Absolute as usual>by units>These are unit and dollar sales rankings based on sales tracked at point-of-sale by the ComicHub and Comic Shop Assistant POS systems at stores selling American comics around the world. During the period for which these reports were generated, there were over 225 stores using the two systems. As this is a small, non-random sample of over 3,000 stores selling American comics worldwide, these rankings may not be typical for all stores but do represent a variety of locations and store emphases.>This data was collected based on a five-week month, from May 3 – May 30, 2026. These sales rankings represent sales to consumers by comic stores during the period.>ComicHub, used by around 125 stores, is a retail management and ecommerce platform built specifically for comic book and pop culture stores, combining point-of-sale, inventory management, subscriptions, customer engagement, and online sales into a single integrated system.

>>154162517>7 of the top 10 are DCMarvel getting GAPED no lube
>>154162517PSA: Prana has their own direct market sales data which apparently is sourced from 600 stores as opposed to icv2's 200. Here's last months top 50
>>154162804Cool, the more data the merrier.
>>154162804Forgot the link, scroll to the bottomhttps://us8.campaign-archive.com/?u=fcf336c115dd96a297e1a9460&id=a5a1bf5beb
>>154162804>Web of Venom at #9Interesting
>>154163070How is dark horse so washed. I feel like if they actually tried they could be part of ‘the big 3’
>>154163211Too inconsistent.
>ComicHub
>>154162517>Daredevil still that highThat is legitimately surprising, I thought it was gonna sink like a stone after the initial blind bags
>>154163211Unironically a huge chunk of their sales come from having the Berserk license at this point.
>>154164430DC trounce Marvel in trade collections, so them being above Marvel in monthly comic sales means they're absolutely reaming them in every metric, Marvel puts out more books too so they're spending more to make less.
>>154164646It's not a bad book, and they just had the new season of the show, there is a lot going for it imo. The new Alias book didn't even make the list though, complete flop
One last bump, it always bums me out a little that these threads die on the vine, I find the topic interesting, but I can't really fault anyone for not being interested it's a little dry and most of the anons on here don't buy comic books, hell most don't even read them they're cartoon fans.
>>154166557Lots of good comic threads die. The bulk of /co/ seem to be cartoon fans, particularly the new age stuff like hazbin hotel
>>154166678I hate to harp on it, but I really wish there was a separate board for both comics and cartoons, I'd take a slower comic board any day over the endless Glitch threads.
>>154166701Agreed. I hope Absolute Batman’s success translates to a larger comic community down the line. DC’s compact comics line is also genius. 10 bucks for a whole book instead of the usual 30. Even floppies can rack up a big bill. They should really capitalize on this with an absolute Batman cartoon, like they do in Japan
>>154162804>Daredevil that highIs whatever this new run of his good or is this more first issue hype?
>>154166839Bit of both, new run is pretty servicable.
>>154162521>Godzilla vs TexasReally?
>>154166944They keep making endless Godzilla books someone must be buying them.
>>154166944Get on the zilla train chump. (I’ve never read a single one)
>>154166964Yeah, they've been great. Monsterpiece Theater has been amazing.But these Godzilla vs (Insert City/State Here) books have more of a niche appeal.
>>154166976Two of the Marvel Vs Godzilla issues were good (the Hulk and Thor ones,) the rest were absolute dogshit, including the limited series where the whole Marvel universe was involved.
>>154167001Godzilla seems pretty one note to me, unless they go the cosmic horror route like in shin Godzilla, where he continuously evolves until eventually he becomes some sort of Lovecraftian god. I would read the hell out of a skull island comic tho. You could have so much fun exploring all the different fauna, and ancient civilizations
>>154167116They've done that. A couple times.
>>154167126Oh lol
We live in an era where Martian Manhunter is selling better than Spider-Man and the X-Men.
>>154162804>>154163070>taken from a week of the earliest MayFeels more like an April's data.
>>154169303I'm a dumbass and meant the report from last month, so april's data yeah
>>154167964Love to see it
>>154163211All the old licenses that kept them relevant are gone.
>>154162517>>154162735>Marvel gettingWhen a Ben10 book is outselling the books from main 'true belieber' characters like the first family, the x-dudes/dudetees and the Iron Manlet, Disney really should put a lot of these people out to pasture and stop wasting water and paper. They could be wasting those resources on Goofy, Donald and Daisy.
>>154170846Ben10 was always going to sell well though, it's a legacy brand with nothing else coming out for it, and it's a reboot based on the original show. The book is kind of shit, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.
>>154170846Ben 10 #1 has a blindbag
Would like another cyk miniseries by Panakel
>>154167964Feels good man
>>154162517Damn is absolute wondy good or something or does she have a diehard fanbase I never knew existed?
>>154173716It's good unless you browse /co/ where people will tell you it's bad and/or woke without explaining why
>>154173781I can explain why it's bad just through this page alone.>Steve Trevor looks like a butch lesbian>aggravating dialogue "She's X. She's made herself an X.">explaining to the audience what a Medusa is as if they were children because apparently they don't teach Greek mythology in public schools anymore>scolding Greek gods for victim blaming and claiming that maybe it was just bullshit Greek chuds made up
>>154166839We are living in a variatn covers world. Also he has spider-man as guess star in the first few issue
>>154174110Yikes.
>>154174110Sherman's Batman comic was better.
>>154162517>Absolute as usual
>>154177445Total DC (Detective Comics) Comics domination
>>154163211it's not even their actual quality anymore, it's comic fans only knowing about "the big two"
>>154162517how's 2000ad?
>>154177484Vertigo was great in the 90s, this is just running on fumes https://www.darkhorse.com/search/berger/
>>154177484what's Dark Horse doing expect licensing and Hellboy's spin offs?>>154177445every time you post this I think "why is Kate Bishop there"
>>154178005Losing Conan was a fumble
>>154163211What do they even have anymore?
>>154178206Hellboy and Hellboy accessories
>>154178039And Star Wars and Aliens and Predator and Buffy and...
>>154169359>>154169303May's data
Sad to see transformers dropping.Also, how long will the Absolute train keep going?
>>154162517As always: sad...
>>154178505It's crazy how far Nightwing fell once Taylor and Redondo left the title.Brombal Titans is basically DOA.
>>154178319>Hellboy and Hellboy accessoriesGrim. Can't even capitalize on that by spreading much beyond the comics.
>>154173716Yeah Absolute Wonder Woman is easily the best Absolute book. It's really good, it won best new ongoing last year at the Eisner awards

Batgirl needs more love
>>154170846Ben 10 is pretty popular and people always wanted a more mature take on the series
>>154182883Third best.
>>154183070Babs didn't even make top 10 with a number 1.Batwoman is almost out the top 50 with just 3 issues.Batgirl is cooked.
>>154183124Yeah, but buying licensed shit is retardation beyond even capefaggotry.
