Last October was a four-week month, versus a five-week month \u2014 but more importantly, the trade paperback sector performed relatively poorly back then, when all the attention was on the DC relaunch. The Top 300 trades sold for $5.78 million then; if we simply multiply by the percentage change, that would give us close to $8.9 million. That would still be the highest mark ever for that category, but we had an $8.27 million month back in May. (So it's big and record-setting \u2014 just not mind-bogglingly gargantuan.) There is a five-week versus four-week month factor in play in comparing October 2012 versus October 2011 \u2014 but the fact that the market's beating its records from five-week months earlier this year says something. Marvel led the market shares in both unit and dollar categories. Image's 8.47% dollar mark is large, but only its third highest for the year (which says something about how big a year it's been for the company). \n\n<style>\n<!--\n \/* Font Definitions *\/\n@font-face\n {font-family:Arial;\n panose-1:2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2 4;\n mso-font-charset:0;\n mso-generic-font-family:auto;\n mso-font-pitch:variable;\n mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073711037 9 0 511 0;}\n@font-face\n {font-family:\"Cambria Math\";\n panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;\n mso-font-charset:0;\n mso-generic-font-family:auto;\n mso-font-pitch:variable;\n mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}\n \/* Style Definitions *\/\np.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal\n {mso-style-unhide:no;\n mso-style-qformat:yes;\n mso-style-parent:\"\";\n margin:0in;\n margin-bottom:.0001pt;\n mso-pagination:widow-orphan;\n font-size:12.0pt;\n font-family:\"Times New Roman\";\n mso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";}\np.StyleArial11ptBoldCenteredLinespacing15lines, li.StyleArial11ptBoldCenteredLinespacing15lines, div.StyleArial11ptBoldCenteredLinespacing15lines\n {mso-style-name:\"Style Arial 11 pt Bold Centered Line spacing:  1.5 lines\";\n mso-style-unhide:no;\n mso-style-link:\"Style Arial 11 pt Bold Centered Line spacing:  1.5 lines Char\";\n margin-top:8.0pt;\n margin-right:0in;\n margin-bottom:4.0pt;\n margin-left:0in;\n text-align:center;\n mso-pagination:widow-orphan;\n font-size:11.0pt;\n mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;\n font-family:Arial;\n mso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";\n mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";\n font-weight:bold;}\nspan.StyleArial11ptBoldCenteredLinespacing15linesChar\n {mso-style-name:\"Style Arial 11 pt Bold Centered Line spacing:  1.5 lines Char\";\n mso-style-unhide:no;\n mso-style-locked:yes;\n mso-style-link:\"Style Arial 11 pt Bold Centered Line spacing:  1.5 lines\";\n mso-ansi-font-size:11.0pt;\n font-family:Arial;\n mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;\n mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;\n font-weight:bold;}\n.MsoChpDefault\n {mso-style-type:export-only;\n mso-default-props:yes;\n font-size:10.0pt;\n mso-ansi-font-size:10.0pt;\n mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;}\n@page WordSection1\n {size:8.5in 11.0in;\n margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;\n mso-header-margin:.5in;\n mso-footer-margin:.5in;\n mso-paper-source:0;}\ndiv.WordSection1\n {page:WordSection1;}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;
