Estimates have been calculated by Comichron<\/b> for comic books shipped to North American retailers last month by Diamond Comic Distributors<\/b><\/a>; click to see the estimates for November 2016.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

As mentioned here on Friday<\/b><\/a>, it was a softer month for a number of reasons. The volume of new comics releases went down from October despite the addition of a fifth shipping week, and a large holiday increase in graphic novel shipments wasn’t able to pick up all the slack.<\/p>\n

It’s possible one factor boosting the number of October comics releases over November was Halloween Comicfest, now fairly well established as a promotion for which giveaway comics are released; while giveaway comics are not included in the unit sales charts, it could be that they are in the new release totals. Local Comic Shop Day<\/b><\/a> items were included, and we see several of them made the graphic novel Top 300.<\/p>\n

Batman <\/i>#10<\/b><\/a> was the new comic with the largest numbers of copies shipped, while Paper Girls Vol. 2 <\/b><\/i>led the graphic novel list. The 300th place title is the same one it was in October, Uncle Scrooge, and sales at that level are around 4,800 copies, which is a positive sign that sales in the lower tiers are hanging in there.<\/p>\n

The aggregate totals and changes over time:<\/p>\n
