The recovery which began in the comics industry in late 2000 continued, with overall comics, trade, and magazine sales are estimated at $288.42 million through October 2005, versus $269 million through the same month in 2004.
Helped by the estimated 249,100 copies of Infinite Crisis #1 ordered by retailers, DC managed a rare feat, leading Marvel in every single category calculated: Top 300 Comics units, Top 300 Comics dollars, Top 300 Comics plus Top 100 Trades, and the Overall category, which includes backlist trades and comics not in the Top 300. While it came close in May of 2005, DC last led Marvel in all calculations in August 2000.
There were only two publishers new to the Top 300. Zenescope was the highest ranking publisher debut, with its Grimm’s Fairy Tales #1 placing 197th with approximately 6,100 copies ordered. It was the beginning of a long run for the title. The first comics product from former Marvel President Bill Jemas’s new firm, 360ep, placed 242nd with approximately 3,400 copies ordered. The issue, Advent Rising: Rock Planet #1, was based on the Majesco video game.
Diamond did not release the dollar sales rankings for the comics in 101st through 300th place this month.

October 2005 Graphic Novel Sales to Comics Shops
Estimated Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks Shipped to North American Comics Shops Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
This list includes all items on Diamond's Top 100 Graphic Novel chart. If you don't see a book, Diamond released no data for it.
The links lead to title details on Amazon (paid links). You can also find the books at your comics shop.
Among trade paperbacks, Vertigo First Offenses was the top seller. Essentially a DC 100-page giant at $4.99, its inclusion in this category was unusual, since similarly sized items (and at higher prices) had been customarily been classed by Diamond with the comic books.
