Diamond's combined comics and trade paperback preorders for 2001 were slightly edged out those for 2000, but "long tail" sales almost certainly put 2001 ahead, breaking the long recession. December 2001 still improved on the same month of the previous year, thanks in large part to the phenomenal orders for Dark Knight Strikes Again #1.
