Another calendar month has passed inwards the globe of comics pregnant nosotros convey a fresh batch of comic sales to hold off over, as well as some estimated sales figures to larn alongside them. In this article we'll move looking at how some of the novel Marvel NOW! titles are faring (including Nova as well as Guardians of the Galaxy), every bit good every bit some of DC's latest New 52 titles (Vibe, Katana as well as more). We'll besides move predicting which Marvel titles could move some cancellation.

First, here's the top 10 books of in conclusion month:

Marvel NOW!: Last Month's New Titles & Marvel's Lowest Selling Books

Last month, every bit you lot tin come across above, the best-selling Marvel NOW! debuts were Uncanny X-Men #1 (which came inwards at No. 2 alongside over 175,000 copies sold), as well as Secret Avengers #1 (which was inwards at No. 10 alongside over 85,000 copies sold).

Outside the top 10, the side yesteryear side best selling Marvel NOW! start number was Nova #1 which came inwards at No. fourteen alongside nearly 81,000 copies sold. Guardians of the Milky Way #0.1 followed closely behind at No. fifteen alongside simply over 80,000 copies - impressive for a squad non many people knew much nigh simply 1 twelvemonth ago.
The Fearless Defenders #1 - Marvel's all-female super-team - was the lowest Marvel NOW! debut of in conclusion month, but soundless came inwards at a really respectable No. thirty alongside over 50,000 copies sold.

So, similar a shot onto some of Marvel's lower selling titles. These titles may non move on cancellation picket simply yet, withal if their sales don't alternative upwards a combat soon, thus they mightiness non in conclusion much longer.
The first, as well as newest endangered title, is Morbius: The Living Vampire which afterwards simply 2 issues is failing to brand an demeanour upon on the chart. Last month's instant number had almost 20,000 less readers than the start - coming inwards at No. 86 - as well as if the championship keeps losing readers at that charge per unit of measurement thus it is doomed.

Next is the critically acclaimed Captain Marvel by Kelly Sue DeConnick. Despite the proficient reviews the serial has been getting, in conclusion month's #10 had simply 18,000 readers. That's a relatively depression number, as well as alongside Marvel of late cancelling Age of Apocalypse - a championship that sold over 17,500 copies in conclusion calendar month - it seems Captain Marvel could move some the chopping block. Equally unopen are the terminal 2 endangered titles Dark Avengers (which sold simply over 18,000 copies) and Red She-Hulk (which sold under 18,000 copies).

DC Comics - The New 52! What's Selling?

Last month, DC released a bunch of novel titles inwards their New 52 line. As you lot convey seen yesteryear now, Justice League of America unsurprisingly was the best selling championship non simply of the novel books but besides of the entire calendar month - it sold over 300,000 copies which is huge for a comic book.
Unfortunately, it was the exclusively #1 from DC to brand a existent demeanour upon on the chart. The side yesteryear side best-selling debut was Justice League of America's Vibe but that exclusively managed to nautical chart at No. 78 which is a hugely disappointing entry for a novel title, peculiarly 1 tied alongside the massively pop JLA.
The same storey goes for the side yesteryear side novel championship Katana which manages to motility into at a weaker soundless No. 80. Both Vibe and Katana sold simply over 27,000 copies.
This doesn't fill upwards me alongside promise for these 2 series' going forward.

There are 2 to a greater extent than DC Comics - The New 52 books I desire to spotlight earlier nosotros complete this article - One that had a novel lease of life given to it in conclusion month, as well as 1 that is doing surprisingly poorly.

First, I'd similar to give a paw to Jeff Lemire as well as Andrea Sorrentino for making the Green Arrow series relevant again. After a lot of bad issues the serial was actually starting to diminish inwards sales - Ann Nocenti's terminal number sold less than 20,000 copies ranking No. 100 - in conclusion calendar month though it jumped upwards to No. 57 alongside over 36,000 copies sold. Once over again Jeff Lemire proves that he is 1 of DC's hottest talents.

On the flip-side, is The Phantom Stranger. This is a serial that seems to convey some ties to DC's upcoming resultant The Trinity War, withal that doesn't seem to move helping its sales - ranking No. 112 in conclusion calendar month alongside simply over 18,000 copies sold. I experience similar DC in all probability won't cancel it for a field purely because of its connectedness alongside the event, withal 1 time The Trinity War wraps upwards I experience this volition move the start serial to go.

That's all the sales for this month, move certain to come upwards dorsum side yesteryear side calendar month for more!
