August 2008 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops
Estimated Comics Shipped to North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
August continued the pattern in which the Direct Market was doing slightly worse than last year most months in the periodical categories, but slightly better most months in the trade paperbacks. The market finished the month $10 million behind in the Top 300 year-to-date, almost $2 million ahead in the Top 100 trades in the year-to-date — and then the rest is made up by comics and trades outside the top groupings. The January-to-August total for 2008 was just $47,000 higher than the total for the same period from the previous year — about the contribution of a single issue of a single mid-list comic book!
This was also the first month in some time where Marvel had so many more items than DC on the list — 19. (They weren't all new titles, and a lot were variant covers and second printings.)
August 2008 saw a major database crash and consequent forced redesign at Comichron, as mentioned in our later-than-usual original report from the month. You can also click to skip to the Top Graphic Novels for the month.
