August 2001 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops
Estimated Comics Preordered by North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
Over half of this month's preorders—$2.5 million dollars—came from Diamond's list of the Top 25 graphic novels, making this the best month for comics plus graphic novels since December 1998.
After a long run of years in which it frequently happened, this month would be the last time X-Men comics would finish 1-2 until House of X #1/Powers of X #1 in July 2019.
Diamond did release dollar rankings for the Top 300 comics; these will be added at a later date.

This list includes all items on Diamond's Top 300 charts, plus any post-#300 items from its Top Independent Publisher charts.
If you don't see a book, Diamond released no data for it.
Items marked (resolicited) were offered in an earlier month but never shipped; disregard any previously reported figure, as earlier orders were canceled when the books were resolicited.
