Powered by a strong launch for Justice by Alex Ross, the August comics market posted solid double-digit gains over the same month in 2004. August was the second five-week month in three months, a quirk of the calendar that provided 2005's summer with an additional week of sales.
Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, and IDW combined to take 246 spots — meaning last place in the Diamond Top 300 was around 2,100 copies, higher than it had been in a while. The highest (and only) debut publisher in the Top 300 was Red Eagle. Its Robert Jordan's New Spring placed 215th, with approximately 5,500 copies sold.
Marvel led both unit and dollar categories in Diamond's reported overall unit and dollar market shares, but each had well over a third of the market to themselves. DC had 97 comics in the Top 300 versus Marvel's 85. Image, with 37 titles in the Top 300, posted one of its better months in a while — though Dark Horse still surpassed it in the overall categories.
Diamond did not release the dollar sales rankings for the comics in 101st through 300th place this month.
