John Jackson Miller has your fix here, with the Top 400 Comics, plus some small press books lower in the charts, and the Top 300 Trade Paperbacks, with one small presser from down the charts. Some commentary as well, over here.
John Mayo has his version at CBR, with the added information he puts on issue-to-issue comparisons for the comics and cumulative sales on the Trades chart. His commentary here.
ICV2 has their version here (Comics) and here (Graphic Novels). Commentary article here.
I really need to settle on a consistent way to refer to that second chart...
The most immediately notable thing is AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2014 SERIES) #1, at 532k, definitely the highest single month sales of any comic charting in the Diamond exclusive era, maybe on track to be the best selling period when all is said and done. That should have a spectacular second issue drop, maybe also a record. Speaking of which, some very impressive second issue falls this time, like 64% for MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER, already under 10k. Pool on how long this Gold Key revival lasts? Valiant is also all below 10k except their one first issue this month, but it took them almost two years to get there.
Looks like a more typical month on the Graphic Books chart, without any evidence of a massive sale like the last few months. 150 items are new, 150 are backlist. SAGA is doing stunningly well, with the top three backlist entries, the first book has passed 100k just in sales visible on the Diamond charts, and the third book, which placed behind the newest WALKING DEAD last month, has now outsold that WD book in cumulative sales.
More in the week to come.
