IDW&#8217;s <b><i>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/i><\/b> launch placed 48th, the highest debut outside of the Big Two.<\/p>\n<p>There will be much interest in in historical comparatives, so here are a couple of charts of interest. Diamond&#8217;s release said that <i>Justice League<\/i> #1 was the best-selling comic book of 2011 thus far, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comicsbeat.com\/2011\/09\/12\/all-week-2-and-3-new-52-books-go-back-to-press-10-topped-100k\/\"><b>DC has said that the title topped 200,000 copies in orders<\/b><\/a>, and that <b><i>Action Comics<\/i> Vol. 2 #1<\/b> in September had, with its second printing orders, done the same; it also said that from September, nine titles in total had topped 100,000 copies <i>\u2014<b> <\/b><b>Action, Batgirl, Batman, Batman and Robin, Batman: The Dark Knight, Detective Comics, Flash, Green Lantern<\/b><\/i>, and <i><b>Superman<\/b><\/i>. This does not count digital downloads, by the way \u2014 DC did not release specific data (and <i>The Comics Chronicles<\/i> focuses on reporting supply levels of physical books in print, anyway).<\/p>\n<p>To get a sense of where this lands historically, first, here&#8217;s what <b>the existing top-seller list for 2011<\/b> looked like, prior to August:<\/p>\n<p>1. Ultimate Spider-Man #160 (Jun-11) \u2022 Marvel \u2022 <b>166,944<\/b><br \/>\n2. Fantastic Four #587 (Jan-11) \u2022 Marvel \u2022 <b>144,173 <\/b><br \/>\n3. Fear Itself #1 (Apr-11) \u2022 Marvel \u2022 <b>135,746<\/b><br \/>\n4. Amazing Spider-Man #666 (Jul-11) \u2022 Marvel \u2022 <b>136,568<\/b><br \/>\n5. FF #1 (Mar-11) \u2022 Marvel \u2022 <b>121,171<\/b><br \/>\n6. Fear Itself (May-11) \u2022 Marvel \u2022 <b>101,692<\/b><br \/>\n7. Flashpoint #1 (May-11) \u2022 DC \u2022 <b>95,845<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The above figures include any second-or-later-month reorder figures that made the Top 300 and were published by Diamond. Later month orders can (and will) change the totals seen above. <i><b>Flashpoint<\/b><\/i> <b>#1<\/b> had yet to top 100,000 copies with reorders by July, and will be in the curious position of being a first issue in far scarcer supply than its final issue.<\/p>\n<p>The figures for the top sellers from 2010 can be seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comichron.com\/monthlycomicssales\/2010.html\"><b>here<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, here are the rankings for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comichron.com\/vitalstatistics\/topcomics2000s.html\"><b>the top sellers of the 2000s<\/b><\/a>. Readers may remember seeing this chart here, and it comes with some caveats. Before February 2003, it includes only first-month preorders. In the final-order era, it reflects no reorders that didn&#8217;t make the Top 300 in a month. The latter doesn&#8217;t change much, but the former is a big deal, because it means <b><i>Ultimate Spider-Man<\/i> #1<\/b> is shortchanged, among others. As we see below, the top title of 2010, <b>Avengers #1<\/b>, places 51st in the 21st Century list \u2014 and <b>Ultimate Spider-Man #160<\/b> places 63rd.<\/p>\n<style>\ntable {  }td { padding: 0px;
