A few thoughts on some of the new series on the June 2014 charts.
OUTCAST #1 (IMA) - 71.8k
This was returnable, so it probably shipped closer to 80k in North America, plus no doubt a good amount to other markets, I wouldn't be surprised if this reports sales over 100k by the end of the year. It'll be interesting to see if this follows the standard current Image trends of a 30-40% drop with #2.
ORIGINAL SIN 3.x #1 (MAR) - 45.3k
Confusingly numbered tie-in to the current crossover from Marvel, not selling great compared to the main series, but better than the regular Hulk and Iron Man books that it most closely connects with.
SAVAGE HULK #1 (MAR) - 44.2k
The main Hulk title isn't likely to sell more than 35-40k these days, so you'd expect a spin-off to be doing good selling 25-30k, which this will be within a few issues.
WICKED & DIVINE #1 (IMA) - 42.9k
Strong start for an Image book, especially compared to the sub-5k sales on previous Image books by the same creators before their recent Marvel work.
ORIGINAL SINS #1 (MAR) - 39.7k
Also confusingly numbered as a plural of the parent series, selling about half the level of the main series.
BATMAN 66 MEETS GREEN HORNET #1 (DC) - 33k
A "digital first" book, but with a much smaller digital exclusive window than most of DC's digital first books (just a few weeks), and with an interesting hook. Should continue to do well.
INFINITY MAN AND THE FOREVER PEOPLE #1 (DC) - 24.9k
I think this is the lowest launch of any New 52 "on going" title, below even books like GREEN TEAM. So far every book has been given at least eight issues before cancellation, but this might beat that.
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA #1 (BOO) - 24.2k
Seriously, this is a comic being published in 2014.
NEW VAMPIRELLA #1 (DE) - 22.9k
Doesn't really seem too different from old Vampirella.
ARMOR HUNTERS #1 (VAL) - 16.5k
TMNT TURTLES IN TIME #1 (IDW) - 13.8k
RISE OF THE MAGI #1 (IMA) - 13.3k
TINY TITANS RETURN TO THE TREEHOUSE #1 (DC) - 13k
The previous series maintained sales in the 7-8k range a couple of years ago, this might wind up slightly ahead of that.
FIGMENT #1 (MAR) - 12.7k
WILDFIRE #1 (IMA) - 12.6k
STAR TREK CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER #1 (IDW) - 12k
ANGRY BIRDS COMICS #1 (IDW) - 11.9k
BLOOD QUEEN #1 (DE) - 10.4k
CARTOON NETWORK SUPER SECRET CRISIS WAR #1 (IDW) - 10.2k
RED CITY #1 (IMA) - 9.9k
WINTERWORLD #1 (IDW) - 8k
EMPTY MAN #1 (BOO) - 7.7k
WITCHFINDER MYSTERIES OF UNLAND #1 (DAR) - 7.4k
SUPERANNUATED MAN #1 (IMA) - 7.3k
AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL #1 (BOO) - 7.3k
THOMAS ALSOP #1 (BOO) - 6.3k
PAINKILLER JANE 22 BRIDES #1 (MAR) - 6.1k
