Our full comics and graphic novel sales estimates for June 2019 are now online — and we see there’s a lot of competition for the second-place comic book for the year overall.
In April, War of the Realms #1 became the second-bestselling comic book of the year so far; in May, DCeased #1 did the same thing. Now our analysis of comics sold by Diamond Comic Distributors shows that, in June, Black Cat #1 approached 256,000 copies in sales, giving it the second-place slot for the year. (Still nothing yet to challenge Detective Comics #1000 — though Marvel Comics #1000 is on the way.)
