With orders of $44.6 million at full retail shipping in August, the market had its second best month in 16 years in non-inflation-adjusted dollar terms, led only by the previous May.
Both
August 2012 and August 2011 had five shipping weeks, and the previous August 31 saw the release of Justice League #1, the first of the DC relaunch titles. Nonetheless, the market handily beat that month's mark with 900,000 more copies of the Top 300 comics ordered, an increase of 15%.
Avengers Vs. X-Men #9 was the top-selling issue of the month. July's blockbuster, Walking Dead #100, charted again with nearly 22,000 copies sold in its second month of release. Not only did the new Walking Dead issue, #101 chart, but so did #97-99, so the anniversary event brought attention to the title's other issues.
As happens with five-week months, more titles had more time on the market to ship issues — but even compared with other five-week months, August's "bench" was deep. The 300th-place title set a Diamond Exclusive Era record for that position, with Dark Horse's Strain #7 selling approximately 5,376 copies.
