.0%)

Sizable second issue drop.

189.) TMNT Mutanimals #1 (IDW)
2/1/2015	TMNT MUTANIMALS #1	10,274

Not selling as well as the regular turtle titles do, but this is a secondary team.

192.) Adventure Time #37 (Boom! Studios)
10/1/2014	ADVENTURE TIME #32	12,632	(-10.4%)
10/1/2014	ADVENTURE TIME #33	11,929	(-5.6%)
12/1/2014	ADVENTURE TIME #34	11,442	(-4.1%)
12/1/2014	ADVENTURE TIME #35	11,138	(-2.7%)
1/1/2015	ADVENTURE TIME #36	10,170	(-8.7%)
2/1/2015	ADVENTURE TIME #37	9,978	(-1.9%)

Continued attrition for Adventure Time.

193.) The Valiant (Valiant)
12/1/2014	THE VALIANT #1		21,364	
1/1/2015	THE VALIANT #2 		11,649	(-45.5%)
2/1/2015	THE VALIANT #3		9,870	(-15.3%)

A much needed decrease in drops. This title might be on the chart for awhile yet.

195 & 199.) Django Zorro #3 & 4 (Dynamite Entertainment)
11/1/2014	DJANGO ZORRO #1		15,468	
12/1/2014	DJANGO ZORRO #2		11,001	(-28.9%)
2/1/2015	DJANGO ZORRO #3		9,659	(-12.1%)
2/1/2015	DJANGO ZORRO #4		9,212	(-4.6%)

Stabilization at last!

196 & 200.) Star Trek Ongoing #41 & 42 (IDW)
7/1/2014	Star Trek #35	10,089	(-1.2%)
8/1/2014	Star Trek #36	10,017	(-0.7%)
9/1/2014	Star Trek #37	9,893	(-1.2%)
11/1/2014	Star Trek #38	10,150	(+2.6%)
12/1/2014	Star Trek #39	9,931	(-2.2%)
1/1/2015	Star Trek #40	9,819	(-1.1%)
2/1/2015	Star Trek #41	9,632	(-1.9%)
2/1/2015	Star Trek #42	9,138   (-5.1%)

Star Trek readers are incredibly consistent, but if there’s not a boost in these numbers soon we may see a drop below 9k.

197.) Goon Once Upon a Hard Time #1 (Dark Horse)
2/1/2015	GOON ONCE UPON A HARD TIME #1	9,602

This title is following in the footsteps of Goon Occasion for Revenge.

198.) They're Not Like Us #3 (Image)
12/1/2014	THEYRE NOT LIKE US #1 (MR)	18,015	
1/1/2015	THEYRE NOT LIKE US #2 (MR)	10,028	(-44.3%)
2/1/2015	THEYRE NOT LIKE US #3 (MR)	9,424	(-6.0%)

A quick recovery for this title.

200.) Transformers More Than Meets The Eye #37 (IDW)
11/1/2014	TRANSFORMERS More Than Meets Eye #35 	9,390	(-2.9%)
12/1/2014	TRANSFORMERS More Than Meets Eye #36 	9,159	(-2.5%)
2/1/2015	TRANSFORMERS More Than Meets Eye #37 	9,138	(-0.2%)

The current story arc is holding steady.

203.) Legenderry Red Sonja #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
2/1/2015	LEGENDERRY RED SONJA #1	$3.99	DE	8,854

I’m not sure whether this debut is proof that steam punk has lost its momentum, or just that it takes a phenomenal writer like Gail Simone to see Red Sonja sales spike.

204.) Rat God #1 (Dark Horse)
2/1/2015	RAT GOD #1	8,744

This title looked a bit too scary for me. The horror genre of comics also isn’t as popular as some.

205.) Rasputin #5 (Image)
10/1/2014	RASPUTIN #1 (MR)	21,373	
11/1/2014	RASPUTIN #2 (MR)	11,693	(-45.3%)
12/1/2014	RASPUTIN #3 (MR)	9,775	(-16.4%)
1/1/2015	RASPUTIN #4 (MR)	9,264	(-5.2%)
2/1/2015	RASPUTIN #5 (MR)	8,723	(-5.8%)

Not a bad run for Rasputin.

206.) Edward Scissorhands #4 (IDW)
10/1/2014	EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #1 	13,533	
11/1/2014	EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #2 	0,121	(-25.2%)
1/1/2015	EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #3 	7,823	(-22.7%)
2/1/2015	EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #4	8,714	(+11.4%)

A deserved jump in numbers this month.

207.) EI8HT #1 Outcast (Dark Horse)
2/1/2015	EI8HT #1 OUTCAST	8,663
As long as the second issue doesn't fall too much we should see this title around for a bit.
208.) Legenderry Vampirella #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
2/1/2015	LEGENDERRY VAMPIRELLA #1	8,629

Vampirella always seems to play second fiddle to Red Sonja.

209.) Dawn Vampirella #3 (Dynamite Entertainment)
9/1/2014	DAWN VAMPIRELLA #1	13,368	--
11/1/2014	DAWN VAMPIRELLA #2	9,248	(-30.8%)
2/1/2015	DAWN VAMPIRELLA #3	8,548	(-7.6%)

Should only see standard attrition from here on out.

210.) Lumberjanes #11 (Boom! Studios)
9/1/2014	LUMBERJANES #6	10,029	(-0.7%)
10/1/2014	LUMBERJANES #7	9,999	(-.3%)
11/1/2014	LUMBERJANES #8	9,543	(-4.6%)
12/1/2014	LUMBERJANES #9	8,917	(-6.6%)
1/1/2015	LUMBERJANES #10	8,539	(-4.2%)
2/1/2015	LUMBERJANES #11	8,472	(-0.8%)

Issue eleven started a new story arc, accounting for the near stasis in numbers.

212.) Lady Death Apocalypse #1 (Avatar Press)
2/1/2015	LADY DEATH APOCALYPSE #1 (MR)	8,202

We’ll have to see how this title holds up against a second issue drop.

214.) Drifter #4 (Image)
11/1/2014	DRIFTER #1 (MR)		20,887	
12/1/2014	DRIFTER #2 (MR)		10,443	(-50.0%)
1/1/2015	DRIFTER #3 (MR)		8,924	(-14.5%)
2/1/2015	DRIFTER #4 (MR)		8,111	(-9.1%)

The numbers on this title are still slowing.

216.) Sonic the Hedgehog #269 (Archie Comics)
10/1/2014	SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #265	8,869	(-1.7%)
11/1/2014	SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #266	8,822	(-0.5%)
12/1/2014	SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #267	8,608	(-2.4%)
1/1/2015	SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #268	8,383	(-2.6%)
2/1/2015	SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #269	8,078	(-3.6%)

Slow and steady attrition.

217.) Conan the Avenger #11 (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014	CONAN THE AVENGER #7		8,547	(-3.1%)
11/1/2014	CONAN THE AVENGER #8		8,250	(-3.5%)
12/1/2014	CONAN THE AVENGER #9		8,105	(-1.8%)
1/1/2015	CONAN THE AVENGER #10	8,024	(-1.0%)
2/1/2015	CONAN THE AVENGER #11	7,995	(-0.4%)

Ditto.

220.) Cluster #1 (Boom! Studios)
2/1/2015	CLUSTER #1 (MR)	7,852

The initial run may have been low, but this went back for a second printing.

221.) Escape from New York #3 (Boom! Studios)
12/1/2014	ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK #1	15,450	
1/1/2015	ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK #2	9,221	(-40.3%)
2/1/2015	ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK #3	7,761	(-15.8%)

If this stabilizes by next issue we may see it on the chart a few more times.

224.) Adventure Time Marceline Gone Adrift #2 (Boom! Studios)
1/1/2015	ADVENTURE TIME MARCELINE GONE ADRIFT #1	9,493	
2/1/2015	ADVENTURE TIME MARCELINE GONE ADRIFT #2	7,613 (-19.8%)

One of the lower second issue drops of the month.

225.) Legenderry Green Hornet #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
2/1/2015	LEGENDERRY GREEN HORNET #1	7,593

Green Hornet can’t hold a candle to Red Sonja or Vampirella.

226.) Disney Frozen Adaptation #1 (Joe Books Inc.)
2/1/2015	DISNEY FROZEN ADAPTATION #1	$4.99	JOE	7,553

Frozen fever is still going on, but there doesn’t seem to be much overlap between frozen fans (little girls) and comics.

227.) John Carter Warlord #4 (Dynamite Entertainment)
11/1/2014	JOHN CARTER WARLORD #1		15,930	
12/1/2014	JOHN CARTER WARLORD #2 		8,858	(-44.4%)
1/1/2015	JOHN CARTER WARLORD #3 		8,236	(-7.0%)
2/1/2015	JOHN CARTER WARLORD #4 		7,444	(-9.6%)

I don’t read this title, so I can’t tell you if something really off-putting happened in issue three to drive readers away, or this current hit was just the luck of the dice.

228.) Thief of Thieves #26 (Image)
5/1/2014	THIEF OF THIEVES #21 (MR)	9,625	(-2.5%)
7/1/2014	THIEF OF THIEVES #22 (MR)	9,457	(-1.7%)
8/1/2014	THIEF OF THIEVES #23 (MR)	9,069	(-4.1%)
10/1/2014	THIEF OF THIEVES #24 (MR)	8,731	(-3.7%)
11/1/2014	THIEF OF THIEVES #25 (MR)	8,336	(-4.2%)
2/1/2015	THIEF OF THIEVES #26 (MR)	7,428	(-10.9%)

Continuing on, we have more unexplained large dips in numbers. Maybe the angry naked woman on the cover scared everyone away.

229.) GI Joe (2014) #9 (IDW)
9/1/2014	GI JOE (2014) #1	16,848	
10/1/2014	GI JOE (2014) #2	9,708	(-42.4%)
11/1/2014	GI JOE (2014) #3 	8,602	(-11.4%)
12/1/2014	GI JOE (2014) #4	8,282	(-3.7%)
2/1/2015	GI JOE (2014) #5	7,385	(-10.8%)

Apparently this title doesn’t want to stabilize either.

230.) Sparks Nevada Marshal on Mars #1 (Image)

2/1/2015	SPARKS NEVADA MARSHAL ON MARS #1	7,362

This mini series is based on the hit Nerdist podcast. It makes me wonder how high the digital sales on this title are.

231.) BRPD Hell on Earth #128 (Dark Horse)
9/1/2014	BPRD HELL ON EARTH #123		7,762	(-3.0%)
10/1/2014	BPRD HELL ON EARTH #124		7,759	0%
11/1/2014	BPRD HELL ON EARTH #125		7,534	(-2.9%)
12/1/2014	BPRD HELL ON EARTH #126		7,535	0%
1/1/2015	BPRD HELL ON EARTH #127		7,275	(-3.5%)
2/1/2015	BPRD HELL ON EARTH #128		7,341	(+0.9%)

Tiny upswing this month, fighting to stay above 7k.

232.) Satellite Sam #11 (Image)
2/1/2014	Satellite Sam #6 	10,797	(-17.3%)
3/1/2014	Satellite Sam #7	10,210	(-5.4%)
5/1/2014	Satellite Sam #8 	9,997	(-2.1%)
7/1/2014	Satellite Sam #9	9,271	(-7.3%)
9/1/2014	Satellite Sam #10	8,655	(-6.5%)
2/1/2015	Satellite Sam #11	7,211	(-16.7%)

Since new story arcs typically bring in additional readers, it’s strange to see such a large drop on this issue.

233.) Tomb Raider #13 (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014	TOMB RAIDER #9		8,748	(-4.1%)
11/1/2014	TOMB RAIDER #10		8,153	(-6.8%)
12/1/2014	TOMB RAIDER #11		7,730	(-5.2%)
1/1/2015	TOMB RAIDER #12		7,407	(-4.2%)
2/1/2015	TOMB RAIDER #13		7,160	(-3.3%)

Nothing strange going on here, just normal attrition.

234.) Rai #7 (Valiant)
4/1/2014	RAI #1		29,137	
6/1/2014	RAI #2		13,448	(-53.8%)
7/1/2014	RAI #3		10,665	(-20.7%)
8/1/2014	RAI #4		9,394	(-12.4%)
12/1/2014	RAI #5 	8,280	(-11.9%)
1/1/2015	RAI #6 	8,301	(+0.3%)
2/1/2015	RAI #7		7,151	(-13.9%)

Still waiting to see a drop under 10%.

235.) D4VE #1 (IDW)
2/1/2015	D4VE #1		7,120

Thi is another title we’ll have to wait and see about.

237.) X-O Manowar #33 (Valiant)
5/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #25		12,493	(+45.4%)
6/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #26		10,083	(-19.3%)
7/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #27		9,183	(-8.9%)
8/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #28		9,634	(+4.9%)
9/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #29		8,566	(-11.1%)
11/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #30		8,354	(-2.5%)
12/1/2014	X-O MANOWAR #31		7,398	(-11.4%)
1/1/2015	X-O MANOWAR #32		7,042	(-4.8%)
2/1/2015	X-O MANOWAR #33		7,056	(+0.2%)

Always nice to get a break from attrition.

238.) Transformers Drift Empire of Stone #4 (IDW)
11/1/2014	TRANSFORMERS DRIFT EMPIRE OF STONE #1	9,246	
12/1/2014	TRANSFORMERS DRIFT EMPIRE OF STONE #2	7,729	(-16.4%)
1/1/2015	TRANSFORMERS DRIFT EMPIRE OF STONE #3	7,109	(-8.0%)
2/1/2015	TRANSFORMERS DRIFT EMPIRE OF STONE #4	7,033	(-1.1%)

This title only lost about two thousand readers from start to finish. Not too bad.

239.) Groo Friends and Foes #2 (Dark Horse)
1/1/2015	GROO FRIENDS AND FOES #1	8,446	
2/1/2015	GROO FRIENDS AND FOES #2	6,986	(-17.3%)

A low second issue drop.

240.) George Perez's Sirens #3 (Boom! Studios)
9/1/2014	GEORGE PEREZ SIRENS #1	24,900	
12/1/2014	GEORGE PEREZ SIRENS #2	9,837	(-60.5%)
2/1/2015	GEORGE PEREZ SIRENS #3	6,953	(-29.3%)

Yup.

241.) Simpsons Comics #214 (Bongo Comics)
8/1/2014	SIMPSONS COMICS #214		7,079	----
10/1/2014	SIMPSONS COMICS #215		6,818	(-3.7%)
12/1/2014	SIMPSONS COMICS #216		6,758	(-0.8%)
1/1/2015	SIMPSONS COMICS #217		6,583	(-2.6%)
2/1/2015	SIMPSONS COMICS #218		6,905	(+4.9%)

This title has been staying between six thousand and seven thousand readers for ages. It was due for another upswing.

243.) Rachel Rising #31 (Abstract Studios)
4/1/2014	RACHEL RISING #25	7,378	--
6/1/2014	RACHEL RISING #26	7,260	(-1.6%)

3. Indie Month-to-Month Sales January 2015: Return of Comics Past

Dyingandthedead_01

By Kate Reynolds

If December was a rough month for comics, January gives us glimpses of several titles that haven’t been on the chart for quite some time. Titles like Purgatori from Dynamite Entertainment, Borderlands Fall of Fyrestone from IDW, and Zero from Image made reappearances that let us know how these series were doing.

This month 142 independent titles hit the top 300 list, which is up from last month’s total of 133. Even with the addition of nine titles to the list, sales were down 7.6% compared to last month’s 1,506,427. That brings the average number of comics sold to 9,867, which is also down from last month. There’s plenty of room for these numbers to grow in the year 2015.

In terms of individual publishers, Image leads with a 9.21% market share and a 8.91% unit market share. IDW comes in next with a 5.78% market share and a 4.52% unit market share, while Dark Horse is trails behind with a 4.01% market share and a 3.03% unit market share. Boom! Studios and Dynamite Entertainment compete fiercely; Boom! with a 2.26% market share and a 2.28% unit market share and Dynamite Entertainment with a 2.41% market share and a 2.22% market share.

UK and European Sales from Diamond UK are not represented in this chart.

9/1/2014            Jupiters Legacy #3            43,766            (-9.2%)
3/1/2014            Jupiters Legacy #4             36,918            (-15.6%)
1/1/2015            Jupiters Legacy #5            29,055            (-21.3%)

Considering the multiple publishing delays, the first volume of this series still ended with a bang.

77.) Bitch Planet #2 (Image)

12/1/2014            BITCH PLANET #1 (MR)             39,011           
1/1/2015            BITCH PLANET #2 (MR)            26,508            (-32.0%)

This second issue drop falls into the normal range for indie comics. I was hoping that it might be more non-compliant though.

90.) Fade Out #4 (Image)

8/1/2014            Fade Out #1 (Mr)             34,447           
10/1/2014            FADE OUT #2 (MR)             27,797            (-19.3%)
11/1/2014            FADE OUT #3 (MR)             24,584            (-11.6%)
1/1/2015            FADE OUT #4 (MR)            23,902            (-2.8%)

This series has had some very mild drops for it’s first four issues. If it continues suit, we’ll only see minor attrition for the next few issues.

96.) Sex Criminals #10 (Image)

6/1/2014            SEX CRIMINALS #6 (Mr)            26,309            (+16.4%)
8/1/2014            SEX CRIMINALS #7 (Mr)            24,385            (-7.3%)
10/1/2014            SEX CRIMINALS #8 (MR)            23,938            (-1.8%)
12/1/2014            SEX CRIMINALS #9 (MR)            22,597            (-5.6%)
1/1/2015            SEX CRIMINALS #10 (MR)            22,067            (-2.3%)

Solid numbers as Sex Criminals concludes it’s second story arc. There was a jump in numbers for the beginning of this arc, so we may see something similar when the third arc begins.

102.) ODY-C #2 (Image)

11/1/2014            ODYC #1 (MR)             47,414           
1/1/2015            ODYC #2 (MR)             21,316            (-55.0%)

Considering how large of a second issue hit this title took, it’s incredibly fortunate they started out with such high numbers for the first issue.

105.) The Wicked + The Divine #7 (Image)

6/1/2014            WICKED & DIVINE #1 (MR)            42,948           
7/1/2014            WICKED & DIVINE #2 (MR)            27,962            (-34.9%)
8/1/2014            WICKED & DIVINE #3 (MR)            27,208            (-2.7%)
9/1/2014            WICKED & DIVINE #4 (MR)            25,668            (-5.7%)
10/1/2014            WICKED & DIVINE #5 (MR)            25,424            (-1.0%)
12/1/2014            WICKED & DIVINE #6 (MR)            22,159            (-12.2%)
1/1/2015            WICKED & DIVINE #7 (MR)            20,893            (-5.7%)

The beginning of the second story arc saw a small hit in numbers, which look to be slowing down once again.

110.) Autumnlands Tooth & Claw #3 (Image)

11/1/2014            TOOTH & CLAW #1 (MR)                               41,181           
12/1/2014            AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #2 (MR)             33,272            (-19.2%)
1/1/2015            AUTUMNLANDS TOOTH & CLAW #3 (MR)             20,173            (-39.4%)

Whoo boy did this title take a hit this month. We’ll look for some stabilization next issue, or at least a drop under 15%.

119.) My Little Pony Friendship is Magic (IDW)

5/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #19            22,820            (-12.5%)
6/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #20            20,711            (-9.2%)
7/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #21            20,871            (+0.8%)
8/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #22            21,642            (+3.7%)
9/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #23            19,491            (-9.9%
10/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #24            20,762            (+6.5%)
11/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #25            26,619            (+28.2%)
12/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #26            17,454            (-34.4%)
1/1/2015            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #27            18,128            (+3.9%)

Slight upswing this month for the ponies. These numbers jump around so often you’d think the book was about kangaroos.

121.) Trees #8 (Image)

5/1/2014            TREES #1 (Mr)            31,926            --
6/1/2014            TREES #2 (Mr)            25,515            (-20.1%)
7/1/2014            TREES #3 (Mr)             23,822            (-6.6%)
8/1/2014            TREES #4 (Mr)            23,639            (-0.8%)
9/1/2014            TREES #5 (Mr)            22,244            (-5.9%)
10/1/2014            TREES #6 (MR)            20,720            (-6.9%)
11/1/2014            TREES #7 (MR)            19,287            (-6.9%)
1/1/2015            TREES #8 (MR)            18,012            (-6.6%)

Steady losses for the last few issues. I’d generally hope that by this point in a series, the attrition is much slower.

125.) Twilight Zone: Shadow and Substance #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

125            1/1/2015            TWILIGHT ZONE S&S #1            17,084

Good debut for this Twilight Zone mini-series. We’ll see what the second issue brings us.

127.) Casanova Acedia #1 (Image)

1/1/2015            CASANOVA ACEDIA #1 (MR)            $3.99            IMA            16,780

Matt Fraction and Fabio Moon’s latest edition to the Casanova series has a solid debut. With a back-up story by Michael Chabon though, I thought this might command greater attention.

128.) Hellboy and the BRPD 1952 #2 (Dark Horse)

12/1/2014            HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #1            1952   22,368           
1/1/2015            HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #2 1952            16,725            (-25.2%)

Normal second issue drop for this edition to the Mignolaverse.

130.) BTVS Season 10 #11 (Dark Horse)

10/1/2014            BTVS SEASON 10 #8            17,729            (+1.6%)
11/1/2014            BTVS SEASON 10 #9            17,067            (-3.7%)
12/1/2014            BTVS SEASON 10 #10            16,448            (-3.6%)
1/1/2015            BTVS SEASON 10 #11            16,493            (+0.3%)

Tiny upswing this month.

132.) TMNT Ghostbusters #4 (IDW)

10/1/2014            TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #1             21,223           
11/1/2014            TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #2            16,624            (-21.7%)
12/1/2014            TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #3            15,264            (-8.2%)
1/1/2015            TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #4            16,420            (+7.6%)

This series has been nothing but a pure delight, even ending with a solid upswing in readers.

134.) Munchkin #1 (BOOM!)

1/1/2015            MUNCHKIN #1            16,234

A comic based on a tabletop game, what is the world coming to? Pretty solid debut too.

135.) Lazarus #14 (Image)

8/1/2014            LAZARUS #10            18,051            (-5.3%)
9/1/2014            LAZARUS #11            16,531            (-8.4%)
10/1/2014            LAZARUS #12             16,838            (+1.9%)
11/1/2014            LAZARUS #13             16,094            (-4.4%)
1/1/2015            LAZARUS #14             15,896            (-1.2%)

These numbers jump around a bit, but looks like attrition is still taking hold.

137.) Ivar Timewalker #1 (Valiant)

1/1/2015            IVAR TIMEWALKER #1            15,784

Not a bad debut, but when you start out with under 20k readers you’d better hope for a small second issue drop.

140.) Doctor Who 11th #7 (Titan)

9/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 11TH #2            15,947            (-61.2)
10/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 11TH #3            14,854            (-6.9%)
10/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 11TH #4            13,411            (-9.7%)
12/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 11TH #5             13,477            (+0.5%)
12/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 11TH #6             14,538            (+7.9%)
1/1/2015            DOCTOR WHO 11TH #7            15,614            (+7.4%)

The last three issues have seen a steady rise in numbers, taking us back up to second issue levels.

141.) Conan Red Sonja #1 (Dark Horse)

1/1/2015            CONAN RED SONJA #1            15,398

Solid debut for a fun team-up, and I’m not just talking about Conan and Red Sonja – Jim Zub and Gail Simone are another all-star team.

144.) My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #27 (IDW)

6/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #20            20,711            (-9.2%)
7/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #21            20,871            (+0.8%)
8/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #22            21,642            (+3.7%)
9/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #23            19,491            (-9.9%)
10/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #24            20,762            (+6.5%)
11/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #25            26,619            (+28.2%)
12/1/2014            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #26            17,454            (-34.4%)
1/1/2015            My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #27            18,128            (+3.9%)

If you ignore some of the larger upswings, it does appear as if attrition is hitting this title, albeit in a roundabout way.

146.) Rumble #2 (Image)

12/1/2014            RUMBLE #1 (MR)             22,527           
1/1/2015            RUMBLE #2 (MR)            14,580            (-35.3%)

Slightly above average second issue drop. As long as the third issue doesn’t drop too much, the title should settle into healthy numbers.

148.) TMNT Ongoing #47 (IDW)

6/1/2014            TMNT ONGOING #35            15,174            (-13.0%)
7/1/2014            TMNT ONGOING #36            15,415            (+1.6%)
8/1/2014            TMNT ONGOING #37            15,470            (+0.4%)
10/1/2014            TMNT ONGOING #38            15,498            (+0.2%)
10/1/2014            TMNT ONGOING #39            15,235            (-1.7%)
11/1/2014            TMNT ONGOING #40            14,734            (-3.3%)
12/1/2014            TMNT ONGOING #41            14,970            (+1.6%)
1/1/2015            TMNT ONGOING #42            14,286            (-4.6%)

Some minimal attrition at play over the last few months.

155.) Deadly Class #10 (Image)

1/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #1                        34,572            --
2/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #2             21,159            (-38.8%)
3/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #3                        18,536            (-12.4%)
4/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #4                        17,855            (-3.7%)

6/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #6             16,305            (-4.6%)
9/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #7             14,834            (-9.0%)
10/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #8             15,003            (+1.1%)
11/1/2014            DEADLY CLASS #9             14,148            (-6.7%)
1/1/2015            DEADLY CLASS #10             13,552            (-4.2%)

Some steady decline since this book debuted a year ago. This is still one of my personal top ten books currently out though.

156.) Birthright #4 (Image)

10/1/2014            BIRTHRIGHT #1             27,234           
11/1/2014            BIRTHRIGHT #2            18,484            (-32.1%)
12/1/2014            BIRTHRIGHT #3            14,247            (-22.9%)
1/1/2015            BIRTHRIGHT #4            13,506            (-5.2%)

It feels like this title has finally found its runaway truck stop and hit the breaks on their reader decline.

157.) Star Trek Planet of the Apes #2 (IDW)

12/1/2014            STAR TREK PLANET OF THE APES #1             17,307           
1/1/2015            STAR TREK PLANET OF THE APES #2            13,460            (-22.2%)

Standard second issue drop.

159.) Doctor Who 12th #4 (Titan)

10/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 12TH #1            33,891           
11/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 12TH #2             15,277            (-54.9%)
12/1/2014            DOCTOR WHO 12TH #3            14,144            (-7.4%)
1/1/2015            DOCTOR WHO 12TH #4            13,214            (-6.6%)

The numbers are still slowing down for the 12th Doctor. Next issue we should see a loss under 5%.

A second issue drop under 20k is an accomplishment for any indie comic.

At this point any drop between 5-10% seems average for this title.

184.) GI Joe Snake Eyes Agent of Cobra #1 (IDW)

1/1/2015            GI JOE SNAKE EYES AGENT OF COBRA #1            9,539

A debut under 10k isn’t ideal, but as long as the second issue drop isn’t too bad this is still in healthy territory.

185.) Adventure Time Marcline Gone Adrift #1 (BOOM!)

1/1/2015            ADVENTURE TIME MARCELINE GONE ADRIFT #1                        9,493

1/1/2015            RASPUTIN #4 (MR)            9,264            (-5.2%)

We’re finally seeing the numbers slow down on this title. Not quite in time to keep it above the 10k mark, but hovering just below.

188.) Escape from New York #2 (BOOM!)

12/1/2014            ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK #1                        15,450

A sizable second issue drop.

190.) Drifter #3 (Image)

11/1/2014            DRIFTER #1 (MR)                        20,887

We should see this title stabilize next issue.

191.) Supreme Blue Rose #6 (Image)

7/1/2014            SUPREME BLUE ROSE#1             26,100            --

1/1/2015            SUPREME BLUE ROSE #6             8,893            (-9.1%)

Good to see the numbers slowing down on this title. We’ll have to wait for the next few issues before an actual pattern can be established.

192.) Zombies vs. Robots #1 (IDW)

1/1/2015            ZOMBIES VS ROBOTS #1            8,725

A lackluster debut for this title.

193.) X-Files Season 10 #20 (IDW)

1/1/2015            X-FILES SEASON 10 #20            8,708            (-4.5%)

More attrition this month. This title has lost roughly five thousand readers in the past year.

194.)Transformers #37 Days of Deception (IDW)

11/1/2014            TRANSFORMERS #35 DAYS OF DECEPTION            9,354            (-0.7%)

12/1/2014            TRANSFORMERS #36 DAYS OF DECEPTION            8,964            (-4.2%)

1/1/2015            TRANSFORMERS #37 DAYS OF DECEPTION            8,686            (-3.1%)

Continued minor attrition for this title.
195.) Lumberjanes #10 (BOOM!)

4/1/2014            LUMBERJANES #1                        13,129            --

5/1/2014            LUMBERJANES #2                        9,904            (-24.6%)

Lumberjanes has seen some steady attrition since the end of the first story-arc.

197.) Millenium #1 (IDW)

1/1/2015            MILLENNIUM #1            8,505

Millenium is tangentially related to the X-Files universe, making this a decent debut for a niche title.

198.) Groo Friends and Foes #1 (Dark Horse)

1/1/2015            GROO FRIENDS AND FOES #1                        8,446

Not as strong a debut as the last series Groo was in, Groo vs. Conan, which debuted to 13,942 readers.

199.) Lady Killer #1 (Dark Horse)

1/1/2015            LADY KILLER #1                        8,431

Low debut for this new title from Joelle Jones and Jamie S. Rich. However, I know that this went for a second printing so don’t let the initial low numbers fool you.

200.) Sonic the Hedgehog #268 (Archie Comics)

10/1/2014            SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #265                        8,869            (-1.7%)

11/1/2014            SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #266                        8,822            (-0.5%)

12/1/2014            SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #267                        8,608            (-2.4%)

1/1/2015            SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #268                        8,383            (-2.6%)

Slow and steady attrition.

201.) Alex + Ada #10 (Image)

1/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #3                        10,242            (-4.3%)

2/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #4                        9,862            (-3.7%)

3/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #5                        9,761            (-1.0%)

5/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #6                        9,869            (+1.1%)

6/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #7                        9,579            (-2.9%)

8/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #8                        9,453            (-1.3%)

10/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #9                        9,370            (-0.9%)

11/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #10                        8,946            (-4.5%)

12/1/2014            ALEX + ADA #11                        8,619            (-3.7%)

Alex + Ada may be subject to standard attrition, but it’s only lost approximately two thousands readers in the past year. That’s pretty solid.

202.) Rai #6 (Valiant)

4/1/2014            RAI #1                        29,137           

6/1/2014            RAI #2                        13,448            (-53.8%)

7/1/2014            RAI #3                        10,665            (-20.7%)

8/1/2014            RAI #4                        9,394            (-12.4%)

12/1/2014            RAI #5                         8,280            (-11.9%)

1/1/2015            RAI #6                         8,301            (+0.3%)

A tiny upswing this month for Rai. Glad to see a positive change of pace.

203.) John Carter Warlord #3 (Dynamite Entertainment)

11/1/2014            JOHN CARTER WARLORD #1                        15,930           

12/1/2014            JOHN CARTER WARLORD #2                         8,858            (-44.4%)

1/1/2015            JOHN CARTER WARLORD #3                         8,236            (-7.0%)

Impressed to see the drops slowing down by the third issue. With titles in the bottom third of the top 300 list, drops don’t always slow down until the fourth or fifth issue.

204.) Ten Grande #12 (Image)

5/1/2013            Ten Grand #1 (Mr)             57,216           

6/1/2013            Ten Grand #2 (Mr)            29,241            (-48.9%)

7/1/2013            Ten Grand #3 (Mr)             21,858            (-25.5%)

8/1/2013            Ten Grand #4 (Mr)            19,017            (-13.0%)

11/1/2013            Ten Grand #5 (Mr)            17,020            (-10.5%)

12/1/2013            Ten Grand #6 (Mr)            15,366            (-9.7%)

2/1/2013            Ten Grand #7 (Mr)            13,201            (-14.1%)

3/1/2014            Ten Grand #8 (Mr)            12,117            (-8.2%)

4/1/2014            Ten Grand #9 (Mr)            11,210            (-7.5%)

7/1/2014            Ten Grand #10 (Mr)            10,354            (-7.6%)

11/1/2014            Ten Grand #11 (MR)            8,932            (-13.7%)

1/1/2015            Ten Grand #12 (MR)            8,168            (-8.6%)

These numbers are a cautionary tale of what can happen when a comic doesn’t keep to a stable publishing schedule – the comic lost nearly 50k readers from start to finish. Still, I quite enjoyed this title, which makes these numbers that much more heartbreaking.

205.) IXth Generation #1 (Image)

1/1/2015            IXTH GENERATION #1            8,145

The most recent addition to the Topcow universe might not have hit the 10k mark, but the numbers are comparable to other Topcow series.

207.) Revival #27 (Image)

10/1/2014            REVIVAL #24 (MR)            9,019            (-4.7%)

11/1/2014            REVIVAL #25 (MR)            9,535            (+5.7%)

12/1/2014            REVIVAL #26 (MR)            8,696            (-8.8%)

1/1/2015            REVIVAL #27 (MR)            8,057            (-7.3%)

Some continued attrition for Revival. It’s a bit on the high side, so hopefully next issue will bring a drop under five percent.

208.) Conan the Avenger #10 (Dark Horse)

4/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #1            11,565           

5/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #2            9,946            (-14.0%)

6/1/2013            CONAN THE AVENGER #3            9,486            (-4.6%)

7/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #4            9,182            (-3.2%)

8/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #5            8,941            (-2.6%)

9/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #6            8,820            (-1.4%)

10/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #7            8,547            (-3.1%)

11/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #8            8,250            (-3.5%)

12/1/2014            CONAN THE AVENGER #9            8,105            (-1.8%)

1/1/2015            CONAN THE AVENGER #10            8,024            (-1.0%)

Though these numbers are on the low side, the consistency and very minor attrition is something to be admired.

210.) Red Sonja Vulture's Circle #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

1/1/2015            RED SONJA VULTURES CIRCLE #1            7,888

The Red Sonja ongoing is still breaking the 10k mark, it looks like Dynamite is spreading it’s readers thin with this new mini-series.

211.) Roche Limit #4 (Image)

9/1/2014            ROCHE LIMIT #1 (MR)            23,404            --

10/1/2014            ROCHE LIMIT #2 (MR)            11,424            (-51.2%)

11/1/2014            ROCHE LIMIT #3 (MR)            9,296            (-18.9%)

1/1/2015            ROCHE LIMIT #4 (MR)            7,885            (-15.2%)

If these numbers don’t stop falling this title might fall off the chart soon.

212.) Edward Scissorhands #3 (IDW)

10/1/2014            EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #1                         13,533           

11/1/2014            EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #2                         10,121            (-25.2%)

1/1/2015            EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #3                         7,823            (-22.7%)

We’ll look for a loss under 15% next month. If not, this might not make the top 300 again.

213.) Reyn #1 (Image)

1/1/2015            REYN #1                        7,797

This is the third title that Kel Symons has created with Image. I Love Trouble debuted to roughly 7k readers and The Mercenary Sea debuted to roughly 10k, so the current numbers feel appropriate for this new series.

216.) Sonic Boom #3 (Archie Comics)

10/1/2014            SONIC BOOM #1                        17,228           

12/1/2014            SONIC BOOM #2                        8,216            (-52.3)

1/1/2015            SONIC BOOM #3                        7,474            (-9.0%)

Very healthy third issue drop, should start stabilizing next issue.

217.) Tomb Raider #12 (Dark Horse)

7/1/2014            TOMB RAIDER #6                        10,149            (-3.7%)

8/1/2014            TOMB RAIDER #7                        9,429            (-7.1%)

9/1/2014            TOMB RAIDER #8                        9,125            (-3.2%)

10/1/2014            TOMB RAIDER #9                        8,748            (-4.1%)

11/1/2014            TOMB RAIDER #10                        8,153            (-6.8%)

12/1/2014            TOMB RAIDER #11                        7,730            (-5.2%)

1/1/2015            TOMB RAIDER #12                        7,407            (-4.2%)

Steady attrition.

218.) BPRD Hell On Earth #127 (Dark Horse)

1/1/2014            BPRD HELL ON EARTH #115                        9,072            (+4.7%)

Very minor attrition over the past year.

Some big ups and downs over the past year, but attrition has steadily taken it’s toll for the last few issues.

224.) Galaxy Quest the Journey Continues #1 (IDW)

1/1/2015            GALAXY QUEST JOURNEY CONTINUES #1            $3.99            IDW            6,947

I adore everything about Galaxy Quest, but the niche nature of the title makes for fewer readers. Still, the writer, Erik Burnham, has distinguished himself with the Ghostbusters series, so it’s exciting to see what he’ll do with a new property.

226.) New Vampirella #6 (Dynamite Entertainment)

6/1/2014            NEW VAMPIRELLA #1            22,864           

7/1/2014            NEW VAMPIRELLA #2            9,445            (-58.7%)

12/1/2014            NEW VAMPIRELLA #7            7,417            (+0.5%)

1/1/2015            NEW VAMPIRELLA #8            6,715            (-9.5%)

A large drop this month making up for last month’s minor raise. The series continues to lose readers to above average attrition.

227.) Elfquest Final Quest #7 (Dark Horse)

1/1/2014            ELFQUEST FINAL QUEST #1                        9,861            --

3/1/2014            ELFQUEST FINAL QUEST #2                        8,390            (-14.9%)

7/1/2014            ELFQUEST FINAL QUEST #4                        7,622            (-3.7%)

9/1/2014            ELFQUEST FINAL QUEST #5                        7,364            (-3.4%)

11/1/2014            ELFQUEST FINAL QUEST #6                        6,961            (-5.5%)

1/1/2015            ELFQUEST FINAL QUEST #7                        6,710            (-3.6%)

Some attrition for Elfquest, but for a decades old series it still has some kick.

231.) Godzilla Rulers of Earth #20 (IDW)

3/1/2014            Godzilla Rulers of the Earth #10            6,677            (+0.2%)

12/1/2014            Godzilla Rulers of the Earth #19            6,964            (-1.4%)

1/1/2015            Godzilla Rulers of the Earth #20 6,588            (-5.4%)

Above average drop for this title, yet overall the numbers are incredibly consistent.

232.) Shutter #8 (Image)

4/1/2014            SHUTTER #1 (MR)                        18,984

6/1/2014            SHUTTER #3 (MR)                        9,887            (-19.4%)

7/1/2014            SHUTTER #4 (MR)                        9,107            (-7.9%)

After a large jump, Shutter manages to loose all it gained and then some.

233.) Simpsons Comics #217 (Bongo Comics)

6/1/2014            SIMPSONS COMICS #212                        6,619            (-3.6%)

7/1/2014            SIMPSONS COMICS #213                        ????            ----

This comic has stayed steady in the same range for quite some time.

234.) War Stories #4 (Avatar)

10/1/2014            WAR STORIES #1 (MR)            9,487           

10/1/2014            WAR STORIES #2 (MR)            6,723            (-29.1%)

12/1/2014            WAR STORIES #3 (MR)            6,865            (+2.1%)

1/1/2015            WAR STORIES #4 (MR)            6,575            (-4.2%)

Even with lower numbers, stability is something to be admired.

235.) Abe Sapien #19 (Dark Horse)

1/1/2014            ABE SAPIEN #9            8,516            (-1.2%)

7/1/2014            ABE SAPIEN #14            7,469            (-2.7%)

8/1/2014            ABE SAPIEN #15            7,244            (-3.0%)

1/1/2015            ABE SAPIEN #19            6,453            (-3.0%)

Steady attrition.

236.) King Flash Gordon #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

1/1/2015            KING FLASH GORDON #1            6,413

With a standard second issue drop we may not see this title on the charts again.

237.) King the Phantom #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

1/1/2015            KING THE PHANTOM #1            $3.99            DE            6,267

The King cross-over event may not be the smash Dynamite was hoping for.

238.) GI Joe a Real American Hero #21 (IDW)

9/1/2014            GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #204             7,651            (+16.6%)

10/1/2014            GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #207                   6,494            (-16.1%)

11/1/2014            GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #208             7,810            (+20.3%)

12/1/2014            GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #209                        6,344            (-18.8%)

1/1/2015            GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #210             6,216            (-2.0%)

After a few large ups and down, it looks like this could be the start of a more normal pattern.

239.) Justice Inc. #6 (Dynamite Entertainment)

8/1/2014            Justice Inc #1                        12,020           

9/1/2014            Justice Inc #2                        8,651            (-28.0%)

10/1/2014            JUSTICE INC #3                        7,546            (-12.8%)

12/1/2014            JUSTICE INC #5                        6,660            (-5.6%)

1/1/2015            JUSTICE INC #6                        6,078            (-8.7)

The final issue of the mini-series ends with a large drop. However, that is most likely in part due to the $5.99 cover price.

240.) Vampirella Feary Tales #4 (Dynamite Entertainment)

10/1/2014            VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #1            10,571           

11/1/2014            VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #2            6,607            (-37.5%)

12/1/2014            VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #3            6,341            (-4.0%)

1/1/2015            VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #4            6,076            (-4.2%)

Seeing some attrition for this title. The last issue should still make the top 300 chart though.

241.) God Hates Astronauts #5 (Image)

9/1/2014            GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #1 (MR)            16,689           

10/1/2014            GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #2 (MR)            10,178            (-39.0%)

11/1/2014            GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #3 (MR)            8,017            (-21.2%)

12/1/2014            GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #4 (MR)            7,008            (-12.6%)

1/1/2015            GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #5 (MR)            6,071            (-13.4%)

This title needs to find the runaway truck stop. Another drop like this and it won’t make the chart again.

242.) October Faction #4 (Image)

10/1/2014            OCTOBER FACTION #1             9,181           

11/1/2014            OCTOBER FACTION #2             7,174            (-21.9%)

12/1/2014            OCTOBER FACTION #3             6,445            (-10.1%)

1/1/2015            OCTOBER FACTION #4            6,044            (-6.2%)

This title looks to be stabilizing.

244.) Humans #3 (Image)

11/1/2014            HUMANS #1 (MR)            17,274           

12/1/2014            HUMANS #2 (MR)            7,132            (-58.7%)

1/1/2015            HUMANS #3 (MR)            5,870            (-17.7%)

If the title can manage a drop 10% or lower next issue it may still make the chart.

246.) Uber #21 (Avatar)

Above average drop this month. If Kieron Gillen still intends to write 60 issues of Uber, the series needs to pick up some readers.

247.) Spongebob Comics #40 (United Plankton Pictures)

Steady minor attrition.

Large second issue drop. I don’t expect to see this on the chart for much longer.

249.) Feathers #1 (BOOM!)

249            1/1/2015            FEATHERS #1            5,781

Sadly an average debut for a non-IP children’s comic. It looks gorgeous though.

250.) Sex #19 (Image)

1/1/2014            Sex #10 (Mr)            9,947            (-7.1%)

Overall this title has seen a 40% drop in the last year. That’s more than a little attrition.

251.) Quantum and Woody Must Die #1 (Valiant)

1/1/2015            QUANTUM & WOODY MUST DIE #1            5,771

The last Quantum and Woody series, Q2: Quantum and Woody Return, debuted to 8,226 readers and had 4.6k with its latest issue. It doesn’t bode well that this title is debuting this low.

253.) Burning Fields #1 (BOOM!)

1/1/2015            BURNING FIELDS #1             5,729

A low debut, but this one is going back for a second printing.

One of the lowest drops this title has seen. Could it be….stabilizing??

255.) Graveyard Shift #2 (Image)

12/1/2014            GRAVEYARD SHIFT #1            10,388           

1/1/2015            GRAVEYARD SHIFT #2            5,717            (-45.0%)

An unhealthy second issue drop.

More attrition for Sons of Anarchy.

More high attrition for this title.

260.) Samurai Jack #16 (IDW)

1/1/2015            SAMURAI JACK #16            5,510            (-8.5%)

A larger than average drop this month.

261.) Intersect #3 (Image)

11/1/2014            INTERSECT #1             18,292

1/1/2015            INTERSECT #3             5,407            (-27.3%)

Next month should see a 10-15% drop, which will likely keep this title from making the chart again.

262.) Twilight Zone #11 (IDW)

12/1/2013            Twilight Zone #1            21,723

Looks like this title has stabilized and is just suffering normal attrition now.

1/1/2015            GOD IS DEAD #26 (MR)            5,298            (-9.8%)

1/1/2015 GOD IS DEAD #27 (MR) 5,209 (-1.8%)

I assume these numbers are going to re-stabilize in the next few issues.

266.) Powerpuff Girls Super Smash-Up #1 (IDW)

1/1/2015            POWERPUFF GIRLS SUPER SMASH-UP #1            5,295

This Cartoon Network Crossover title (the little ladies visit Dexter’s Lab) isn’t the smashing success that the Powerpuff Girl’s solo title has been.

273 & 267.) Skylanders #4-5 (IDW)

10/1/2014            SKYLANDERS #1                         12,361

These numbers are finally starting to resemble something like stability. Even still, it might not remain on the chart for long.

Large drop this month for the turtles. We’ve seen equally large jumps in the numbers over the past year, so we’ll have to wait to see it play out.

271.) Flash Gordon #8 (Dynamite Entertainment)

This is on the high-end of attrition, but seems normal for this title.

The numbers on this move around a bit, but at least seem to be staying in the same range.

280.) Eternal Warriors Days of Steel (Valiant)

At least the mini-series ended on the chart.

282.) Lady Death (Ongoing) #26 (Dynamite Entertainment)

A major drop follows the first issue this title has seen in almost two years.

283.) Judge Dredd #27 (IDW)

11/1/2014            JUDGE DREDD #25                        6,055            ????

Hopefully this downward spiral will slow next issue.

From what I can tell, this is average attrition for this title.

Another high-ish drop for this title.

There’s only one issue left of this series, but I don’t think it will make the chart.

I doubt we’ll see this title on the chart again.

1/1/2015            PURGATORI #5            4,600            ????

I feel like we can bid this title a final farewell from the chart.

293.) Borderlands Fall of Fyrestone #6 (IDW)

7/1/2014            BORDERLANDS FALL OF FYRESTONE #1            8,830

1/1/2015            BORDERLANDS FALL OF FYRESTONE #6 4,580            ????

It appears as if this title has only been suffering minor attrition.

294.) Zero #14 (Image)

1/1/2015            Zero #14 (MR)            4,567            ????

We may not see this again soon.

296.) GFT Cinderlla #3 (Zenoscope)

11/1/2014            GFT CINDERELLA #1 (MR)                        ????

This series may not have started on that chart, but it finished on it.

297.) GFT Wonderland #31 (Zenoscope)

6/1/2014            GFT WONDERLAND #22 (MR)                        5,261            (-1.0%)

Maybe we’ll see this title on the chart again when it celebrates its 50th issue.

298.) BSG Death of Apollo #2 (Dynamite Entertainment)

12/1/2014            BSG DEATH OF APOLLO #1            5,626           

1/1/2015            BSG DEATH OF APOLLO #2            4,451            (-20.9%)

Health second issue drop. We may not see this title on the chart anytime soon, but it looks like it will stabilize very quickly.

299.) Evil Ernie #3 (Dynamite Entertainment)

10/1/2014            EVIL ERNIE #1            10,803

Looks like steady attrition has taken it’s toll.

4. Indie Month-to-Month Sales December 2014: It’s a Bitch Planet type month

BitchPlanet1

By Kate Reynolds

December felt like a rough month for comics, with seven titles seeing a drop of over 40% of their readers. The month wasn’t all bad, however, as it also saw the release of Bitch Planet from Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro. It had the highest release of December, followed by Rumble (Image), Hellboy and the BRPD (Dark Horse), and The Valiant (Valiant Entertainment).

This month 133 independent titles hit the top 300 list, which is down from last month’s total of 140. Despite the loss of seven title, indie sales were up 1.2% with 1,506,427 issues sold compared to last month’s 1,488,193. That brings the average number of comics sold to 11,327 which is also up from last month. Nice to end the year on a positive note!

In terms of individual publisher, Image leads the pack with 9.89% retail market share and a 10.40% unit market share, which is slightly down from November. IDW picked up this slack with a 6.10% retail market share and a 4.17% unit market share, followed by Dark Horse with a 3.47% retail market share and a 2.95% unit market share. Boom! Studios came out ahead of Dynamite this month, with a 2.66% retail market share and 2.82% unit market share compared to Dynamite’s 2.58% retail market share and 2.26% unit market share.

UK and European sales from Diamond UK are not reported in this chart.

12.) Walking Dead #135 (Image)
10/1/2014    WALKING DEAD #132 (MR)    326,334    (+367.5)
10/1/2014    WALKING DEAD #133 (MR)    69,561    (-78.7%)
11/1/2014    WALKING DEAD #134 (MR)    68,093    (-2.1%)
12/1/2014    WALKING DEAD #135 (MR)    67,361    (-1.1%)

Unsurprisingly, the Walking Dead continues to be the king of indie comics. Slight decrease this month, but still going strong.

41.) Wytches #3 (Image)
10/1/2014    WYTCHES #1 (MR) 67,996   
11/1/2014    WYTCHES #2 (MR) 58,345    (-14.2%)
12/1/2014    WYTCHES #3 (MR) 43,240    (-25.9%)

This stellar series from Scott Snyder and JOCK is still finding it’s footing, but 40k readers is nothing to scoff at for a third issue.

50.) Bitch Planet #1 (Image)
12/1/2014    BITCH PLANET #1 (MR) [*]    $3.50    IMA    39,011

Strong debut for this #noncompliant title from Kelley Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro. With only one issue out before the end of 2014, many “Best Of” lists still included Bitch Planet. I’ll be interested to see what kind of second issue drop it has, but in the meantime you should just read this book.

54.) Outcast #6 (IMAGE)
6/1/2014    OUTCAST #1 71,788   
7/1/2014    OUTCAST #2    55,126    (-23.2%)
8/1/2014    OUTCAST #3    46,717    (-15.2%)
9/1/2014    OUTCAST #4    45,401    (-2.8%)
11/1/2014    OUTCAST #5     39,967    (-12.0%)
12/1/2014    OUTCAST #6    36,354    (-9.0%)

We’re still seeing some steady drops for this title.

56.) East of West #16 (Image)
6/1/2014    EAST OF WEST #12    7,056    (-3.7%)
7/1/2014    EAST OF WEST #13    26,531    (-1.9%)
7/1/2014    EAST OF WEST #14    26,361    (-0.6%)
9/1/2014    EAST OF WEST #15    25,593    (-2.9%)
12/1/2014    EAST OF WEST #16    35,920    (+40.3%)

Huge upswing this month as East of West beings “Year Two”.

63.) Autumnlands Tooth & Claw #2 (Image)
11/1/2014    TOOTH & CLAW #1 (MR)        41,181   
12/1/2014    AUTUMNLANDS T&C #2 (MR) [*]    33,272    (-19.2%)

Even with a slight title change, this comic managed to only suffer a standard second issue drop.

92.) Afterlife with Archie #7 (Archie Comics)
10/1/2013    AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #1    41,533   
11/1/2013    AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #2    19,188    (-53.8%)
1/1/2014    AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #3    24,266    (+26.5%)
3/1/2014    AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #4    24,165    (-0.4%)
5/1/2014    AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #5    27,071    (+12%)
7/1/2014    AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #6    25,702    (-5.1%)
12/1/2014    AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #7    27,157    (+5.7%)

An increase in sales this month for Afterlife with Archie, although if it holds true to pattern we’ll see a decrease next month.

112.) Sex Criminals #9 (Image)
3/1/2014    SEX CRIMINALS #5 (MR)    22,593    (+0.07%)
6/1/2014    SEX CRIMINALS #6 (MR)    26,309    (+16.4%)
8/1/2014    SEX CRIMINALS #7 (MR)    24,385    (-7.3%)
10/1/2014    SEX CRIMINALS #8 (MR)    23,938    (-1.8%)
12/1/2014    SEX CRIMINALS #9 (MR)    22,597    (-5.6%)

Another decrease for Sex Criminals, but it’s holding steady in the lower 20k range.

113. Rumble #1 (Image)
113    12/1/2014    RUMBLE #1 (MR)     22,527

I’m going to go ahead and say that 20k readers for a comic about a Warrior Scarecrow God is a pretty solid debut.

114.) Hellboy and the BRPD (Dark Horse)
12/1/2014    HELLBOY AND THE BPRD #1    22,368

It’s Hellboy, it’s Mike Mignoala (and John Arcudi, Alex Maleev, David Steward), so naturally it’s the best-selling Dark Horse comic to come out this month.

115.) Wicked & Divine #6 (IMAGE)
6/1/2014    WICKED & DIVINE #1 (MR)    42,948   
7/1/2014    WICKED & DIVINE #2 (MR)    27,962    (-34.9%)
8/1/2014    WICKED & DIVINE #3 (MR)    27,208    (-2.7%)
9/1/2014    WICKED & DIVINE #4 (MR)    25,668    (-5.7%)
10/1/2014    WICKED & DIVINE #5 (MR)    25,424    (-1.0%)
12/1/2014    WICKED & DIVINE #6 (MR)    22,159    (-12.2%)

The second story arc of Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie’s, and Matt Wilson’s irreverent and blasphemous comic starts off by…alienating readers? I just finished the first trade, and I’m itching for more, so this drop feels a bit anomalous.

119.) Low #5 (Image)
7/1/2014    LOW #1 (MR)    43,340    --
8/1/2014    LOW #2 (MR)    28,426    (-34.4%)
9/1/2014    LOW #3 (MR)    24,308    (-14.5%)
10/1/2014    LOW #4 (MR)    23,530    (-3.2%)
12/1/2014    LOW #5 (MR)    21,584    (-8.2%)

Another drop for Low, which might drop below 20,000 next month.

121.) The Valiant (Valiant)
12/1/2014    THE VALIANT #1    21,364

For all of you feeling concerned for Valiant, this new mini-series combining the talents of Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt, and Paolo Rivera had a strong debut.

132.) Black Science #11 (Image)
7/1/2014    BLACK SCIENCE #7 (MR)        28,147    (+13.1%)
9/1/2014    BLACK SCIENCE #8 (MR)        22,429    (-20.3%)
10/1/2014    BLACK SCIENCE #9 (MR)        21,639    (-3.5%)
10/1/2014    BLACK SCIENCE #10 (MR)    21,125    (-2.4%)
12/1/2014    BLACK SCIENCE #11 (MR)    19,688    (-6.8%)

Slight drop.

140. Southern Bastards #6 (Image)
4/1/2014    SOUTHERN BASTARDS #1 (MR)    38,029   
5/1/2014    SOUTHERN BASTARDS #2 (MR)    25,811    (-32.1%)
7/1/2014    SOUTHERN BASTARDS #3 (MR)    21,313    (-17.4%)
9/1/2014    SOUTHERN BASTARDS #4 (MR)    22,317    (+4.7%)
10/1/2014    SOUTHERN BASTARDS #5 (MR)    21,932    (-1.7%)
12/1/2014    SOUTHERN BASTARDS #6 (MR)    18,637    (-15.0%)

Sizable drop.

142.) They're Not Like Us #1 (Image)
12/1/2014    THEYRE NOT LIKE US #1 (MR)    $2.99    IMA    18,015

Strong debut, even with a standard 20-30% drop we should still see the next issues above the 10k mark.

143.) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (IDW)
11/1/2013    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #13    35,653    (+50.5%)
12/1/2013    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #14    22,990    (-35.5%)
1/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #15    27,461    (+19.4%)
2/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #16    26,942    (-1.9%)
3/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #17    26,683    (-0.9%)
4/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #18    26,091    (-2.2%)
5/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #19    22,820    (-12.5%)
6/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #20    20,711    (-9.2%)
7/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #21    20,871    (+0.8%)
8/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #22    21,642    (+3.7%)
9/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #23    19,491    (-9.9%)
10/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #24    20,762    (+6.5%)
11/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic#25    26,619    (+28.2%)
12/1/2014    My Little Pony Friendship is Magic#26    17,454    (-34.4%)

A significant drop this month after a significant climb in the previous month. My Little Pony often bounces back from drops, but this may just be a case of attrition finally catching up to the ponies.

144.) Star Trek Planet of the Apes #1 (IDW)
12/1/2014    STAR TREK PLANET OF THE APES #1    17,307

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Star Trek fans are the best fans to have on your side…if you’re looking for strong sales.

151.) BTVS Seasons 10 #10 (Dark Horse)
7/1/2014    Btvs Season 10 #5    18,827    (-2.8%)
8/1/2014    Btvs Season 10 #6    18,121    (-3.7%)
9/1/2014    Btvs Season 10 #7    17,701    (-2.3%)
10/1/2014    BTVS SEASON 10 #8    17,729    (+1.6%)
11/1/2014    BTVS SEASON 10 #9    17,067    (-3.7%)
12/1/2014    BTVS SEASON 10 #10    16,448    (-3.6%)

Some minor attrition.

155.) Escape from New York #1 (Boom! Studios)
12/1/2014    ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK #1    $3.99    BOO    15,450

I love that this is the SECOND Kurt Russell property that Boom! Studios has recently put out. I, and fifteen thousand other members of society, have been waiting a long time for this.

158.) TMNT Ghosbusters #3 (IDW)
10/1/2014    TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #1 21,223   
11/1/2014    TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #2    16,624    (-21.7%)
12/1/2014    TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #3    15,264    (-8.2%)

Minor third-issue drop. Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening continue to masterfully capture the tone of both franchises, providing laughs and warm fuzzies to all who read this series.

159.) My Little Pony: Friends Forever #12 (IDW)
7/1/2014    MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDS FOREVER #7    19,850    (+9.5%)
8/1/2014    MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDS FOREVER #8    17,444    (-12%)

11/1/2014    MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDS FOREVER #11    15,630    (-5.8%)
12/1/2014    MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDS FOREVER #12    15,202    (-2.7%)

Minor attrition.

160.) TMNT Ongoing (IDW)
2/1/2014    TMNT ONGOING #31    $3.99    IDW    14,684    (-2.0%)

12/1/2014    TMNT ONGOING #41    $3.99    IDW    14,970    (+1.6%)

Some mostly minor ups and downs have this series going relatively steady for the last ten issues. Turtle Power!

166.) Birthright #3 (Image)
10/1/2014    BIRTHRIGHT #1     $2.99    IMA    27,234   
11/1/2014    BIRTHRIGHT #2    $2.99    IMA    18,484    (-32.1%)
12/1/2014    BIRTHRIGHT #3    $2.99    IMA    14,247    (-22.9%)

This title still hasn’t found it’s happy place.

163 & 169.) Doctor Who 11th #6 & #5 (Titan)
8/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 11TH #1    41,068   
9/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 11TH #2    15,947    (-61.2)

12/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 11TH #6     14,538    (+7.9%)

An increase in both issues released this month. Color me impressed!

167.) Doctor Who 12th #3 (Titan)
 
10/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 12TH #1    33,891   
11/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 12TH #2     15,277    (-54.9%)
12/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 12TH #3     14,144    (-7.4%)

Much smaller drop this month, a smidgen below the 11th Doctor on this same issue.

168.) Doctor Who 10th #5 (Titan)
7/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 10TH #1    39,707   
8/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 10TH #2    10,410    (-73.8%)

11/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 10TH #4     14,296    (-2.1%)
12/1/2014    DOCTOR WHO 10TH #5     13,743    (-3.9%)

Minor drop. If we’re going strictly by comic readers, the 11th Doctor is the crowd favorite.

171.) Alien vs. Predator Fire and Stone #3 (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014    ALIEN VS PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #1     20,319   
11/1/2014    ALIEN VS PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #2    13,942    (-31.4%)
12/1/2014    ALIEN VS PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #3    13,261    (-4.9%)

Still selling solid for a mini series.

173.) Prometheus Fire and Stone #4 (Dark Horse)
9/1/2014    PROMETHEUS FIRE AND STONE #1    19,468   
10/1/2014    PROMETHEUS FIRE AND STONE #2    14,407    (-24.8%)
11/1/2014    PROMETHEUS FIRE AND STONE #3    13,624    (-5.4%)
12/1/2014    PROMETHEUS FIRE AND STONE #4    13,237    (-2.8%)

Finishing strong before the conclusion in Prometheus: Omega.

177.) Aliens Fire and Stone #4 (Dark Horse)
9/1/2013    ALIENS FIRE AND STONE #1    19,878   
10/1/2014    ALIENS FIRE AND STONE #2    14,240    (-28.4%)
11/1/2014    ALIENS FIRE AND STONE #3    13,357    (-6.2%)
12/1/2014    ALIENS FIRE AND STONE #4    12,735    (-4.7%)

Minor drop.

182. Predator Fire and Stone (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014    PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #1 [*]    17,166   
11/1/2014    PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #2    12,695    (-26.0%)
12/1/2014    PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #3    12,128    (-4.5%)

Predator Fire and Stone may be trailing behind the other Fire and Stone series, but it’s still holding its own.

 175.) Manifest Destiny (Image)
6/1/2014    MANIFEST DESTINY #7    21,500    (+44.8%)
7/1/2014    MANIFEST DESTINY #8    15,060    (-29.9%)
8/1/2014    MANIFEST DESTINY #9    14,672    (-2.6%)
9/1/2014    MANIFEST DESTINY #10    14,312    (-2.4%)
10/1/2014    MANIFEST DESTINY #11    13,620    (-4.8%)
12/1/2014    MANIFEST DESTINY #12 12,987    (-4.6%)

Some standard attrition for the last few issues.

178.) Crossed Plus 100 #1 (Avatar)
12/1/2014    CROSSED PLUS 100 #1    12,666

I expected Alan Moore to attract more readers for this debut.

180.) Shaft #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
12/1/2014    SHAFT #1 (MR)    12,430

A standard second issue drop should see this falling below the 10k mark by the second or third issue.

183.) Spawn #249 (Image)
7/1/2014    Spawn #245    12,090    (+2.1%)
8/1/2014    Spawn #246    13,343    (+10.4%)
10/1/2014    SPAWN #247    12,023    (-9.9%)
11/1/2014    SPAWN #248    11,934    (-0.7%)
12/1/2014    SPAWN #249    12,121    (+1.6%)

Slight increase this month sees Spawn holding steady.

184.) Nailbiter #8 (Image)
5/1/2014    NAILBITER #1 (MR)    22,746   
6/1/2014    NAILBITER #2 (MR)    15,193    (-33.2%)
7/1/2014    NAILBITER #3 (MR)    16,581    (+9.1%)

12/1/2014    NAILBITER #8 (MR)    12,096    (-2.1%)

Minor drop this month.

187 & 192.) Adventure Time #34 & #35 (Boom!)
7/1/2014    ADVENTURE TIME #30    14,487    (+5.1%)
8/1/2014    ADVENTURE TIME #31    14,099    (-2.7%)

12/1/2014    ADVENTURE TIME #34    11,442    (-4.1%)
12/1/2014    ADVENTURE TIME #35    11,138    (-2.7%)

Some attrition following a large drop in October.

191.) Copperhead #4 (Image)
9/1/2014    COPPERHEAD #1    24,272   
10/1/2014    COPPERHEAD #2    17,250    (-28.9%)
11/1/2014    COPPERHEAD #3    12,079    (-30.0%)
12/1/2014    COPPERHEAD #4    11,241    (-6.9%)

A smaller drop this month hopefully means the numbers will hold steadier for next.

193.) Django Zorro #2 (Dynamite Entertainment)
11/1/2014    DJANGO ZORRO #1    15,468   
12/1/2014    DJANGO ZORRO #2    11,001    (-28.9%)

The drop falls within the average second-drop range, though it is on the higher end.

194.) Garbage Pail Kids #1 (IDW)
12/1/2014    GARBAGE PAIL KIDS COMIC BOOK PUKETACULAR #1    10,996

I personally think some fads should stay in their decade, but ten thousand readers proved me wrong this month.

195.) Angel and Faith Season 10 #9 (Dark Horse)
8/1/2014    ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #5    11,957    (-4.1%)
9/1/2014    ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #6     11,593    (-3.5%)
10/1/2014    ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #7    11,457    (-1.2%)
11/1/2014    ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #8    11,129    (-2.9%)
12/1/2014    ANGEL AND FAITH SEASON 10 #9    10,946    (-1.6%)

If this series was a surgeon, I feel like it would have steady enough hands to operate on me.

196.) Army of Darkness Vol. 4 #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
12/1/2014    ARMY OF DARKNESS VOL 4 #1    10,814

Army of Darkness:Hitched debuted to similar numbers, and I expect it drop find its niche around the 5k mark.

199.) Shutter #7 (Image)
4/1/2014    SHUTTER #1 (MR)    18,984   
5/1/2014    SHUTTER #2 (MR)    12,267    (-35.4%)
6/1/2014    SHUTTER #3 (MR)    9,887    (-19.4%)
7/1/2014    SHUTTER #4 (MR)    9,107    (-7.9%)
8/1/2014    SHUTTER #5 (MR) 8,140    (-10.6%)
9/1/2014    SHUTTER #6 (MR)    7,499    (-7.9%)
12/1/2014    SHUTTER #7 (MR)    10,669    (+42.2%)

A huge spike in readers this month as Shutter begins its second story arc. I’m a huge fan of this series…and it’s not just because the main character and I share the same first name.

200.) Big Trouble in Little China #7 (Boom!)
6/1/2014    BTiLC #1    $3.99    BOO    24,160    --
7/1/2014    BTiLC #2    $3.99    BOO    14,838    (-38.6%)
8/1/2014    BTiLC #3    $3.99    BOO    14,076    (-5.1%)
9/1/2014    BTiLC #4    $3.99    BOO    13,370    (-5.0%)
10/1/2014   BTiLC #5    $3.99    BOO    12,598    (-5.8%)
11/1/2014   BTiLC #6    $3.99    BOO    11,483    (-8.9%)
12/1/2014   BTiLC #7    $3.99    BOO    10,482    (-8.7%)

Another steady drop for this title. I’m probably biased because of the number of Kurt Russel fans in my life, but I hope to see this stabilize soon.

201.) Drifter #2 (Image)
11/1/2014    DRIFTER #1 (MR)    $3.50    IMA    20,887   
12/1/2014    DRIFTER #2 (MR)    $3.50    IMA    10,443    (-50.0%)

An abnormally large second issue drop for indie comics.

202.) Chew #45 (Image)
2/1/2014    CHEW #40 (MR)    11,193    (-2.6%)
4/1/2014    CHEW #41 (MR)    10,835    (-3.2%)
6/1/2014    CHEW #42 (MR)    10,981    (-1.3%)
9/1/2014    CHEW #43 (MR)    10,777    (-1.9%)
11/1/2014   CHEW #44 (MR)    10,526    (-2.3%)
12/1/2014   CHEW #45 (MR)    10,407    (-1.1%)

Minor attrition at play for one of Image’s long running comics, even with a slight increase in cover price this month.

203.) Graveyard Shift #1 (Image)
12/1/2014    GRAVEYARD SHIFT #1    10,388
205.) Wayward #5 (Image)
8/1/2014    WAYWARD #1 (MR)    29,240   
9/1/2014    WAYWARD #2 (MR)    15,053    (-48.5%)
10/1/2014    WAYWARD #3 (MR)    10,795    (-28.3%)
11/1/2014    WAYWARD #4 (MR)    10,318    (-2.3%)
12/1/2014    WAYWARD #5 (MR)    10,009    (-3.0%)

Minor attrition this month. While it might drop below 10k with the next issue, this comic definitely has a solid fanbase.

206.) Ragnarok #3 (IDW)
7/1/2014    RAGNAROK #1    15,598   
10/1/2014    RAGNAROK #2     12,941    (-17.0%)
12/1/2014    RAGNAROK #3     9,940    (-23.2%)

Ragnarok (the end) may come for this title if the numbers continue dropping like this. Pray to the gods (the Norse ones) that this doesn’t happen!

 207.) Star Trek Ongoing #39 (IDW)
6/1/2014    STAR TREK ONGOING #34    10,216    (+4.8%)
7/1/2014    STAR TREK ONGOING #35    10,089    (-1.2%)
8/1/2014    STAR TREK ONGOING #36    10,017    (-0.7%)
9/1/2014    STAR TREK ONGOING #37    9,893    (-1.2%)
11/1/2014    STAR TREK ONGOING #38    10,150    (+2.6%)
12/1/2014    STAR TREK ONGOING #39    9,931    (-2.2%)

Up last month, down this one.

209.) George Perez's Sirens (Boom!)
9/1/2014    GEORGE PEREZ SIRENS #1    24,900   
12/1/2014    GEORGE PEREZ SIRENS #2    9,837    (-60.5%)

A rather large second issue drop. It looked fascinating when it came to my attention, so the drop is surprising.

210.) Supreme Blue Rose #5 (Image)
7/1/2014    SUPREME BLUE ROSE #1 (Mr)    26,100    --
8/1/2014    SUPREME BLUE ROSE #2 (Mr)    16,268    (-37.7%)
9/1/2014    SUPREME BLUE ROSE #3 (Mr)    13,603    (-16.38%)
10/1/2014    SUPREME BLUE ROSE #4 (MR)    12,147    (-10.7%)
12/1/2014    SUPREME BLUE ROSE #5 (MR)    9,783    (-19.5%)

Another steep drop for Supreme Blue Rose.

 211.) Rasputin #3 (Image)
10/1/2014    RASPUTIN #1 (MR)    21,373   
11/1/2014    RASPUTIN #2 (MR)    11,693    (-45.3%)
12/1/2014    RASPUTIN #3 (MR)    9,775    (-16.4%)

The hits keep coming for Rasputin, which at least somewhat holds to historical accuracy.

 212.) Transformers More than Meets the Eye #36 (IDW)
11/1/2014    Transformers MTMTE #35     9,390    (-2.9%)
12/1/2014    Transformers MTMTE #36     9,159    (-2.5%)

Minor losses as More than Meets the Eye heads into a new story arc.

 213.) X-Files Season 10 #19 (IDW)
7/1/2014    X-fILES SEASON 10 #14    10,850    (-5.6%)
8/1/2014    X-FILES SEASON 10 #15    10,581    (-2.5%)
9/1/2014    X-FILES SEASON 10 #16    10,067    (-4.9%)
10/1/2013   X-FILES SEASON 10 #17    9,865    (-2.0%)
11/1/2014   X-FILES SEASON 10 #18    9,915    (+0.5%)
12/1/2014   X-FILES SEASON 10 #19    9,121    (-8.0%)

Natural attrition for an unnatural book.

215.) Lady Demon #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
12/1/2014    LADY DEMON #1    9,016
217.) Lumberjanes #9 (Boom!)
4/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #1    13,129    --
5/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #2    9,904    (-24.6%)
6/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #3    9,150    (-7.6%)
7/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #4    9,988    (+9.2%)
9/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #5    10,099    (+1.1%)
9/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #6    10,029    (-0.7%)
10/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #7    9,999    (-.3%)
11/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #8    9,543    (-4.6%)
12/1/2014    LUMBERJANES #9    8,917    (-6.6%)

Another drop, but this issue of Lumberjanes followed a spectacular finale to the first story arc, and gave readers some truly spooky storytelling.

218.) John Carter Warlord #2 (Dynamite Entertainment)
135    11/1/2014    JOHN CARTER WARLORD #1    15,930   
218    12/1/2014    JOHN CARTER WARLORD #2 8,858    (-44.4%)

Large second issue drop.

219.) Bobs Burgers #5 (Dynamite Entertainment)
8/1/2014    BOBS BURGERS #1    20,157   
9/1/2014    BOBS BURGERS #2    11,030    (-45.2%)
10/1/2014    BOBS BURGERS #3    9,571    (-13.2%)
11/1/2014    BOBS BURGERS #4    10,160    (+6.2%)
12/1/2014    BOBS BURGERS #5    8,829    (-13.1%)

The increase last month may have been a fluke, as we see a large decrease this month.

220.) Revival #26 (Image)
5/1/2014    REVIVAL #20 (MR)    10,341    (-0.4%)
6/1/2014    REVIVAL #21 (MR)    9,808    (-5.2%)
7/1/2014    REVIVAL #22 (MR)    9,931    (-1.9%)
8/1/2014    REVIVAL #23 (MR)    9,425    (-5.9%)
10/1/2014    REVIVAL #24 (MR)    9,019    (-4.7%)
11/1/2014    REVIVAL #25 (MR)    9,535    (+5.7%)
12/1/2014    REVIVAL #26 (MR)    8,696    (-8.8%)

Sad to see another drop after last month’s bump, and not just because I really wanted to make more revival jokes.

221.) Alex + Ada #11 (Image)
5/1/2014    ALEX + ADA #6    9,869    (+1.1%)
6/1/2014    ALEX + ADA #7    9,579    (-2.9%)
8/1/2014    ALEX + ADA #8    9,453    (-1.3%)
10/1/2014    ALEX + ADA #9    9,370    (-0.9%)
11/1/2014    ALEX + ADA #10    8,946    (-4.5%)
12/1/2014    ALEX + ADA #11    8,619    (-3.7%)

Some natural attrition for Alex and Ada. The trope of “teaching a robot to love” may be a niche audience, but I am still a huge fan of this title.

222.) Sonic the Hedgehog #267 (Archie Comics)
10/1/2014    SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #265    8,869    (-1.7%)
11/1/2014    SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #266    8,822    (-0.5%)
12/1/2014    SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #267    8,608    (-2.4%)

Sonic continues to shake off minor attrition each month. He’s not afraid of anything as longs as he’s still got some rings.

225.) GI Joe (2014) #4 (IDW)
9/1/2014    GI JOE (2014) #1    6,848   
10/1/2014    GI JOE (2014) #2    9,708    (-42.4%)
11/1/2014    GI JOE (2014) #3     8,602    (-11.4%)
12/1/2014    GI JOE (2014) #4    8,282    (-3.7%)

A stabilizing drop this month for the GI Joe.

226.) Rai #5 (Valiant)
4/1/2014    RAI #1    29,137   
6/1/2014    RAI #2    13,448    (-53.8%)

8/1/2014    RAI #4    9,394    (-12.4%)
12/1/2014    RAI #5     8,280    (-11.9%)

Another fast drop for Rai this month. I hesitate to call it attrition while the losses are still over 10%

227.) Squarriors #1 (Devil's Due)
12/1/2014    SQUARRIORS #1 (MR)    8,276

The first issue of Squarriors was funded via Kickstarter, with a total of 420 backers. While 8k may seem like a low debut number, it’s almost twenty times the initial number of Kickstarter backers. Not so bad then.

228.) Sonic Boom #2 (Archie Comics)
10/1/2014    SONIC BOOM #1    17,228   
12/1/2014    SONIC BOOM #2    8,216    (-52.3)

Large second issue drop for Sonic Boom.

229.) Conan the Avenger #9 (Dark Horse)
8/1/2014    CONAN THE AVENGER #5    8,941    (-2.6%)

12/1/2014    CONAN THE AVENGER #9    8,105    (-1.8%)

Slow and steady attrition.

8/1/2014    GODZILLA CATACLYSM #1    11,868   
9/1/2014    GODZILLA CATACLYSM #2    8,859    (-25.4%)

12/1/2014    GODZILLA CATACLYSM #5    7,892    (-1.1%)

Minor losses this month.

7/1/2014    TOMB RAIDER #6    10,149    (-3.7%)
8/1/2014    TOMB RAIDER #7    9,429    (-7.1%)

11/1/2014    TOMB RAIDER #10    8,153    (-6.8%)
12/1/2014    TOMB RAIDER #11    7,730    (-5.25)

Attrition is a comic book’s worst enemy. If superheroes can’t fight it, why should Lara Croft be able to?

233.) Transformers: Drift - Empire of Stone #2 (IDW)
11/1/2014    TRANSFORMERS DRIFT EMPIRE OF STONE #1    9,246   
12/1/2014    TRANSFORMERS DRIFT EMPIRE OF STONE #2    7,729    (-16.4%)

A pretty minor second issue drop as far as these things go.

234.) BRPD Hell on Earth #126 (Dark Horse)
6/1/2014    BPRD HELL ON EARTH #120    8,127    (-2.2%)
7/2/2014    BPRD HELL ON EARTH #121    8,092    (-0.4%)

12/1/2014    BPRD HELL ON EARTH #126    7,535    (0.00%)

Minimal attrition, with readers staying ever faithful.

235.) Annihilator #5 (Random House)
9/1/2014    ANNIHILATOR #1    10,345    --
10/1/2014    ANNIHILATOR #2    6,482    (-37.3%)
11/1/2014    ANNIHILATOR #3    8,383    (+29.3%)
12/1/2014    ANNIHILATOR #4    7,519    (-10.3%)

The numbers have been up and down for Annihilator. We’ll look to next month’s numbers to establish a firmer trend.

238.) Intersect #2 (Image)
11/1/2014    INTERSECT #1 (MR)    18,292   
12/1/2014    INTERSECT #2 (MR)    7,437    (-59.3%)

A huge second issue drop for Intersect. I’m crossing my fingers in hopes that it will still be on next month’s charts.

239.) New Vampirella #7 (Dynamite Entertainment)
6/1/2014    NEW VAMPIRELLA #1    22,864   
7/1/2014    NEW VAMPIRELLA #2    9,445    (-58.7%)

12/1/2014    NEW VAMPIRELLA #7    7,417    (+0.5%)

A tiny upswing this month.

240.) X-O Manowar #31 (Valiant)
5/1/2014    X-O MANOWAR #25    12,493    (+45.4%)
6/1/2014    X-O MANOWAR #26    10,083    (-19.3%)

12/1/2014    X-O MANOWAR #31    7,398    (-11.4%)

A significant drop after a month of semi-stability.

241.) Cowl #7 (Image)
5/1/2014    COWL #1 (MR)    20,851    --
6/1/2014    COWL #2 (MR)    13,569    (-34.9%)

12/1/2014    COWL #7 (MR)    7,343    (-10.5%)

Another significant drop this month, with no signs of stopping.

244.) Humans #2 (Image)
11/1/2014    HUMANS #1 (MR)    17,274   
12/1/2014    HUMANS #2 (MR)    7,132    (-58.7%)

I officially dub Decemeber the month of the ridiculous second issue drops.

246.) God Hates Astronauts #4 (Image)
9/1/2014    GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #1 (MR)    16,689   
10/1/2014    GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #2 (MR)    10,178    (-39.0%)
11/1/2014    GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #3 (MR)    8,017    (-21.2%)
12/1/2014    GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS #4 (MR)    7,008    (-12.6%)

While God Hates Astronauts is still dropping a bit more than average for a fourth issue, the drops do show signs of slowing down.

247.) Sonic Universe #71 (Archie Comics)
10/1/2014    SONIC UNIVERSE #68    7,438    (-1.8%)
10/1/2014    SONIC UNIVERSE #69    7,378    (-0.8%)

12/1/2014    SONIC UNIVERSE #71    6,998    (-2.3%)

Attrition.

248.) Godzilla Rulers of the Earth #19 (IDW)
3/1/2014    GODZILLA RULERS OF THE EARTH #10    6,677    (+0.2%)

11/1/2014    GODZILLA RULERS OF THE EARTH #18    7,065    (-1.4%)
12/1/2014    GODZILLA RULERS OF THE EARTH #19    6,964    (-1.4%)

Some recent attrition, but the numbers are still slightly higher than they were just ten issues ago.

249.) Rachel Rising #30 (Abstract Studio)
4/1/2014    RACHEL RISING #25    7,378    --
6/1/2014    RACHEL RISING #26    7,260    (-1.6%)
8/1/2014    RACHEL RISING #27    7,319    (+.8%)
9/1/2014    RACHEL RISING #28    7,188    (-1.8%)
10/1/2014    RACHEL RISING #29    7,036    (-2.1%)
12/1/2014    RACHEL RISING #30    6,952    (-1.2%)

The losses for Rachel Rising are so minimal they’re almost not worth mentioning. Terry Moore’s masterpiece continues to have a cult following.

250.) War Stories #3 (Avatar Press)
10/1/2014    WAR STORIES #1 (MR)    9,487   
10/1/2014    WAR STORIES #2 (MR)    6,723    (-29.1%)
12/1/2014    WAR STORIES #3 (MR)    6,865    (+2.1%)

A third issue gain isn’t unheard of, but it is still applaud worthy.

251.) Bee and Puppycat #7 (Boom!)
5/1/2014    BEE AND PUPPYCAT #1    12,204    --
6/1/2014    BEE AND PUPPYCAT #2    7,557    (-38.1%)
8/1/2014    BEE AND PUPPYCAT #3    8,031    (+6.3%)

12/1/2014    BEE AND PUPPYCAT #7    6,801    (-3.6%)

Continued attrition won’t stop my love of this title.

252.) Savage Dragon #200 (Image)
6/1/2013    Savage Dragon #181    4,556    (-0.8%)
10/1/2013    Savage Dragon #182    ????    ????

10/1/2013    SAVAGE DRAGON #199    ????    ????
12/1/2014    SAVAGE DRAGON #200    6,798    ????

We haven’t exactly had solid numbers on Savage Dragon for some time. That said, the 200th issue managed to get the book back on the board, in spite of a $8.99 price tag.

253.) Goon Occasion of Revenge #4 (Dark Horse)
7/1/2014    GOON OCCASION OF REVENGE #1    9,736

12/1/2014    GOON OCCASION OF REVENGE #4    6,794    (-8.6%)

Just above average drop this month for Goon.

254.) Simpsons Comics #216 (Bongo)
3/1/2014    SIMPSONS COMICS #210    6,334    (-2.7%)
4/1/2014    SIMPSONS COMICS #211    6,390    (+0.9%)
6/1/2014    SIMPSONS COMICS #212    6,619    (-3.6%)
7/1/2014    SIMPSONS COMICS #213    ????    ----

12/1/2014    SIMPSONS COMICS #216    6,758    (-0.8%)

Negligible attrition.

257.) Justice Inc. #5 (Dynamite Entertainment)
8/1/2014    JUSTICE INC #1    12,020   
9/1/2014    JUSTICE INC#2    8,651    (-28.0%)

12/1/2014    JUSTICE INC #5    6,660    (-5.6%)

Edging ever nearer stabilization.

258.) Abe Sapien #18 (Dark Horse)
 
2/1/2014    ABE SAPIEN #10    7,995    (-6.1%)
3/1/2014    ABE SAPIEN #11    7,825    (-2.1%)

12/1/2014    ABE SAPIEN #18    6,652    (-4.9%)

Continued attrition makes this the poorest selling Hellboy adjacent title on the list.

259.) Mega Man #44 (Archie Comics)
8/1/2014    MEGA MAN #40    6,924    (-4.7%)
10/1/2014    MEGA MAN #41    6,899    (-0.4%)

12/1/2014    MEGA MAN #44    6,531    (-3.5%)

Mega Man continues to be very content in the 6k range.

260.) October Faction #3 (IDW)
10/1/2014    OCTOBER FACTION #1 [*]    9,181   
11/1/2014    OCTOBER FACTION #2 [*]    7,174    (-21.9%)
12/1/2014    OCTOBER FACTION #3 [*]    6,445    (-10.1%)

If the decreases slow down for the fourth issue – like many do – then we should see this on the board again next month.

261.) Shadow Show #2 (IDW)
11/1/2014    SHADOW SHOW #1    8,634   
12/1/2014    SHADOW SHOW #2    6,412    (-25.7%)

Standard second issue drop.

263.) GI Joe a Real American Hero #209 (IDW)
9/1/2014    GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #204    7,651    (+16.6%)

11/1/2014    GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #208    7,810    (+20.3%)
12/1/2014    GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO #209    6,344    (-18.8%)

There’s been some flip-flopping back and forth for the previous few issues. Ideally next month we’ll learn whether it’s trending up or down.

264.) Vampirella Feary Tales #3 (Dynamite Entertainment)
10/1/2014    VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #1    10,571   
11/1/2014    VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #2    6,607    (-37.5%)
12/1/2014    VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #3    6,341    (-4.0%)

If the drops continue to be this small next month, I’ll officially commit to Feary Tales finding it’s niche.

265.) Little Nemo Return to Slumberland #3 (IDW)
8/1/2014    LITTLE NEMO RETURN TO SLUMBERLAND #1 [*]    11,883   
10/1/2014    LITTLE NEMO RETURN TO SLUMBERLAND #2 [*]    8,130    (-31.6%)

12/1/2014    UBER #20 (MR)    6,303    (-2.1%)

Each month brings minor losses to Uber. From what I’ve heard about the book, these casualties might mirror the violence within the pages.

267.) Harbinger Faith #0 (Valiant)
12/1/2014    HARBINGER FAITH #0    6,170

I won’t lie, it’s not usually good to see a first issue so far down this list. However, there are occasionally increases after a zero issue, so we won’t say farewell yet.

268.) Adventure Time Banana Guard Academy #6 (Boom!)
7/1/2014    ADV TIME BGA #1    $3.99    BOO    10,402

12/1/2014   ADV TIME BTG #6    $3.99    BOO    6,148    (-5.6%)

The Banana Guard is definitely the black sheep of the Adventure Time family, but it seems to be stabilizing at least.

269.) Game of Thrones #23 (Dynamite Entertainment)
3/1/2014    GAME OF THRONES #19 (MR)    7,043    (-6.3%)
4/1/2014    GAME OF THRONES #20 (MR)    6,938    (-1.5%)

12/1/2014    GAME OF THRONES #23 (MR)    6,120    (-8.6%)

Perhaps readership will increase with the advent of the next television season.

270.) TMNT New Animated Adventures #18 (IDW)
4/1/2014    TMNT NEW ANIMATED ADVENTURES #10    5,911    (-1.6%)
5/1/2014    TMNT NEW ANIMATED ADVENTURES #11    6,075    (+2.8%)

12/1/2014    TMNT NEW ANIMATED ADVENTURES #18    6,084    (-2.1%)

Minor drop this month, although a bump up could happen at anytime it seems.

271.) Woods #8 (Boom!)
5/1/2014    WOODS #1    13,916    --
6/1/2014    WOODS #2    9,352    (-32.8%)
7/1/2014    WOODS #3    8,852    (-5.3%)

12/1/2014    WOODS #8    6,067    (-7.4%)

At this point a seven percent drop just seems standard.

272.) Unity #13 (Valiant)
3/1/2014    UNITY #5    12,268    (+15.3%)
4/1/2014    UNITY #6    9,351    (-23.8%)

12/1/2014    UNITY #13    6,066    (-6.8%)

One of the smallest losses the title has taken yet!

273.) Abigail and the Snowman #1 (Boom!)
12/1/2014    ABIGAIL AND THE SNOWMAN #1    6,050

Comics targeting children that aren’t based on previous intellectual property are always a hard sale. That doesn’t stop Abgail and the Snowman from being an adorable series.

274.) Samurai Jack #15 (IDW)
7/1/2014    SAMURAI JACK #10    6,741    (-20.4%)
8/1/2014    SAMURAI JACK #11    7,489    (+11.1%)

12/1/2014    SAMURAI JACK #15    6,023    (-3.6%)

Some attrition in the last few months.

275.) Spongebob Comics #39 (Universal)
8/1/2014    SPONGEBOB COMICS #35        6,491    ????
9/1/2014    SPONGEBOB COMICS #36        6,405    (-1.3%)

Minuscule attrition.

276.) Sons of Anarchy #16 (Boom!)
6/1/2014    SONS OF ANARCHY #10 (MR)    7,875    (-7.7%)
7/1/2014    SONS OF ANARCHY #11 (MR)    7,394    (-5.9%)

12/1/2014    SONS OF ANARCHY #16 (MR)    5,930    (-5.4%)

If the trend continues, this title may soon drop off the top 300 list.

278.) Skylanders #3 (IDW)
10/1/2014    SKYLANDERS #1 [*]    12,361   
11/1/2014    SKYLANDERS #2 [*]    7,665    (-38.0%)
12/1/2014    SKYLANDERS #3 [*]    5,882    (-23.2%)

Skylanders as a franchise already sees children clamoring for more. If it came down to a decision between a new Skylanders figure and a Skylanders comic, I’d probably choose the toy. That said, my friend reads these to her 2nd grade classroom and they adore each issue.

279.) God id Dead #25 (Avatar)
6/1/2014    GOD IS DEAD #15 (MR)    8,262    (-1.3%)

11/1/2014    GOD IS DEAD #24 (MR)    5,902    (-8.6%)
12/1/2014    GOD IS DEAD #25 (MR)    5,874    (-0.5%)

The readers held faithful this month as Avatar Press launched an over-sized edition to celebrate the title’s 25th issue. The $5.99 price tag may have scared off the new readers the comic hoped to attract with a new jumping on point.

280.) Eternal Warrior Days of Steel #2 (Valiant)
11/1/2014    ETERNAL WARRIOR DAYS OF STEEL #1     6,785   
12/1/2014    ETERNAL WARRIOR DAYS OF STEEL #2    5,760    (-15.1%)

A lower than average second issue drop.

281.) Twilight Zone #10 (Dynamite Entertainment)
12/1/2013    Twilight Zone #1    21,723   
2/1/2014    Twilight Zone #2    11,537    (-46.9%)

10/1/2014    Twilight Zone #9    ????    ????
12/1/2014    Twilight Zone #10    5,680    ????

Back on the board after a month away.

282.) Flash Gordon #10 (Dynamite Entertainment)
4/1/2014    FLASH GORDON #1    $3.99    DE    14,398   
5/1/2014    FLASH GORDON #2    $3.99    DE    8,255    (-42.7%)

12/1/2014    FLASH GORDON #7    $3.99    DE    5,658    (-9.6%)

Another drop like this might see Flash Gordon drop off the charts.

283.) BSG Death of Apollo #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
12/1/2014    BSG DEATH OF APOLLO #1    5,626

I want to know what this debut says about fan feelings towards Apollo.

284.) Massive #30 (Dark Horse)
6/1/2012    Massive #1    22,173   
7/1/2012    Massive #2    16,600    (-25.1%)

In honor of the end of the Massive, here’s all the numbers we have on the series from start to finish.

285.) Dungeons & Dragons Legends of Baldur's Gate (IDW)
10/1/2014    D&D LEGENDS OF BALDURS GATE #1     9,341

12/1/2014    D&D LEGENDS OF BALDURS GATE #3     5,563    (-27.2%)

Such a large third issue drop does not bode well for this title, sadly.

288.) Fairy Quest Outcasts #2 (Boom!)
11/1/2014    FAIRY QUEST OUTCASTS #1    8,958   
12/1/2014    FAIRY QUEST OUTCASTS #2    5,389    (-39.8%)

Another above average second issue drop.

12/1/2014    SINERGY #2    5,309    (-43.4%)

Even without all the numbers, it’s clear that they keep dropping.

A steep loss this month, but the title was relatively stable for most of 2014.

294.) GFT Grimm Fairy Tales #105 (Zenescope)
7/1/2014    GFT GRIMM FAIRY TALES #100 (MR)    11,722    (+56.9%)

12/1/2014    GFT GRIMM FAIRY TALES #105 (MR)    5,166    (-3.3%)

Still going somewhat steady after a hundred issues. An accomplishment that very few indie titles can boast!

12/1/2014    Q2 RTN QUANTUM & WOODY #3    5,073    (-12.6%)

This may be the title’s last time on the chart, but I hope we see it back again.

4049162 wytches2coverhi Indie Month to Month Sales November 2014: Image Rising

By Kate Reynolds

November saw a slew of new titles from Image with some pretty serious sales, most notably ODY-C from Matt Fraction and Tooth & Claw from Kurt Busiek. Wytches, the new Scott Snyder title from Image continues. It was also a good month for Dark Horse as the “Fire and Stone” event keeps chugging along.

Marvel and DC have finally stopped having major events, so we are back this month with almost 140 indie titles for you. Overall indie title sales were down 23.3% at 1,488,193 comparedto last month’s 1,939571. for an average sale of 10,706.

Image is still number one with an 10.2% dollar share and a 11.06% market share. They had 7 of the top 100 books overall. IDW came in at second place with a 5.65% dollar share and a 4.53% market share. Next, Dark Horse had a 4.85% dollar share and a 3.58% market share, Dynamite has a 2.84% dollar share and a 2.54% market share, while Boom! has a 2.73% dollar share and a 2.68% market share.

UK and European sales from Diamond UK are not reported in this chart.

14. Walking Dead #134 (Image)

8/1/2014:  Walking Dead #130 - $71,885 (-1.4%)
9/1/2014:  Walking Dead #131 - 69,810 (-2.95)
10/1/2014:Walking Dead #132 - 326,334 (+367.5)
10/1/2014: Walking Dead #133 - 69,561 (-78.7%)
11/1/2014: Walking Dead #134 - 68,093 (-2.1%)

Slight drop, but still holding steady in the upper sixty thousand range. It doesn’t looks like this is going anywhere anytime soon.

19. Wytches #2 (Image)
10/1/2014: WYTCHES #1 - 67,996
11/1/2014: WYTCHES #2 - 58,345 (-14.2%)

Snyder’s new book at Image appears to be a smashing success, with a negligible drop between the first and second issues of the series. Can’t wait for more!

36. ODY-C #1 (Image)
11/1/2014: ODYC #1 - 47,414

Yet another solid start to Matt Fraction’s futuristic re-telling of The Odyssey . It’s gender-bending psychedelic fun.

45. Tooth & Claw (Image)
11/1/2014: TOOTH & CLAW #1 - 41,181

Haven’t had the pleasure of reading this book yet, but surely 40,000 people can’t be wrong? It’s already getting a second printing, and due to some copyright issues, a new title.

47. Outcast #5 (Image)
6/1/2014: Outcast #1 - 71,788	
7/1/2014: Outcast #2 - 55,126 (-23.2%)
8/1/2014: Outcast #3 - 46,717 (-15.2%)
9/1/2014: Outcast #4 - 45,401 (-2.8%)
11/1/2014:Outcast #5 - 39,967 (-12.0%)

Looks like it might stabilize in the 30k range. Needless to say Kirkman and Azaceta are bringing plenty of readers.

90. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #25 (IDW)
5/1/2014: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #19 - 22,820 (-12.5%)
6/1/2014: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #20 - 20,711 (-9.2%)
7/1/2014: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #21 - 20,871 (+0.8%)
8/1/2014: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #22 - 21,642 (+3.7%)
9/1/2014: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic #23 - 19,491 (-9.9%)
10/1/2014:My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #24 - 20,762 (+6.5%)
11/1/2014:My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #25 - 26,619 (+28.2%)

Slight upswing last month for the ponies.

98.Fade Out (Image)
8/1/2014:  FADE OUT #1 - 34,447	
10/1/2014: FADE OUT #2 - 27,797 (-19.3%)
11/1/2014: FADE OUT #3 - 24,584 (-11.6%)

If Fade Out follows the trend from Phillips and Brubaker’s previous series Fatale, it should level out in the high teens soon. Looks like they have another mid-range hit on their hands.

109. Drifter #1 (Image)
11/1/2014: DRIFTER #1 - 20,887

November saw several new titles from Image, and this piece of mind-bending science fiction has pulled in a respectable amount of readers.

116. Trees (Image)
5/1/2014: Trees #1 - 31,926    --
6/1/2014: Trees #2 - 25,515 (-20.1%)
7/1/2014: Trees #3 - 23,822 (-6.6%)
8/1/2014: Trees #4 - 23,639 (-0.8%)
9/1/2014: Trees #5 - 22,244 (-5.9%)
10/1/2014: Trees #6 - 20,720 (-6.9%)
11/1/2014: Trees #7 - 19,287 (-6.9%)

Slight drop for this title, but considering how many “Best Comics of 2014″ lists I’ve seen it on, I wouldn’t be worried.

119. Birthright #2 (Image) 
10/1/2014: BIRTHRIGHT #1 - 27,234	
11/1/2014: BIRTHRIGHT #2 - 18,484 (-32.1%)

This is a healthy second issue drop that could lead to stabilization in the lower teens.

121. Intersect #1 (Image)
11/1/2014: INTERSECT #1 - 18,292

Not a bad debut for Ray Fawkes’s new series of doom and madness.

125. The Humans #1 (Image) 
11/1/2014: HUMANS #1 - 17,274.

Whether it’s the public’s obsessions with apes or nostalgia for the 70’s exploitation genre, Tom Neely and Keenan Marshall Keller has certainly captured the attention of a nice chunk of readers.

127. BTVS Season 10 #9 (Dark Horse)
6/1/2014: Btvs Season 10 #4 - 19,365 (-5.8%)
7/1/2014: Btvs Season 10 #5 - 18,827 (-2.8%)
8/1/2014: Btvs Season 10 #6 - 18,121 (-3.7%)
9/1/2014: Btvs Season 10 #7 - 17,701 (-2.3%)
10/1/2014: BTVS Season 10 #8 - 17,729 (+1.6%)
11/1/2014: BTVS Season10 #9 - 17,067 (-3.7%)

Let’s face it, despite a little dip last month, Buffy is still slaying it.

128. Velvet #8 (Image)
10/1/2013: Velvet #1 - 41,897	--
12/1/2013: Velvet #2 - 25,549 (-39.0%)
1/1/2014:  Velvet #3 - 23,177 (-9.3%)
3/1/2014:  Velvet #4 - 21,412 (-7.6%)
5/1/2014:  Velvet #5 - 20,258 (-5.4%)
7/1/2014:  Velvet #6 - 18,775 (-7.3%)
9/1/2014:  Velvet #7 - 17,901 (-4.7%)
11/1/2014: Velvet #8 - 17,035 (-4.8%)

A slight drop as we hit the middle of the second story-arc, but the titular silver-streaked agent still commands attention.

132. TMNT Ghostbusters #2 (IDW)
10/1/2014: TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #1 - 21,223	
11/1/2014: TMNT GHOSTBUSTERS #2	- 16,624 (-21.7%)

This comic manages to capture the essence of each franchise and flawlessly blends them together. With a healthy second issue drop, this mini-series is mirroring the strong sales of the TMNT ongoing.

134. Lazarus #13 (Image)
4/1/2014:  Lazarus #8  - 19,826	(-1.6%)
7/1/2014:  Lazarus #9  - 19,066	(-3.8%)
8/1/2014:  Lazarus #10 - 18,051	(-5.3%)
9/1/2014:  Lazarus #11 - 16,531	(-8.4%)
10/1/2014: Lazarus #12 - 16,838	(+1.9%)
11/1/2014: Lazarus #13 - 16,094	(-4.4%)

There’s a slight slump coming into the second arc of Greg Rucka and Michael Lark’s post-apocalyptic series. However, there should be more excitement coming up if Forever Carlyle completes her current mission as ordered.

135. John Carter Warlord #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
11/1/2014: JOHN CARTER WARLORD #1 - 15,930

I’m always pleased to see Edgar Rice Burroughs’s legacy continuing on – especially with such sturdy numbers for the Warlord’s new series. This is also one of the strongest debuts a Dynamite title has seen recently.

139. My Little Pony Friends Forever #11 (IDW)
7/1/2014:  My Little Pony Friends Forever #7  - 19,850	(+9.5%)
8/1/2014:  My Little Pony Friends Forever #8  - 17,444	(-12%)
9/1/2014:  My Little Pony Friends Forever #9  - 16,803	(-3.7%)
10/1/2014: My Little Pony Friends Forever #10 - 16,587	(-1.3%)
11/1/2014: MYy Little Pony Friends Forever #11 - 15,630	(-5.8%)

Not even friends are strong enough to fight off the standard attrition of ongoing series.

143. Django Zorro #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) 
11/1/2014: DJANGO ZORRO #1 - 15,468

First of all, you did read the title right. It’s a serious team-up between Django and Zorro, partially written by Quentin Tarantino himself. Secondly, knowing that, I’m surprised that it had fewer readers than John Carter.

144. Doctor Who 12th #2 (Titan) 
10/1/2014: DOCTOR WHO 12TH #1 - 33,891	
11/1/2014: DOCTOR WHO 12TH #2 - 15,277 (-54.9%)

A rather large first drop for the second issue. Only the Doctor himself could tell us where it will go from here.

146. TMNT Ongoing (IDW)
6/1/2014:  TMNT Ongoing #35 - 15,174	(-13.0%)
7/1/2014:  TMNT Ongoing #36 - 15,415	(+1.6%)
8/1/2014:  TMNT Ongoing #37 - 15,470	(+0.4%)
10/1/2014: TMNT Ongoing #38 - 15,498	(+0.2%)
10/1/2014: TMNT Ongoing #39 - 15,235	(-1.7%)
11/1/2014: TMNT Ongoing #40 - 14,734	(-3.3%)

A slight dip for the Turtles this month, still sales are very steady.

148. MPH #4 (Image)
5/1/2014: Mph #1  - 35,632	--
6/1/2014: Mph #2  - 21,937	(-38.4%)
9/1/2014: Mph #3  - 16,881	(-23.04%) 
11/1/2014: MPH #4 - 14,657	(-13.2%)

Only one issue left of Millar and Dan Fegredo’s book.

149. Doctor Who 10th #4 (Titan)
7/1/2014:  Doctor Who 10th #1 - 39,707	
8/1/2014:  Doctor Who 10th #2 - 10,410	(-73.8%)
10/1/2014: Doctor Who 10th #3 - 14,608	(+40.30%)
11/1/2014: Doctor Who 10th #4 - 14,296	(-2.1%)

Like the Doctor himself, this title has been all over the place in terms of sales. This month sees a tiny drop in numbers, but some much needed stabilization.

152. Deadly Class #9 (Image)
4/1/2014:  Deadly Class #4 - 17,855	(-3.7%)
5/1/2014:  Deadly Class #5 - 17,099	(-4.2%)
6/1/2014:  Deadly Class #6 - 16,305	(-4.6%)
9/1/2014:  Deadly Class #7 - 14,834	(-9.0%)
10/1/2014: Deadly Class  #8 - 15,003	(+1.1%)
11/1/2014: Deadly Class #9 - 14,148	(-6.7%)

This is my favorite book that Remender has out right now – which is helped by the art of Wes Craig and Lee Loughridge. Regardless, a slight drop this month for Deadly Class.

154. Alien vs. Predator Fire and Stone #2 (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014: ALIEN VS PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #1 - 20,319	
11/1/2014: ALIEN VS PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #2 - 13,942	(-31.4%)

A normal second issue drop. Not normal – how seriously amazing the Fire and Stone event has been so far.

155. Prometheus Fire and Stone #3 (Dark Horse)
9/1/2014:  Prometheus Fire And Stone #1 - 19,468	
10/1/2014: Prometheus Fire and Stone #2	- 14,407 (-24.8%)
11/1/2014: Prometheus Fire and Stone #3	- 13,624 (-5.4%)

Still leveling.

159. Aliens Fire and Stone #3 (Dark Horse)
9/1/2013:  Aliens Fire and Stone #1 - 19,878	
10/1/2014: Aliens Fire and Stone #2 - 14,240 (-28.4%)
11/1/2014: Aliens Fire and Stone#3 - 13,357 (-6.2%)

Still leveling.

160. Spread #4 (Image)
7/1/2014:  Spread #1 - 21,150	
8/1/2014:  Spread #2 - 15,244	(-27.9%)
9/1/2014:  Spread #3 - 15,691	(+2.9%)
11/1/2014: Spread #4 - 13,288	(-15.3%)

A significant drop this month for Justin Jordan’s post-apocalyptic tale. Ideally the sales as the first story-arc concludes in the next two issues.

161. Invincible #115 (Image)
5/1/2014:  Invincible #111 - 18,440	(+46.8%)
6/1/2014:  Invincible #112 - 14,413	(-21.8%)
8/1/2014:  Invincible #113 - 13,642	(-5.3%)
9/1/2014:  Invincible #114 - 13,921	(+2.0%)
11/1/2014: Invincible #115 - 13,277	(-4.6%)

Sturdy numbers.

166. Transformers vs. GI Joe #4 (IDW)
7/1/2014:  Transformers Vs GI Joe #1 - 23,009	
8/1/2014:  Transformers Vs GI Joe #2 - 15,472	(-32.8%)
10/1/2014: Transformers Vs GI Joe #3 - 14,293	(-7.6%)
11/1/2014: Transformers Vs GI Joe #4 - 12,733	(-10.9%)

I’ve yet to actually read a Transformers vs. GI Joe comic, mainly because I get too enamored with the art. A drop this month, but it’s still selling better than either ongoing Transformers or GI Joe title.

167. Predator Fire and Stone #2 (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014: PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #1 - 17,166	
11/1/2014: PREDATOR FIRE AND STONE #2 - 12,695	(-26.0%)

These numbers officially tell us that Xenomorphs (Aliens) are more popular with earthlings than Predators. Argument settled.

168. Nailbiter (Image)
5/1/2014:  Nailbiter #1 - 22,746	
6/1/2014:  Nailbiter #2 - 15,193	(-33.2%)
7/1/2014:  Nailbiter #3 - 16,581	(+9.1%)
8/1/2014:  Nailbiter #4 - 14,706	(-11.3%)
9/1/2014:  Nailbiter #5 - 14,947	(+1.6%)
10/1/2014: Nailbiter #6 - 13,340	(-10.8%)
11/1/2014: Nailbiter #7 - 12,361	(-5.3%)

I can’t believe Nailbiter lost readers this month. Did they not realize that Brian Michael Bendis has a cameo in issue seven?

169. Manhattan Projects #25 (Image)
4/1/2014:  Manhattan Projects #20 - 14,253	(-3.8%)
6/1/2014:  Manhattan Projects #21 - 15,126	(+6.1%)
7/1/2014:  Manhattan Projects #22 - 13,319	(-11.9%)
8/1/2014:  Manhattan Projects #23 - 13,157	(-1.2%)
10/1/2014: Manhattan Projects #24 - 12,693	(-4.0%)
11/1/2014: Manhattan Projects #25 - 12,236	(-3.6%)

Despite the numbers (which are fairly normal for a comic of this duration), Manhattan Projects still has some great stories left.

170. Copperhead #3 (Image)
9/1/2014:  Copperhead #1 - 24,272	
10/1/2014: Copperhead #2 - 17,250	(-28.9%)
11/1/2014: Copperhead #3 - 12,079	(-30.0%)

Another large drop for Copperhead, ideally we’ll see more stable numbers next issue.

172. Spawn #248 (Image)
5/1/2014:  Spawn #243 - 11,714	(-1.0%)
6/1/2014:  Spawn #244 - 11,837	(+1.0%)
7/1/2014:  Spawn #245 - 12,090	(+2.1%)
8/1/2014:  Spawn #246 - 13,343	(+10.4%)
10/1/2014: Spawn #247 - 12,023	(-9.9%)
11/1/2014: Spawn #248 - 11,934	(-0.7%)

After a few months of growth, it looks like Spawn is dropping back to normal.

173. Rasputin #2 (Image)
10/1/2014: RASPUTIN #1 - 21,373	
11/1/2014: RASPUTIN #2 - 11,693	(-45.3%)

If you know anything about the mythos of Rasputin, you’ll know that what doesn’t kill him makes Rasputin even stronger. I’m assuming this still applies to a substantial numbers drop between the first two issues.

174. Star Trek City on the Edge of Forever #5 (IDW)
6/1/2014:  Star Trek City O/T Edge Of Forever #1 - 12,028	
7/1/2014:  Star Trek City O/T Edge Of Forever #2 - 11,224	(-6.7%)
8/1/2014:  Star Trek City O/T Edge Of Forever #3 - 11,767	(+4.8%)
9/1/2014:  Star Trek City O/T Edge Of Forever #4 - 11,785	(+0.1%)
11/1/2014: Star Trek City O/T Edge of Forever #5 - 11,614	(-1.5%)

Negligible decline in sales this month, Star Trek fans are one of the few consistent things in the universe.

175. Big Trouble in Little China #6 (BOOM! Studios)
6/1/2014:  Big Trouble In Little China #1 - 24,160	--
7/1/2014:  Big Trouble In Little China #2 - 14,838	(-38.6%)
8/1/2014:  Big Trouble In Little China #3 - 14,076	(-5.1%)
9/1/2014:  Big Trouble in Little China #4 - 13,370	(-5.0%)
10/1/2014: Big Trouble in Little China #5 - 12,598	(-5.8%)
11/1/2014: Big Trouble in Little China #6 - 11,483	(-8.9%)

A steady decline since the first issue, though the comic seems to be nearing stable territory.

178. Angel and Faith Season 10 #8 (Dark Horse)
4/1/2014:  Angel And Faith Season 10 #1	- 17,820	(+33.6%)
5/1/2014:  Angel And Faith Season 10 #2	- 14,200	(-20.3%)
6/1/2014:  Angel And Faith Season 10 #3	- 13,029	(-8.2%)
7/1/2014:  Angel And Faith Season 10 #4	- 12,468	(-4.3%)
8/1/2014:  Angel And Faith Season 10 #5	- 11,957	(-4.1%)
9/1/2014:  Angel And Faith Season 10 #6 - 11,593	(-3.5%)
10/1/2014: Angel And Faith Season 10 #7	- 11,457	(-1.2%)
11/1/2014: Angel And Faith Season 10 #8	- 11,129	(-2.9%)

While not as popular as Buffy, this title is steadily supported by fans of the darker duo.

181. Red Sonja #13 (Dynamite Entertainment)
4/1/2014:  Red Sonja #8	 - 12,392	(-1.8%)
5/1/2014:  Red Sonja #9	 - 11,850	(-4.4%)
6/1/2014:  Red Sonja #10 - 11,685	(-1.4%)
8/1/2014:  Red Sonja #11 - 11,298	(-3.4%)
9/1/2014:  Red Sonja #12 - 11,431	(+1.3)
11/1/2014: Red Sonja #13 - 10,600	(-7.3%)

A new story-arc and a slight drop, we still don’t know which will prove more dangerous to the red She-Devil.

183. Chew #44 (Image)
2/1/2014:  Chew #40 - 11,193	(-2.6%)
4/1/2014:  Chew #41 - 10,835	(-3.2%)
6/1/2014:  Chew #42 - 10,981	(-1.3%)
9/1/2014:  Chew #43 - 10,777	(-1.9%)
11/1/2014: CHEW #44 - 10,526	(-2.3%)

I typically read Chew in trades, but murmurings in the comic community recently have made me want to dive in again. Not that you would be able to tell from these boringly steady sales.

185. Wayward #4 (Image)
8/1/2014:  Wayward #1 - 29,240	
9/1/2014:  Wayward #2 - 15,053	(-48.5%)
10/1/2014: Wayward #3 - 10,795	(-28.3%)
11/1/2014: Wayward #4 - 10,318	(-2.3%)

Wayward is finally settling in to a solid place.

186. Bob's Burgers #4 (Dynamite Entertainment)
8/1/2014:  Bobs Burgers #1 - 20,157	
9/1/2014:  Bobs Burgers #2 - 11,030  (-45.2%)
10/1/2014: Bobs Burgers #3 - 9,571   (-13.2%)
11/1/2014: Bobs Burgers #4 - 10,160  (+6.2%)

Bob’s Burgers ended on a positive note this month. For readers of the comic, is it really the same without the voices?

187. Star Trek Ongoing #38 (IDW)
2/1/2014:  Star Trek #30	$3.99	IDW	9,906	(-2.2%)
3/1/2014:  Star Trek #31	$3.99	IDW	9,781	(-1.3%)
4/1/2014:  Star Trek #32	$3.99	IDW	10,801	(+10.4%)
5/1/2014:  Star Trek #33	$3.99	IDW	9,729	(-9.9%)
6/1/2014:  Star Trek #34	$3.99	IDW	10,216	(+4.8%)
7/1/2014:  Star Trek #35	$3.99	IDW	10,089	(-1.2%)
8/1/2014:  Star Trek #36	$3.99	IDW	10,017	(-0.7%)
9/1/2014:  Star Trek #37	$3.99	IDW	9,893	(-1.2%)
11/1/2014: Star Trek #38	$3.99	IDW	10,150	(+2.6%)

Slow and steady.

188. Edward Scissorhands #2 (IDW)
10/1/2014: EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #1 - 13,533
11/1/2014: EDWARD SCISSORHANDS #2 - 10,121 (-25.2%)

Kate Leth’s delightful writing cements a strong readership with a relatively minor second issue drop.

189. X-Files Seasons 10 #8 (IDW)

7/1/2014:  X-Files Season 10 #14 - 10,850	(-5.6%)
8/1/2014:  X-Files Season 10 #15 - 10,581	(-2.5%)
9/1/2014:  X-Files Season 10 #16 - 10,067	(-4.9%)
10/1/2013: X-Files Season 10 #17 - 9,865	(-2.0%)
11/1/2014: X-Files Season 10 #18 - 9,915	(+0.5%)

Slight upswing this month.

191. Lumberjanes #8 (BOOM! Studios)
7/1/2014:  Lumberjanes #4 - 9,988	(+9.2%)
9/1/2014:  Lumberjanes #5 - 10,099	(+1.1%)
9/1/2014:  Lumberjanes #6 - 10,029	(-0.7%)
10/1/2014: Lumberjanes #7 - 9,999	(-0.3%)
11/1/2014:Lumberjanes #8 - 9,543	(-4.6%)

Wow. Issue eight guys, that ending was crazy. I’m still processing.

192. Revival #25 (Image)
5/1/2014:  Revival #20 - 10,341	(-0.4%)
6/1/2014:  Revival #21 - 9,808	(-5.2%)
7/1/2014:  Revival #22 - 9,931	(-1.9%)
8/1/2014:  Revival #23 - 9,425	(-5.9%)
10/1/2014: Revival #24 - 9,019	(-4.7%)
11/1/2014: Revival #25 - 9,535	(+5.7%)

Slight increase for Revival.

193. Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #35 (IDW)
7/1/2014:  Transformers More Than Meets Eye #30 - 9,395	 (-1.6%)
8/1/2014:  Transformers More Than Meets Eye #31 - 10,063 (+7.1%)
9/1/2014:  Transformers More Than Meets Eye #32 - 9,857	 (-2.0%)
9/1/2014:  Transformers More Than Meets Eye #33	- 9,744	 (-1.1%)
10/1/2014: Transformers More Than Meets Eye #34 - 9,670	 (-0.8%)
11/1/2014: Transformers More Than Meets Eye #35 - 9,390	(-2.9%)

Some negligible attrition.

194. Sinergy #1 (Image)
11/1/2014: SINERGY #1 - 9,380

A week debut for Michael Avon Oeming and Taki Soma’s new series. Despite the low numbers, the premise of the book “sex unlocks girls sixth sense” could just be a sleeper hit.

195. Transformers Robots in Disguise #35 (IDW)
6/1/2014:  Transformers Robots In Disguise #30 - 9,714	(+1.8%)
7/1/2014:  Transformers Robots In Disguise #31 - 8,706	(-10.4%)
8/1/2014:  Transformers Robots In Disguise #32 - 9,762	(+12.1%)
9/1/2014:  Transformers Robots In Disguise #33 - 10,815	(+10.8%)
10/1/2014: Transformers Robots In Disguise #34 - 9,418	(-12.9%)
11/1/2014: Transformers Robots In Disguise #35 - 9,354	(-0.7%)

With minor ups and down, Transformers has found it’s niche.

197. Roche Limit #3 (Image)
9/1/2014:  Roche Limit #1 - 23,404    --
10/1/2014: Roche Limit #2 - 11,424 (-51.2%)
11/1/2014: Roche Limit #3 - 9,296  (-18.9%)

Still searching for solid ground.

198. Dawn Vampirella #2 (Dynamite Entertainment)
9/1/2014:  Dawn Vampirella #1 - 13,368	--
11/1/2014: Dawn Vampirella #2 - 9,248	(-30.8%)

A normal second issue drop-off.

199. Transformers Drift Empire of Stone #1 (IDW)
11/1/2014: TRANSFORMERS DRIFT EMPIRE OF STONE #1 - 9,246

Apparently we needed one more Transformer book. There are enough readers to support it.

201. Fairy Quest Outcasts #1 (BOOM! Studios)
11/1/2014: FAIRY QUEST OUTCASTS #1 - 8,958

I just read a quick synopsis of this issue, and it stole my heart. Here’s hoping it doesn’t lose too many readers in the second issue!

202. Alex + Ada #10 (Image)
6/1/2014:  Alex + Ada #7  - 9,579 (-2.9%)
8/1/2014:  Alex + Ada #8  - 9,453 (-1.3%)
10/1/2014: Alex + Ada #9  - 9,370 (-0.9%)
11/1/2014: Alex + Ada #10 - 8,946 (-4.5%)

Some attrition at play here, but the core audience still seems committed. I know I am!

203. Ten Grande #11 (Image)
2/1/2014:  Ten Grand #7  - 13,201 (-14.1%)
3/1/2014:  Ten Grand #8  - 12,117 (-8.2%)
4/1/2014:  Ten Grand #9  - 11,210 (-7.5%)
7/1/2014:  Ten Grand #10 - 10,354 (-7.6%)
11/1/2014: Ten Grand #11 - 8,932 (-13.7%)

I’d like to attribute these drops to attrition, but Ten Grande has suffered some sizable decline this year.

206. Sonic the Hedgehog #266 (Archie Comics)
1/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #256	$2.99	ARC	9,840	(-5.6%)
2/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #257	$2.99	ARC	9,325	(-5.2%)
3/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #258	$2.99	ARC	9,023	(-3.2%)
4/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #259	$2.99	ARC	6,228	(+5.2%)
5/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #260	$2.99	ARC	8,866	(-6.6%)
6/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #261	$2.99	ARC	8,822	(-0.5%)
7/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #262	$2.99	ARC	8,971	(+1.7%)
8/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #263	$2.99	ARC	9,135	(+1.8%)
9/1/2014:  Sonic The Hedgehog #264	$3.99	ARC	9,019	(-1.3%)
10/1/2014: Sonic The Hedgehog #265	$3.99	ARC	8,869	(-1.7%)
11/1/2014: Sonic The Hedgehog #266	$3.99	ARC	8,822	(-0.5%)

Overall a fairly solid year for this series.

207. Deep State #1 (BOOM! Studios)
11/1/2014: DEEP STATE #1 - 8,768

Neither new series from Boom! managed to hit the 10k reader mark. This is totally a conspiracy that the agents from Deep State should look into.

208. Shadow Show #1 (IDW)
11/1/2014: SHADOW SHOW #1 - 8,634

This tribute to Ray Bradbury features new stories from Joe Hill and Jason Ciaramella (with art by Charles Paul Wilson). Perhaps the low reader numbers suggest the book had too many literary references?

209. GI Joe (2014) #3 (IDW)
9/1/2014:  GI JOE (2014) #1 - 16,848	
10/1/2014: GI JOE (2014) #2 - 9,708	(-42.4%)
11/1/2014: GI JOE (2014) #3 - 8,602	(-11.4%)

A small drop for the third issue. We’ll probably just see natural attrition at play with readers from here on out.

210. Grendel vs. Shadow #3 (Dark Horse)
9/1/2014	Grendel Vs Shadow #1 - 11,514	
10/1/2014	Grendel Vs Shadow #2 - 9,571	(-17.1%)
11/1/2014	Grendel Vs Shadow #3 - 8,516	(-11.0 %)

This book costs $5.99. You could *almost* buy two other comics for the price of this single comic. All that to say the slight drop this month isn’t too bad considering how much the book itself costs.

211. Annihilator #3 (Legendary Comics)
9/1/2014:  Annihilator #1	$3.99	RAN	10,345	--
10/1/2014: Annihilator #2	$3.99	RAN	6,482	(-37.3%)
11/1/2014: Annihilator #3	$3.99	RAN	8,383	(+29.3%)

After a large second issue drop, the third issue of Annihilator manages to pick up some new readers. I’m assuming word of mouth probably caught on for the third issue of Grant Morrison and Frazier Irving’s new comic.

213. X-O Manowar #30 (Valiant)
5/1/2014:  X-O Manowar #25 - 12,493	(+45.4%)
6/1/2014:  X-O Manowar #26 - 10,083	(-19.3%)
7/1/2014:  X-O Manowar #27 - 9,183	(-8.9%)
8/1/2014:  X-O Manowar #28 - 9,634	(+4.9%)
9/1/2014:  X-O Manowar #29 - 8,566	(-11.1%)
11/1/2014: X-O Manowar #30 - 8,354	(-2.5%)

Numbers in near stasis for this month.

214. Thief of Thieves #25 (Image)
5/1/2014:  Thief Of Thieves #21 - 9,625	(-2.5%)
7/1/2014:  Thief Of Thieves #22 - 9,457	(-1.7%)
8/1/2014:  Thief Of Thieves #23 - 9,069	(-4.1%)
10/1/2014: Thief Of Thieves #24 - 8,731	(-3.7%)
11/1/2014: Thief Of Thieves #25 - 8,336	(-4.2%)

Standard attrition.

215. Conan the Avenger #8 (Dark Horse)
4/1/2014:  Conan The Avenger #1	- 11,565 (+7.7%)
5/1/2014:  Conan The Avenger #2	- 9,946	(-14.0%)
6/1/2013:  Conan The Avenger #3	- 9,486	(-4.6%)
7/1/2014:  Conan The Avenger #4	- 9,182	(-3.2%)
8/1/2014:  Conan The Avenger #5	- 8,941	(-2.6%)
9/1/2014:  Conan The Avenger #6	- 8,820	(-1.4%)
10/1/2014: Conan The Avenger #7	- 8,547	(-3.1%)
11/1/2014: Conan The Avenger #8	- 8,250	(-3.5%)

There aren’t very many synonyms for the word “attrition” so I’m going to make a new one. This title is suffering from smorgnerf.

216. Cowl #6 (Image)
5/1/2014:  Cowl #1 - 20,851	--
6/1/2014:  Cowl #2 - 13,569	(-34.9%)
7/1/2014:  Cowl #3 - 11,604	(-14.5%)
8/1/2014:  Cowl #4 - 10,893	(-6.1%)
9/1/2014:  Cowl #5 - 9,852		(-9.6%)
11/1/2014: Cowl #6 - 8,208	(-16.7%)

A rather large drop this month. This is one of the many series included in the second Humble Image Bundle in January which might help the series pick up a few readers.

217. Tomb Raider #10 (Dark Horse)
6/1/2013:  Tomb Raider #5  - 10,536	(-6.8%)
7/1/2014:  Tomb Raider #6  - 10,149	(-3.7%)
8/1/2014:  Tomb Raider #7  - 9,429	(-7.1%)
9/1/2014:  Tomb Raider #8  - 9,125	(-3.2%)
10/1/2014: Tomb Raider #9  - 8,748	(-4.1%)
11/1/2014: Tomb Raider #10 - 8,153	(-6.8%)

Some normal attrition going on here – or should we say smorgnerf? Either way, the numbers are slowly dropping.

218. Transformers Primacy #4 (IDW)
8/1/2014:  Transformers Primacy #1 - 10,472	
9/1/2014:  Transformers Primacy #2 - 10,172	(-2.9%)
10/1/2014: Transformers Primacy #3 - 8,452	(-16.9%)
11/1/2014: Transformers Primacy #4 - 8,051	(-4.7%)

Small drop, looks like Primacy is finally finding it’s feet.

219. God Hates Astronauts #3 (Image)
9/1/2014:  God Hates Astronauts #1 - 16,689	
10/1/2014: God Hates Astronauts #2 - 10,178	(-39.0%)
11/1/2014: God Hates Astronauts #3 - 8,017	(-21.2%)

The numbers for this title have dropped quickly proving there may actually be things too weird for comics readers. Looking for these numbers to stabilize next month.

221. Godzilla Cataclysm #4 (IDW)
8/1/2014:  Godzilla Cataclysm #1 - 11,868	
9/1/2014:  Godzilla Cataclysm #2 - 8,859  (-25.4%)
10/1/2014: Godzilla Cataclysm #3 - 8,624  (-2.7%)
11/1/2014: Godzilla Cataclysm #4 - 7,981  (-7.5%)

I’ve never really understood Godzilla. Luckily I don’t need to “get it” in order to understand it suffered a loss this month.

,Strong>223. GI Joe A Real American Hero #208 (IDW)
3/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #200 - 11,780 (+77.1%)
4/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #201 - 8,294  (-29.6%)
5/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #202 - 6,781  (-18.2%)
6/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #203 - 6,791  (+0.1%)
7/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #204 - 6,706  (-1.3%)
8/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #205 - 6,562  (-2.1%)
9/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #206 - 7,651  (+16.6%)
10/1/2014:  GI Joe A Real American Hero #207 - 6,494  (-16.1%)
11/1/2014: GI Joe A Real American Hero #208 - 7,810  (+20.3%)

Attrition may be the Joe’s biggest enemy, and they gave it a pounding this month with a large bump.

224. Skylanders #2 (IDW)
10/1/2014: SKYLANDERS #1 - 12,361	
11/1/2014: SKYLANDERS #2 - 7,665 (-38.0%)

I imagine that if children had their own purchasing power and actually KNEW about this comic that sales would skyrocket. Elementary aged children are maniacs for Skylanders. A normal sized second issue drop though, and still glad to see publishers gearing more comics towards kids.

225. Dungeons & Dragons Legends of Baldur's Gate #2 (IDW)
10/1/2014: Dungeons & Dragons Legends of Baldurs Gate  #1 - 9,341	
11/1/2014: Dungeons & Dragons Legends of Baldurs Gate  #2 - 7,642 (-18.2%)

Smaller than average second issue drop.
.

226. X-Files Year Zero #5 (IDW)
7/1/2014:  X-Files Year Zero #1	- 10,333	
8/1/2014:  X-Files Year Zero #2	- 8,794	(-14.9%)
10/1/2014: X-Files Year Zero #3	- 8,467	(-3.8%)
10/1/2014: X-Files Year Zero #4	- 8,049	(-4.9%)
11/1/2014: X-Files Year Zero #5	- 7,599	(-5.6%)

Only minor losses.

228. BPRD Hell on Earth #125 (Dark Horse)
6/1/2014:  Bprd Hell On Earth #120 - 8,127	(-2.2%)
7/2/2014:  Bprd Hell On Earth #121 - 8,092	(-0.4%)
8/1/2014:  Bprd Hell On Earth #122 - 8,004	(-1.1%)
9/1/2014:  Bprd Hell On Earth #123 - 7,762	(-3.0%)
10/1/2014: Bprd Hell On Earth #124 - 7,759	0%
11/1/2014: Bprd Hell On Earth #125 - 7,534	(-2.9%)

The Mignolaverse just keeps on chugging away.

229. New Vampirella #6 (Dynamite Entertainment)
6/1/2014:  New Vampirella #1 - 22,864	
7/1/2014:  New Vampirella #2 - 9,445	(-58.7%)
8/1/2014:  New Vampirella #3 - 8,732	(-7.5%)
9/1/2014:  New Vampirella #4 - 8,287	(-5.1%)
10/1/2014: New Vampirella#5 - 7,784	(-6.1%)
11/1/2014: New Vampirella #6 - 7,378	(-5.2%)

This title started out strong, but “new” titling can only change stats for so long.

231. October Faction #2 (IDW)
10/1/2014: OCTOBER FACTION #1 - 9,181	
11/1/2014: OCTOBER FACTION #2 - 7,174	(-21.9%)

Normal second issue drop.

232. Sonic Universe #70 (Archie Comics)
10/1/2014: SONIC UNIVERSE #68 - 7,438	(-1.8%)
10/1/2014: SONIC UNIVERSE #69 - 7,378	(-0.8%)
11/1/2014: SONIC UNIVERSE #70 - 7,161	(-2.9%)

Sonic Universe has had roughly 7k readers for over ten issues. Way to be consistent guys.

234. Godzilla Rulers of the Earth #18 (IDW)
6/1/2014:   Godzilla Rulers Of The Earth #13 - 6,980	(-11.5%)
7/1/2014:   Godzilla Rulers Of The Earth #14 - 7,144	(+2.3%)
8/1/2014:   Godzilla Rulers Of The Earth #15 - 7,156	(+0.2%)
9/1/2014:   Godzilla Rulers Of The Earth #16 - 7,181	(+0.3%)
10/1/2014: Godzilla Rulers Of The Earth #17 - 7,167	(-0.2%)
11/1/2014: Godzilla Rulers Of The Earth #18 - 7,065	(-1.4%)

This is another one of those strangely consistent comics.

235. Justice Inc. #4 (Dynamite Entertainment)
8/1/2014:  Justice Inc #1 - 12,020	
9/1/2014:  Justice Inc #2 - 8,651	(-28.0%)
10/1/2014: Justice Inc #3 - 7,546	(-12.8%)
11/1/2014: Justice Inc #4 - 7,057	(-6.5%)

Stabilizing just in time for the final two issues of the series.

236. Bee and Puppycat #6 (BOOM! Studios)
5/1/2014:    Bee And Puppycat #1 - 12,204   --
6/1/2014:    Bee And Puppycat #2 - 7,557	(-38.1%)
8/1/2014:    Bee And Puppycat #3 - 8,031	(+6.3%)
9/1/2014:    Bee and Puppycat #4	- 7,556	(-5.9%)
10/1/2014:  Bee And Puppycat #5 - 7,255	(-4.0%)
11/1/2014:  Bee And Puppycat #6 - 7,055	(-2.8%)

Some minor attrition for Bee and Puppycat. It’s tempting to single-handedly buy a few hundred issues just to see the numbers rise.

237. Elfquest Final Quest #6 (Dark Horse)
1/1/2014:  Elfquest Final Quest #1 - 9,861	(+1.9%)
3/1/2014:  Elfquest Final Quest #2 - 8,390	(-14.9%)
5/1/2014:  Elfquest Final Quest #3 - 7,967	(-5.0%)
7/1/2014:  Elfquest Final Quest #4 - 7,622	(-3.7%)
9/1/2014:  Elfquest Final Quest #5 - 7,364	(-3.4%)
11/1/2014:Elfquest Final Quest #6 - 6,961	(-5.5%)

Some normal attrition at play. I’m sure Richard and Wendy Pini are used to this by now considering Elf Quest has been around for DECADES.

238. Bloodshot #25 (Valiant)
10/1/2014: BLOODSHOT #24 - VAL	--	
11/1/2014: BLOODSHOT #25 - VAL	6,955

With #24 this went from a team book back to a solo title. Despite the major change, there hasn’t been a spike in numbers for the series.

241. Eternal Warrior Days of Steel #1 (Valiant)
11/1/2014: ETERNAL WARRIOR DAYS OF STEEL #1 - 6,785

Not exactly the numbers you’d want for a first issue. Luckily this mini-series is only 3 issues long.

242. Mega Man (Archie Comics)
10/1/2014: MEGA MAN #41	- 6,899	(-0.4%)
10/1/2014: MEGA MAN #42	- 6,946	(+0.7%)
11/1/2014: MEGA MAN #43	- 6,771	(-2.5%)

Yup.

244. Archer and Armstrong One Perfect #1 (Valiant)
11/1/2014: ARCHER & ARMSTRONG ONE PERCENT #1 - 6,738

The debut of a new villain for Archer and Armstrong continues sales-wise where the previous series left off.

245. Game of Thrones #22 (Dynamite Entertainment)
3/1/2014:  Game Of Thrones #19 (Mr) - 7,043	(-6.3%)
4/1/2014:  Game Of Thrones #20 (Mr) - 6,938	(-1.5%)
8/1/2014:  Game Of Thrones #21 (Mr) - 7,010	(+1.0%)
11/1/2014: Game Of Thrones #22 (MR) - 6,696	(-4.5%)

Is there as much nudity in the comic as there is in the HBO series?

246. Angry Birds Transformers #1 (IDW)
11/1/2014: ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS #1 - 6,667

I’ve never exactly understood the appeal of the Angry Birds franchise, but there are apparently thousands of people that do. I’m curious though, are the Angry Birds actually transforming or what?

247. Vampirella Feary Tales #2 (Dynamite Entertainment)
10/1/2014: VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #1 - 10,571	
11/1/2014: VAMPIRELLA FEARY TALES #2 - 6,607	(-37.5%)

A second issue drop.

248. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes #1 (BOOM! Studios)
11/1/2014: DAWN OF PLANET OF APES #1 - 6,569

It’s not exactly the number you’d hope to debut a new title to, but hey, it still made the list!

249. The Woods #7 (BOOM! Studios)
5/1/2014: The Woods #1 - 13,916	--
6/1/2014: The Woods #2 - 9,352	(-32.8%)
7/1/2014: The Woods #3 - 8,852	(-5.3%)
8/1/3014: The Woods #4 - 8,272	(-6.6%)
9/1/2014: The Woods #5 - 7,649	(-7/5%)
10/1/2014: The Woods #6 - 7,103	(-7.1%)
11/1/2014: The Woods #7 - 6,554	(-7.7%)

Seeing some small losses this month, maybe the swarm ate some of the readers?

250.Adventure Time Banana Guard Academy #5 (BOOM! Studios)
7/1/2014:  Adv Time Banana Guard Academy #1 - 10,402	
8/1/2014:  Adv Time Banana Guard Academy #2 - 8,287	(-20.4%)
10/1/2014: Adv Time Banana Guard Academy #3 - 7,977	(-3.7%)
10/1/2014: Adv Time Banana Guard Academy #4 - 7,453	(-6.6%)
11/1/2014: Adv Time Banana Guard Academy #5 - 6,514	(-12.6%)

The Adventure Time comics are some of Boom’s bread and butter….and bananas. We’re seeing a large drop off of readers for the fifth issue, but the series may regain some of those for the sixth and final issue.

251. Unity #12 (Valiant)
6/1/2014:  Unity #8  - 9,442	(+9.1%)
7/1/2014:  Unity #9  - 8,485	(-10.1%)
8/1/2014:  Unity #10 - 8,491	(0.0%)
9/1/2014:  Unity #11 - 7,602	(-10.5%)
11/1/2014: Unity #12 - 6,508	(-14.4%)

A new story arc with some fixed decline on the side.

252. Sex #18 (Image)
1/1/2014:  Sex #10 - 9,947	(-7.1%)
2/1/2014:  Sex #11 - 9,302	(-6.5%)
3/1/2014:  Sex #12 - 8,830	(-5.1%)
5/1/2014:  Sex #13 - 8,192	(-7.2%)
6/1/2014:  Sex #14 - 7,824	(-4.5%)
8/1/2014:  Sex #15 - 7,601	(-2.9%)
9/1/2014:  Sex #16 - 7,167	(-5.7%)
10/1/2014: Sex #17 - 6,709	(-6.4%)
11/1/2014: Sex #18 - 6,361	(-5.2%)

Attrition.

256. Sons of Anarchy #15 (BOOM! Studios)
7/1/2014:  Sons Of Anarchy #11 - 7,394	(-5.9%)

9/1/2014:  Sons of Anarchy #13 - 6,506	(-6.5%)
10/1/2014: Sons of Anarchy #14 - 6,537	0.00%
11/1/2014: Sons of Anarchy #15 - 6,271	(-4.1%)

The comic carries on, even if the show no longer does.

257. Samurai Jack #14 (IDW)
7/1/2014:  Samurai Jack #10 - 6,741	(-20.4%)
8/1/2014:  Samurai Jack #11 - 7,489	(+11.1%)

10/1/2014: Spongebob Comics #37 - 6,417	0.00%
11/1/2014: Spongebob Comics #38 - 6,201	(-3.4%)

Minor drop, the numbers are fairly steady for Spongebob. It will be interesting to see whether Spongebob’s new movie will increase his comic sales in the next few months.

260. Capture Creatures #1 (BOOM! Studios)
11/1/2014	CAPTURE CREATURES #1	$3.99	BOO	6,171

Kids comics don’t always make the flashiest of entrances into the comic world. However, Frank Gibson and Becky Dreistadt’s Capture Creatures does warrant your children’s attention. Needless to say, I’m hoping this one takes off!

263. Strain Night Eternal #4 (Dark Horse)
8/1/2014:  Strain Night Eternal #1 - 9,394	
9/1/2014:  Strain Night Eternal #2 - 7,540	(-19.7%)
10/1/2014: Strain Night Eternal #3 - 7,021	(-6.9%)
11/1/2014: Strain Night Eternal #4 - 6,162	(-12.2%)

10/1/2014	GONERS #1 - 12,496	
11/1/2014	GONERS #2 - 6,145	(-50.8%)

A dramatic second issue drop.

It’s been awhile since we had solid numbers for this title.

266. Penny Dora & The Wishing Box #1 (Image)
11/1/2014	PENNY DORA & THE WISHING BOX #1	$2.99	IMA	6,043

Remember what I said about kids comics and weak debuts?

3/1/2014:  Witchblade #173 - 6,109	(-1.8%)

10/1/2014: Witchblade #178 - ????	????
11/1/2014: Witchblade #179 - 6,041	????

Back on the board!

268. Baltimore Wolf and the Apostle #2 (Dark Horse)
10/1/2014: BALTIMORE WOLF AND THE APOSTLE #1 - 6,711	
11/1/2014: BALTIMORE WOLF AND THE APOSTLE #2 - 6,027	(-10.2%)

This is the tiniest second issue drop on the list this month.

269. Futurama Comics #73 (Bongo Comics)

9/1/2014:  Futurama Comics #72 - ????	????
11/1/2014:Futurama Comics #73 - 5,994	????

From what data we have, it looks like the numbers are almost in stasis.

271. American Legends #1 (Image)
11/1/2014	AMERICAN LEGENDS #1	$3.99	IMA	5,986

No love for America guys?

272. Punks the Comics #2 (Image)
10/1/2014	PUNKS THE COMIC #1	$3.99	IMA	13,853	
11/1/2014	PUNKS THE COMIC #2	$3.99	IMA	5,968	(-56.9%)

If all the punks read a comic about punks, does that make the comic too mainstream?

273. Resurrectionists #1 (Dark Horse)
11/1/2014	RESURRECTIONISTS #1	$3.50	DAR	5,943
274. God Is Dead #24 (Avatar Press)

Some decline as we come to the end of the current story arc.

10/1/2014	Q2 RTN QUANTUM & WOODY #1 - 8,226	
11/1/2014	Q2 RTN QUANTUM & WOODY #2 - 5,802	(-29.5%)

1/1/2014:  Tarot Witch Of The Black Rose #84 - 6,234	(-0.3%)
3/1/2014:  Tarot Witch Of The Black Rose #85 - 6,075	(-2.6%)

10/1/2014: Tarot Witch of the Black Rose #88 - ????	????
11/1/2014: Tarot Wtich of the Black Rose #89 - 5,773	????

Back on the board.

11/1/2014: Usagi Yojimbo Senso #5 - 5,451	(-4.7%)

I’m going to assume that it’s just standard attrition.

279. Massive #29 (Dark Horse)
1/1/2014:  Massive #19 - 7,387	(-4.9%)
2/1/2014:  Massive #20 - 6,976	(-5.6%)

10/1/2014: Death Vigil #4 - ????	????
11/1/2014: Death Vigil #5 - 5,612	????

Back on the board this month showing some natural attrition.

282. Sleepy Hollow #2 (BOOM! Studios)
10/1/2014	SLEEPY HOLLOW #1	$3.99	BOO	10,403	
11/1/2014	SLEEPY HOLLOW #2	$3.99	BOO	5,611	(-46.1%)

A dramatic second drop for the new series. If the comic is anything like the show we could have a slow burn building up.

283. Delinquents #4 (Valiant)
8/1/2014:  Delinquents #1 - 12,912	
9/1/2014:  Delinquents #2 - 6,964	(-46.1%)
10/1/2014: Delinquents #3 - ????	????
11/1/2014: Delinquents #4 - 5,541	????

284. Red Sonja Black Tower #3 (Dynamite Entertainment)
9/1/2014:  Red Sonja Black Tower #1 - 7,519	
10/1/2014: Red Sonja Black Tower #2 - ????	????
11/1/2014: Red Sonja Black Tower #3 - 5,518	????

This mini-series hasn’t lost too many followers.

285. Purgatori #3 (Dynamite Entertainment)
9/1/2014:  Purgatori #1 - 11,718	--
10/1/2014: Purgatori #2 - ????	????
11/1/2014:Purgatori #3 - 5,475	????

Looks like Purgatori has lost roughly half of it’s readers since the first issue.
