\"\"<\/a>With Diamond Comic Distributors<\/b> soon to announce its 2009 year-end sellers<\/b><\/a> and market shares, The Comics Chronicles<\/b> is also beginning to post some of Diamond’s year-end tables from previous years, beginning with 2007<\/b><\/a>. More years will be soon to follow. Some years have a full 300 entries; earlier ones have fewer. But all show something we can’t see just from looking at the monthly comics reports<\/b><\/a>, because the year-end tallies include all reorders that individual comics and trade paperbacks garnered throughout the year.<\/p>\n

2007, as the link shows, was the year that featured the end of Civil War<\/a>\"\", <\/span><\/i>the death of Captain America,\u00a0<\/span><\/i>and World War Hulk<\/a><\/b><\/i>\"\". Thanks largely to these titles, Marvel took the #1 spot on Diamond’s Top 300 all twelve months of the year. These sales contributed to the year’s 9% increase in overall sales over 2006.<\/p>\n

Since Diamond does not provide indexed figures with its year-end reports, these tables are simply rankings without estimates. The end-of-decade page<\/b><\/a> does feature aggregated unit sales estimates for several of the highest-ranking issues, but, again, since not all months of reorders appear in Diamond’s Top 300, those figures are slightly lower than the actual numbers of copies shipped.<\/p>\n
