With the full DC relaunch coming in September, many Flashpoint titles were released by the publisher in July. While graphic novels and trade paperbacks were off 10% year-to-year, the unit orders for comic books for the month are within a few thousand copies of what they were in the previous July.
Despite its beastly numbering, Amazing Spider-Man #666 landed above 135,000 copies, and there were two more titles in the 90,000-copy range, which was an improvement on some of the more anemic months this year. The market didn't have as much depth, though, with the 300th-place title landing around 3,500 copies. That was much higher than in past years, just not as high as some recent months.

July 2011 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 300 Graphic Novel charts, plus any post-#300 items from its Top Independent and Manga charts. 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.
The drop in trade paperbacks is attributable in some large part to tough comparatives from the previous year: July 2010 saw a new Scott Pilgrim edition and high Pilgrim sales in advance of the film, a Walking Dead volume, and the Blackest Night hardcover. But the "long tail" made up for quite a bit: just comparing the Top 300 trades, July 2011was off $2.4 million, or 22%. The gap shrank to 10% when the rest of Diamond's trades were added in.
