Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Diamond Comic Distributors suspended the release of new comics with on-sale dates beginning with April 1, and shipments of new releases were not slated to begin again until May 20.
In the interim, DC announced on
April 17 that a limited slate of titles would be available for late April from UCS Comics Distributors and Lunar Distribution, distribution firms that had been set up for the purpose by sister companies to the mail-order retailers Midtown Comics and DCBS (Discount Comic Book Service) respectively. Previous orders through Diamond for those comics were canceled by DC and retailers were asked to submit new orders.
It turned out not to be an interim solution, but a historic shift. After nearly four decades of distribution and 25 years of exclusivity, on June 5 DC announced that it was cutting ties with Diamond altogether, forcing retailers who wanted its comics to go through Lunar or UCS, and to Random House for its graphic novels.
Diamond continued to ship DC comics for the rest of June, and the publisher released a much larger slate than its rivals did. Comichron's analysis suggests that DC's market share of comic books — not including graphic novels — ordered would have surpassed 70% of all comics ordered, and that it would have taken the top five slots both at Diamond and when all distributors are combined. Dark Nights: Death Metal #1 appears to have been the top ordered title, with Batman #92 — which DC held back until the Diamond restart — taking second when its versions were combined. The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular, one of three such editions in the month, would have been the title in dollars.
In addition to the changing volume of new offerings, many comics were made returnable or deeply discounted by their publishers during the month — all of which would have greatly complicated the chart-generation procedures Diamond has employed for decades. Traditional charting under such conditions would have been both more dificult logistically, and less likely to yield clear-cut results. As such, the distributor has yet to release monthly sales charts for June.
In their absence, Comichron has drawn upon a subset of known retail orders both to determine approximate rankings and to project the relative order volumes of comic-book releases. The subset represents a sizable number of copies, but it is not possible at present to know what portion of the overall population of store orders it represents, particularly as many stores were closed, had their accounts on hold, or had not established accounts with DC's distributors. Only periodicals were examined, and order totals are believed to be as of Final Order Cutoff. No statistical adjustments have been made for returnability and no later returns have been subtracted out.
The chart below features every new comic book released by Diamond into the Direct Market in June 2020. Variant editions have been merged into single entries, following longtime industry practice. The release dates are from Diamond; note that many titles had already been released earlier by DC's distributors. (See the DC distributors' June 2020 orders in isolation here.)
The order volumes are expressed in relation to Justice League #46, which has been chosen as the order index issue this month for Diamond and DC's distributors. (There are Justice League issues without cardstock variants in the May and June lists for both Diamond and DC's distributors, so it's a good choice if you're trying to refer between charts.) For every 100 copies of Justice League #46 ordered in the subset, for example, there were 138 copies of Immortal Hulk #34.
Note that even though the chart below is for Diamond specifically, reliable breakdowns of which DC copies came from
Diamond and which from UCS and Lunar cannot be made for the May-June period where sales overlapped. The DC figures reported (all marked with asterisks) are based on the publisher's industrywide sales; the DC sales just for Diamond would be lower.
DC offered 10 comic books with cardstock variants at a different price, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #50 had a higher-priced foil version; their sales have been fused by default below. You can find the component versions at the bottom of the chart, or by sorting by "Units" to see where its variants would have placed. Another cardstock comic book, Flash #754, appears without a regular variant because that version shipped in May. Its sales can be found there.
The dollar rankings are based on the totals of the fused entries.
Market shares: The market share charts, seen in the column at left, are of a variety that has long appeared on Comichron: they refer only to the top-selling comics (just the 248 new issues released in May, in this case), with no graphic novels included. Further, they resemble the charts that appeared before 2003 in that the charts look only at initial and same-month orders for new releases; reorders and reprints of previous months' comics are not included.
We project DC's unit share of the Top 91 new comics to be 60%, once orders across Diamond, UCS, and Lunar are combined; its dollar share is 67%. That dwarfs Marvel's 12% and 10% respectively. As in May, it was the lightness of Marvel's slate that played a large part: Marvel had only 14 new comics out, to DC's 64 — and unlike in May, it had few heavy-hitters.
To underscore, graphic novels are not included in these
projected shares. Actual market shares would differ considerably, most especially in the case of Dark Horse, which had 40 graphic novel releases but only one comic book out in June.
Other things to remember: The retail order subset represents a sizable number of copies, but it is not possible at present to know what portion of the overall population of store orders it represents, particularly as many stores were closed, had their accounts on hold, or had not established accounts with DC's distributors. For example, Justice League had been seeing Diamond orders of more than 40,000 copies per issue in North America the first quarter of 2020, but we do not advise using that number to extrapolate overall sales for other titles — not until we have a better idea how the market size has changed.
We're sticking with whole numbers until we have a better handle on the margin of error. As such, note that a difference of a single point on the chart may not be meaningful, due to rounding. Projections for issues at the lower extremes are thus subject to more error due to the small quantities involved; while we rank such titles, we usually mark them with "no estimate" for that reason. Projected relative sales levels here are likely most reliable for regular series issues in the middle of the chart: orders for the highest sellers and first issues may tend to show more variation.
Rankings in these charts should also be expected to differ — often significantly — from the sales-to-consumers charts available at other outlets. Those report sell-through and not sell-in, and different retailers are sampled in each, with no known overlap in reporting stores as of the generation of the below charts.
As is the case with all data on Comichron,
it is subject to revision without notice in the event more authoritative and complete information about orders becomes available.

This list includes all comic books released by Direct Market Distributors in the month.
The Order Index by each comic book indicates how many copies were ordered within a known subset of retailer orders for every 100 Justice League #46s that were ordered industrywide.
The stats for DC items are based on industrywide totals; Diamond's totals would be lower.
"No est." appears beside titles where we're making no Order Index estimate, but titles are still ranked.

June 2020 Graphic Novel Sales to Comics Shops
Diamond did not release monthly totals of its graphic novel sales, but it is known that the number of graphic novels released to the Direct Market exploded in June.
At least 419 new graphic novels were released, which was well over number of new comic books released — and far more than the 132 graphic novels that came out in May. That glut would get even worse in July; book distributors had not paused during the initial Coronavirus outbreak, leading to a bottleneck of graphic novels shipping to the Direct Market during the spring.
The Doomsday Clock Part 2 Hardcover with Slipcase, released June 16 at UCS and June 24 at Diamond, is a good bet to have been the top ordered new graphic novel in initial-ordered units.
Some more information about Diamond's graphic novel sales can be found in its reorders.
