Our February 2020 comics sales estimates are now online. Wolverine #1 was the bestseller with more than 190,000 copies moved in North America in a month in which sales significantly exceeded those from the same month in the previous year. With the effects of Coronavirus yet to play out on the continent’s commercial scene, the Direct Market at least began 2020 on the positive side, up 1.35% overall.
Batman #88 and #89 moved into fourth and fifth places respectively once the cardstock variants were included. We’ve set up our 2020 so far page to reflect merged totals on all such issues.
