March 2013 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops
Estimated Comics Shipped to North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
March was a blockbuster month relative to previous years. Shops in North America ordered $41.3 million worth of comics and graphic novels in March, beating the previous year's total by nearly 23%. Heavy discounting on graphic novels played a role.
The first quarter of the year wasn't able to top the last quarter of 2012, but it made a good run at it, coming in at around $122 million versus $128 million for the fourth quarter. And whereas the first quarter of 2012 had 13 shipping weeks, the first quarter of 2013 only had 12, because the comics that shipped first week of January were invoiced to retailers in December and not counted with 2013.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 led the market, with orders topping 200,000 copies.

The Top 300 graphic novels posted nearly $9 million in sales, the highest figure for that category ever. However, the figures this month were distorted considerably by heavy discounting. Marvel sold several million dollars worth of hardcovers to retailers in a sale, inflating the total retail value of books sold.
