By the numbers, for example, fewer comics were shipped in five-shipping-week March, 7.47 million copies, than in either of the four-week months of January and February, for example (7.57 and 7.85 million copies respectively). Yet retailers spent more on comics in March than in either of those two months.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because &#8212; as you know if you&#8217;ve been reading &#8212; <b>Marvel<\/b> shipped a significant number of copies to retailers for free in <b><a href=\"http:\/\/comichron.com\/monthlycomicssales\/2017\/2017-01.html\">January<\/a><\/b>, while <a href=\"http:\/\/comichron.com\/monthlycomicssales\/2017\/2017-02.html\"><b>February<\/b> <\/a>saw retailers buy three quarters of a million copies of a 25-cent issue of <b><i>Walking Dead<\/i><\/b>.

And if we skip back to the first quarter of 2014 &#8212; before <b><i>Star Wars<\/i><\/b> arrived at Marvel and transformed the winter charts dramatically &#8212; we find that the first quarter of 2017 is up 8% in dollars by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>The aggregate sales statistics:<\/p>\n<table class=\"tableizer-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"tableizer-firstrow\">\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Dollars<\/th>\n<th>Units<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>March 2017 vs. February 2017<\/b><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Comics<\/td>\n<td>+15.00%<\/td>\n<td>-4.72%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Graphic Novels<\/td>\n<td>+15.44%<\/td>\n<td>+19.72%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Total Comics\/GNs<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>+15.14%<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>-3.13%<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Toys<\/td>\n<td>+34.66%<\/td>\n<td>+55.98%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>March 2017 vs. March 2016<\/b><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Comics<\/td>\n<td>+6.02%<\/td>\n<td>+8.93%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Graphic Novels<\/td>\n<td>-15.36%<\/td>\n<td>-17.47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Total Comics\/GNs<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>-1.68%<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>+6.21%<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Toys<\/td>\n<td>-9.24%<\/td>\n<td>+0.51%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Year-to-Date 2017 vs. Year-to-Date 2016<\/b><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Comics<\/td>\n<td>+0.70%<\/td>\n<td>+11.05%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Graphic Novels<\/td>\n<td>-10.68%<\/td>\n<td>-13.49%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Total Comics\/GNs<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>-3.01%<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>+8.89%<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Toys<\/td>\n<td>-2.52%<\/td>\n<td>-0.31%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Now, as you can see from the above, it&#8217;s not all good news, because dollar orders for graphic novels were off more than 15%.
