As reported here on Friday, Absolute Carnage<\/i><\/b>\u00a0#1<\/a> led new comics sales by Diamond Comic Distributors<\/b> to retailers in July \u2014 and our full estimates, just posted, place its sales at more than 233,000 copies to North America. That puts it ahead of the nearly 207,000 copies of Marvel Comics<\/i> #1000<\/a><\/b>. Together, they brought the publisher to a 46.15% dollar market share, at least a 22-year high.<\/p>\n
