Our January 2020 comics sales estimates <\/a><\/b>are now online.\u00a0Wonder Woman <\/i>#750<\/a> <\/b>moved more than 167,000 copies in North America, with the series leading the market for its first time ever. That was about a third of what Action<\/i><\/b> and Detective<\/i> #1000<\/b> did, but WW<\/i>‘s sales were strong enough to more than double the dollars spent on any other January item.<\/p>\n

As expected, Batman<\/i> #86<\/b> and #87<\/b>, the debut issues of James Tynion IV<\/b>, moved up in Diamond’s chart once the regular and cardstock versions were combined. Use the “Fused” column to re-sort Comichron’s comics chart to combine DC’s (and other publishers’) differently priced editions.<\/p>\n

No three-peat for Star Wars<\/i> #1<\/b> as a million-copy seller, though the 2015<\/b> issue’s presence is felt in this month’s charts in that all the five-year comparatives are skewed. (Every seventh comic Diamond sold in January 2015<\/b> was a Star Wars<\/i> #1<\/b>, wildly distorting the month’s data.) It did double the sales of Dark Horse’s 1998 and and 2013 Star Wars<\/i><\/b> #1s, so it’s right in the middle.<\/p>\n

X-Men #4<\/b> significantly outsold #5<\/b>, but a portion of that comes from the former’s spotlight focus as a Jan. 1 release, whereas #5 only was out three days in January. Issue #5 did well in advance reorders and the issue is sold out at Diamond, so the difference may wash out in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
