Die ersten Charts, die aufgestellt wurden gingen über die Vorbestellzahlen, da damals Diamond die richtigen Zahlen nicht preisgaben, nahm man Batman als Initiator, Batman bekam die Zahl 100'000, die anderen Zahlen sind im Vergleich zu jener Zahl, heisst,
wenn jetzt Superman 75000 hat, bedeutet dies dass sich Superman 75% so oft verkauft hat als Batman, bedeutet wenn Batman sich 65000 mal verkauft hat Superman sich 48750 mal verkauft hat.

Sales of 16 of the top 25 comics fell in January, with only four titles demonstrating gains in the number of units sold. All four of the titles demonstrating gains were Marvels; Amazing Spider-Man #528, which provided the conclusion to The Other crossover event and hints at Spidey's new costume, had the biggest percentage gain though a couple additional The Other-related titles, Peter David's Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Reginald Hudlin's Marvel Knights Spider-Man, also posted solid increases. Fans in the comic book blogosphere have been merciless in their dissection of The Other, but it does appear to have spurred sales.
Marvel also managed to land the first issue of three new mini-series (Ultimate Extinction #1, X-Men 198 #1, and X-Men End Men & X-Men #1) in the top 25. DC Comics held onto the top 2 spots on the list while placing 9 books in the top 25 (the rest were all Marvels). In dollar terms January was a good month for DC, which closed the gap in overall dollar market share with Marvel from 5 points in December to just under 1.5 points in January.
Dark Horse's Serenity topped the graphic novel list with just over 8,000 sold. DC dominated the graphic novel top 10 with seven titles (including the DC Universe Stories of Alan Moore, which came in second), while Dark Horse had two and Marvel one.
Zitat:
Sales of comic periodicals and graphic novels were both up substantially in January when compared with the first month in 2005. Comic periodicals jumped an impressive 19%, while graphic novels grew by 15%. A substantial portion of the increase in periodical sales was due to year-over-year price increases, but the number of units sold also rose.
Typically January is a month when sales slow down and periodical sales did register a 17% decline from December to January, but graphic novel sales declined only 7.7% thanks to a strong list of titles debuting in January including Dark Horse's Serenity, which took the top spot.
Combined comic and graphic novel sales in the direct market were up a whopping 19% from January of 2005. Combined comic and graphic novel sales declined 15.6 % from December, but the drop was far smaller than what occurred in the first month of 2005 when sales slipped a dramatic 26.5% from December of 2004.
Re: Monatliche Verkaufszahlen: Top 300 Issues / Top 100 TPB's
Marvel's big event for the month is the concluding chapters of Spider-Man crossover "The Other", but there's also the launch of Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen's NEXTWAVE to watch out for. Plus there's a whole range of new miniseries - ARES, DAUGHTERS OF THE DRAGON, DEAD GIRL, DOC SAMSON, NEW X-MEN, SABLE & FORTUNE, SENTINEL SQUAD O*N*E, ULTIMATE EXTINCTION, X-MEN: THE 198 and the third volume of X-MEN: THE END all make their debut.
Once again, Marvel edge out DC in dollar share, but only by 36.79% to 35.30%. In unit share, the margin is much more comfortable - 42.17% to 37.35%. It's worth mentioning, as well, that Marvel had an unusually high number of missing books this month. A whopping sixteen titles are down in the "Skip month" section for January, double the number for December. Of those, one is on hiatus, two are bimonthly, and one is... well, KABUKI, which ships when the moon is waxing and the bamboo is ripe. But that still leaves twelve comics that failed to turn up as advertised, compared to just five in the previous month.
As always, thanks to Milton Griepp and ICV2 for permission to use their figures for these calculations.
Once again, DC take the top two slots with INFINITE CRISIS #4 and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN #2. So we pick up with...
3. NEW AVENGERS Jan 02 Avengers #50 - 56,009 Jan 03 Avengers #63 - 55,447 Jan 04 n/a ====== Jan 05 New Avengers #2 - 155,742 (-44.3%) Feb 05 New Avengers #3 - 148,973 ( -4.3%) Mar 05 New Avengers #4 - 158,303 ( +6.3%) Apr 05 New Avengers #5 - 168,556 ( +6.5%) May 05 n/a Jun 05 New Avengers #6 - 164,592 ( -2.4%) Jul 05 New Avengers #7 - 158,693 ( -3.6%) Aug 05 New Avengers #8 - 156,037 ( -1.7%) Aug 05 New Avengers #9 - 147,501 ( -5.5%) Sep 05 New Avengers #10 - 143,014 ( -3.0%) Sep 05 New Avengers #11 - 134,125 ( -6.2%) Oct 05 New Avengers #12 - 130,110 ( -3.0%) Nov 05 New Avengers #13 - 126,148 ( -3.0%) Dec 05 New Avengers #14 - 126,583 ( +0.3%) Jan 06 New Avengers #15 - 121,758 ( -3.8%) 6 mnth (-23.3%) 1 year (-21.8%)
Issue #14 picks up 2,283 re-orders, which are included in the numbers above. Strangely enough, this means the book has now gone slightly up from the previous month. It doesn't affect the overall trend, though, as the book continues to slip back from its initial high sales. Of course, a lot of the drop-off is due to the variant covers programme ending, and the book is still selling more than twice as many copies as it used to in its previous incarnation, so there's plenty to be happy about here.
The final month of "The Other" sees a healthy climb. AMAZING is always the highest selling Spider-Man book, and also had the advantage in January of being promoted as a key issue in the storyline. Meanwhile, variant covers continue to top up the sales of earlier issues: issue #526 picks up another 8,995 copies to chart at number 158, and issue #527 sells a further 10,661 to chart at number 146.
With the earlier chapters, the variant covers were released on a delayed schedule so that they didn't show up until the next month's chart. This time round, the variants seem to have made it out during January. But nonetheless, it's still a significant increase over earlier months of the same story - unequivocally a success.
6. ULTIMATE GALACTUS TRILOGY Jan 05 n/a Feb 05 Ultimate Nightmare #5 (of 5) - 73,082 ( -4.6%) Mar 05 Ultimate Secret #1 (of 4) - 89,132 (+22.0%) Apr 05 Ultimate Secret #2 (of 4) - 77,914 (-12.6%) May 05 n/a Jun 05 n/a Jul 05 n/a Aug 05 n/a Sep 05 Ultimate Secret #3 (of 4) - 67,046 (-13.9%) Oct 05 Ultimate Secret #4 (of 4) - 64,909 ( -3.2%) Nov 05 n/a Dec 05 n/a Jan 06 Ultimate Extinction #1 (of 5) - 82,721 (+27.4%) 6 mnth ( n/a ) 1 year (+13.2%)
The much-delayed Ultimate Galactus Trilogy continues with ULTIMATE EXTINCTION. Once again, retailers seem happy to treat it as a fresh issue #1 and bump the orders up considerably - although not quite to the levels of ULTIMATE SECRET #1 last March. Still a very healthy number, and the highest of this month's Ultimate books (though ULTIMATES would have been higher if it had shipped).
frag mich immer wieso Hämdler glauben, dass irgend jemand Vol.3 kaufen wird, wenn er 1 und 2 nicht gekauft hat
7. UNCANNY X-MEN Jan 02 Uncanny X-Men #402 - 101,145 Jan 03 Uncanny X-Men #417 - 83,921 Jan 04 Uncanny X-Men #438 - 88,490 ====== Jan 05 Uncanny X-Men #454 - 87,411 ( -2.8%) Feb 05 Uncanny X-Men #455 - 88,920 ( +1.7%) Feb 05 Uncanny X-Men #456 - 86,767 ( -2.4%) Mar 05 Uncanny X-Men #457 - 86,365 ( -0.5%) Apr 05 Uncanny X-Men #458 - 85,299 ( -1.2%) May 05 Uncanny X-Men #459 - 83,547 ( -2.1%) Jun 05 Uncanny X-Men #460 - 82,457 ( -1.3%) Jun 05 Uncanny X-Men #461 - 91,221 (+10.6%) Jul 05 Uncanny X-Men #462 - 91,125 ( -0.1%) Aug 05 Uncanny X-Men #463 - 87,610 ( -3.9%) Sep 05 Uncanny X-Men #464 - 85,885 ( -2.0%) Oct 05 Uncanny X-Men #465 - 84,271 ( -1.9%) Nov 05 Uncanny X-Men #466 - 82,825 ( -1.7%) Dec 05 Uncanny X-Men #467 - 81,282 ( -1.9%) Jan 06 Uncanny X-Men #468 - 79,808 ( -1.8%) 6 mnth (-12.4%) 1 year ( -8.7%) 2 year ( -9.8%)
Another nominal Decimation crossover, although the connection is less than obvious on the page. It makes no difference to sales, anyhow. A new creative team is just around the corner.
More of "The Other." December's issue #3 ships another 8,995 in variant covers, to place at number 159. Issue #4, on the other hand, gets its variants onto this month's chart.
These are very healthy numbers for the opening of a new title, obviously, and now the question is what happens when it turns into an ordinary book. February's issue #5 will be the first issue without the benefit of a crossover tie-in.
fragt sich wie tief es nach The Other fallen wird 9. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN Jan 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #10 - 61,831 ( -4.1%) Feb 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #11 - 60,460 ( -2.2%) Mar 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #12 - 59,983 ( -0.8%) Apr 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #13 - 60,542 ( +0.9%) May 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #14 - 57,270 ( -5.4%) Jun 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #15 - 54,102 ( -5.5%) Jul 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #16 - 50,876 ( -6.0%) Aug 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #17 - 48,555 ( -4.6%) Sep 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #18 - 47,654 ( -1.9%) Oct 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #19 - 75,461 (+58.4%) Nov 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #20 - 73,262 ( -2.9%) Dec 05 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #21 - 76,763 ( +4.8%) Jan 06 Marvel Knights Spider-Man #22 - 74,923 ( -2.4%) 6 mnth (+47.3%) 1 year (+21.2%)
The last issue under this title, before it changes its name to SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN in February. It's also bringing up the rear in the "Other" crossover for the fourth month in a row. As with the other Spider-Man books, the variant cover for this month's issue came out in time to be included in the number above, but delayed variants continue to top up sales from earlier months: issue #21 charts at number 164 with 8,440 more sales.
A second printing of issue #20 picks up 1,322 re-orders to chart at number 274. Those are probably more conventional re-orders, given that MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN was significantly under-ordered compared to other parts of the crossover.
Re-orders at that level often go unnoticed, because they don't make it into the top 300. In December, for example, the number 300 book sold 1,674 copies. But January was a very quiet month - the number 300 book, TWILIGHT WAR X #2, sold only 929. This means there are quite a few low-level re-orders clogging up the listings, which normally would have disappeared beneath the radar.
These are the lowest numbers we've seen on the charts since May 2005 (when DRAWN & QUARTERLY #8 scraped into the number 300 position on the strength of 860 copies). Every chart since then has stayed above the 1,000 mark.
Anyway. Back to superheroes!
10. X-MEN Jan 02 New X-Men #122 - 109,246 Jan 03 New X-Men #136 - 93,453 Jan 04 New X-Men #151 - 124,012 ====== Jan 05 X-Men #166 - 85,934 ( -0.8%) Feb 05 X-Men #167 - 84,155 ( -2.1%) Mar 05 X-Men #168 - 83,979 ( -0.2%) Apr 05 X-Men #169 - 82,793 ( -1.4%) May 05 X-Men #170 - 81,048 ( -2.1%) Jun 05 X-Men #171 - 80,307 ( -0.9%) Jun 05 X-Men #172 - 78,889 ( -1.8%) Jul 05 X-Men #173 - 77,154 ( -2.2%) Aug 05 X-Men #174 - 76,342 ( -1.1%) Sep 05 X-Men #175 - 76,555 ( +0.3%) Oct 05 X-Men #176 - 74,635 ( -2.5%) Nov 05 X-Men #177 - 78,405 ( +5.1%) Nov 05 X-Men #178 - 76,195 ( -2.8%) Dec 05 X-Men #179 - 77,189 ( +1.3%) Dec 05 X-Men #180 - 75,559 ( -2.1%) Jan 06 X-Men #181 - 74,094 ( -1.9%) 6 mnth ( -4.0%) 1 year (-13.8%) 2 year (-40.3%)
Drifting gently down. Next month sees an Apocalypse storyline, so we'll see if something a little more conventional can spike the sales. A change of creative team is also on the way.
Issue #180 picks up 1,173 re-orders to chart at number 287. Again, these are re-orders which would frequently fly beneath the radar, and they don't really affect the overall pattern.
miese Stories verkauft sich dennoch weiterhin gut
12. ULTIMATE X-MEN Jan 02 Ultimate X-Men #14 - 97,690 Jan 03 Ultimate X-Men #27 - 84,594 Jan 04 Ultimate X-Men #41 - 99,532 ====== Jan 05 Ultimate X-Men #54 - 90,619 ( -1.6%) Jan 05 Ultimate X-Men #55 - 87,447 ( -3.5%) Feb 05 Ultimate X-Men #56 - 86,130 ( -1.5%) Mar 05 Ultimate X-Men #57 - 83,835 ( -2.7%) Apr 05 Ultimate X-Men #58 - 82,606 ( -1.5%) May 05 Ultimate X-Men #59 - 81,321 ( -1.6%) Jun 05 Ultimate X-Men #60 - 78,613 ( -3.3%) Jul 05 Ultimate X-Men #61 - 87,094 (+10.8%) Aug 05 Ultimate X-Men #62 - 76,229 (-12.5%) Sep 05 Ultimate X-Men #63 - 74,760 ( -1.9%) Oct 05 Ultimate X-Men #64 - 75,118 ( +0.5%) Nov 05 Ultimate X-Men #65 - 74,264 ( -1.1%) Dec 05 n/a Jan 06 Ultimate X-Men #66 - 73,720 ( -0.7%) 6 mnth (-15.4%) 1 year (-18.6%) 2 year (-25.9%)
ULTIMATE X-MEN returns after a one-month hiatus with new creative team Robert Kirkman and Tom Raney. It doesn't seem to make any difference at all, which is probably good news for Marvel, suggesting that the title is strong enough now to hold up regardless of creator changes.
Marvel have made no secret of the fact that they were expecting bigger things of this book, which is why they've resorted to basically revealing the plot and yelling "Look, it's important, honest!" Sales level out a bit with issue #3, and they're certainly good numbers by most standards. But Marvel seem to have been hoping for this to be more of an event. The problem, perhaps, is that they churn out so many utterly skippable X-MEN miniseries - there's another one launching this month, for example - that it no longer even crosses anyone's mind that they might actually matter.
On the plus side, re-order activity is solid. Issue #1 picks up re-orders of 4,198 to chart at number 201 (albeit with multiple covers), and issue #2 picks up another 4,485 sales to chart at number 194. So perhaps retailers are starting to be convinced.
Continuing the downward drift. Issue #88 picks up 1,229 re-orders to chart at number 280.
15. WOLVERINE Jan 02 Wolverine #172 - 71,574 Jan 03 Wolverine #185 - 62,218 Jan 04 Wolverine #10 - 71,374 ====== Jan 04 Wolverine #24 - 81,618 ( -1.1%) Feb 05 Wolverine #25 - 83,180 ( +1.9%) Mar 05 Wolverine #26 - 108,677 (+30.7%) Apr 05 Wolverine #27 - 101,228 ( -6.9%) May 05 Wolverine #28 - 80,961 (-20.0%) Jun 05 Wolverine #29 - 79,951 ( -1.2%) Jul 05 Wolverine #30 - 76,651 ( -4.1%) Aug 05 Wolverine #31 - 75,618 ( -1.3%) Sep 05 Wolverine #32 - 89,026 (+17.7%) Sep 05 Wolverine #33 - 78,508 (-11.8%) Oct 05 Wolverine #34 - 75,664 ( -3.6%) Oct 05 Wolverine #35 - 73,684 ( -2.6%) Nov 05 Wolverine #36 - 94,355 (+28.1%) Dec 05 Wolverine #37 - 73,866 (-21.7%) Jan 06 Wolverine #38 - 70,944 ( -4.0%) 6 mnth ( -7.4%) 1 year (-13.1%) 2 year ( -0.6%)
Still dropping, and while 70,000 is far from a bad number, I remain deeply sceptical about the wisdom of spinning the storyline off into a separate series. Issue #37 picks up 3,150 reorders to chart at number 219, mind you, so maybe it's starting to get somewhere.
16. X-MEN: THE 198 Jan 06 The 198 #1 (of 5) - 68,698
Another month, another X-Men spin-off miniseries. This is a good debut number, possibly helped by the Decimation tie-in (although, as noted above, it hasn't made much difference to other titles).
wetten dass bei der 2ten Ausgabe gut 20% wenn nicht mehr wegspringen
21. ULTIMATE X-MEN/FANTASTIC FOUR Dec 05 Ultimate X-Men/Fantastic Four - 63,859 Jan 06 Ultimate Fantastic Four/X-Men - 60,489 (-5.3%)
The second half of the two-part crossover, and with sales holding up remarkably well for the second issue, Marvel's bizarre non-numbering strategy may have been vindicated. Last month's issue scrapes onto the chart at number 297 with re-orders of 954.
24. X-MEN: THE END Jan 05 n/a Feb 05 n/a Mar 05 Book Two #1 (of 6) - 71,230 ( +7.6%) Apr 05 Book Two #2 (of 6) - 63,005 (-11.5%) May 05 Book Two #3 (of 6) - 58,870 ( -6.6%) Jun 05 Book Two #4 (of 6) - 54,875 ( -6.8%) Jul 05 Book Two #5 (of 6) - 51,949 ( -5.3%) Aug 05 Book Two #6 (of 6) - 49,565 ( -4.6%) Sep 05 n/a Oct 05 n/a Nov 05 n/a Dec 05 n/a Jan 06 Book Three #1 (of 6) - 52,891 ( +6.7%) 6 mnth ( +1.8%)
The third and final volume of Chris Claremont's 18-issue X-MEN: THE END story only gets a slight boost, much as happened with Book Two. This is fair enough, because it's all one story and the Books don't tell self-contained stories. It's hard to imagine anyone jumping on board at this point.

25. SON OF M Dec 05 Son of M #1 (of 6) - 62,254 Jan 06 Son of M #2 (of 6) - 52,704 (-15.3%)
At the heavier end of the scale for second issue drops, but nothing alarming.
End of series, hell freezes over. When Marvel launched this book, they can't have imagined that their four-issue miniseries would finish up with issue #6, almost four years later, placing below the second issue of a Quicksilver miniseries.
Issue #5 picks up 1,090 re-orders to chart at number 294.
Ha! irgendwie gibt es weniger comicleser oder niemand interessiert sich mehr an Kevin smith, gut die Hälfte hat sich nicht mehr daran interessiert die story zu ende zu lesen
29. NEW EXCALIBUR Nov 05 New Excalibur #1 - 58,333 Dec 05 New Excalibur #2 - 48,816 (-16.3%) Jan 06 New Excalibur #3 - 47,196 ( -3.3%)
Levelling out nicely after a steep drop last month.
32. IRON MAN Jan 02 Iron Man #50 - 43,097 Jan 03 Iron Man #64 - 41,306 Jan 04 Iron Man #76 - 30,197 ====== Jan 05 n/a Feb 05 n/a Mar 05 n/a Apr 05 Iron Man #3 - 51,390 ( -6.7%) May 05 n/a Jun 05 n/a Jul 05 n/a Aug 05 Iron Man #4 - 48,403 ( -5.8%) Sep 05 n/a Oct 05 n/a Nov 05 n/a Dec 05 n/a Jan 06 Iron Man #5 - 45,243 ( -6.5%) 6 mnth ( n/a ) 1 year ( n/a ) 2 year (+49.8%)
Hmm. They're already back down to the 45K range, which is alright but hardly exceptional by the standards of this title (before it went into a tailspin during 2003, at least). And they're only selling three issues in a year, so that's nine months of no income. Was this really worth it?
33. DAREDEVIL Jan 02 Daredevil #29 - 48,012 Jan 03 Daredevil #42 - 62,770 Jan 04 Daredevil #56 - 56,351 ====== Jan 05 Daredevil #69 - 48,727 ( -3.5%) Feb 05 Daredevil #70 - 48,702 ( -0.0%) Mar 05 Daredevil #71 - 49,715 ( +2.1%) Apr 05 Daredevil #72 - 48,803 ( -1.8%) May 05 Daredevil #73 - 48,681 ( -0.2%) Jun 05 Daredevil #74 - 48,175 ( -1.0%) Jul 05 Daredevil #75 - 47,800 ( -0.8%) Aug 05 Daredevil #76 - 46,424 ( -2.9%) Sep 05 Daredevil #77 - 45,945 ( -1.0%) Oct 05 Daredevil #78 - 45,071 ( -1.9%) Nov 05 Daredevil #79 - 44,250 ( -1.8%) Dec 05 Daredevil #80 - 43,309 ( -2.1%) Jan 06 Daredevil #81 - 44,252 ( +2.2%) 6 mnth ( -7.4%) 1 year ( -9.2%) 2 year (-21.5%)
A slight increase for Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev's final issue, which was also solicited as featuring "a major, major change." Brubaker and Lark take over in February.
35. SPIDER-WOMAN: ORIGIN Dec 05 Origin #1 (of 5) - 66,791 Jan 06 Origin #2 (of 5) - 43,684 (-34.6%)
Issue #1 picks up 2,838 re-orders to chart at number 224, but this month's issue drops like a stone. It's a precipitous drop by any standards, and more than a little worrying. The book needs to level out quickly, especially considering that it's supposed to be trailing an upcoming SPIDER-WOMAN ongoing title.
34% das ist enorm viel
36. NEW X-MEN Jan 05 New X-Men #8 - 40,179 ( -6.6%) Jan 05 New X-Men #9 - 38,197 ( -4.9%) Feb 05 New X-Men #10 - 36,910 ( -3.4%) Mar 05 New X-Men #11 - 35,549 ( -3.7%) Apr 05 New X-Men #12 - 35,779 ( +0.6%) May 05 New X-Men #13 - 35,033 ( -2.1%) May 05 New X-Men #14 - 34,579 ( -1.3%) Jun 05 New X-Men #15 - 34,007 ( -1.7%) Jul 05 New X-Men #16 - 49,217 (+44.7%) Aug 05 New X-Men #17 - 43,908 (-10.8%) Sep 05 New X-Men #18 - 43,286 ( -1.4%) Oct 05 New X-Men #19 - 41,691 ( -3.7%) Nov 05 New X-Men #20 - 59,466 (+42.6%) Dec 05 New X-Men #21 - 43,473 (-26.9%) Jan 06 New X-Men #22 - 42,923 ( -1.3%) 6 mnth (-12.8%) 1 year ( -6.8%)
Still comfortably up on the book's previous incarnation. X-23=$$$. The six-month drop is deceptive - it's a comparison with a HOUSE OF M crossover which was further boosted by variant covers.
40. GENERATION M Nov 05 Generation M #1 (of 5) - 54,617 Dec 05 Generation M #2 (of 5) - 44,747 (-18.1%) Jan 06 Generation M #3 (of 5) - 41,551 ( -7.1%)
Levelling out somewhat, but still losing readers a little fast. Issue #2 picks up re-orders of 1,198 to chart at 284.
For once, the "sold out" press release is for real - this is a genuine sleeper hit. No massive hype, no big-name creative team, nothing really to boost its sales aside from a tie-in with ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR. And it climbs 8.4% with its second issue, something that's almost impossible to do these days. Amazing.
There's now a reprint of issue #1 with a variant cover, so look for significant re-orders to hit the chart in future months.
wie kann man sich sowas makaberes bloss kaufen
45. X-MEN: THE 198 FILES Jan 06 The 198 Files - 36,535
The OFFICIAL HANDBOOK's contribution to "Decimation", doing far better than the regular title.

The concluding part of "Peace in our Time", the lead-in to "Planet Hulk." Marvel are claiming massive success for February's first issue, but it's doubtful whether this transitional storyline has done much to contribute.
Because you demanded it - the origin story of Second Guard From The Left! At the very least, I'm deeply sceptical about the timing of this series, which comes out before the Squad have become remotely established as characters. This is the standard "first issue of an X-Men miniseries that only completists will buy" number - COLOSSUS did about the same for its first issue.
soviele? das hat mich sogar nicht interessiert

This month it's the 2099 Universe, but it doesn't make a great deal of difference to sales. We're still locked in the book's normal range.
Once again, EXILES impresses with its consistent sales. Six Marvel titles show a year-on-year increase in January. Three of them do it by renumbering; two of them are Spider-Man books getting a crossover sales boost. Only EXILES has achieved a year-on-year increase without stunts.
If you're wondering, Marvel only have three books which are up over the last six months - two Spider-Man crossover titles, and X-MEN: THE END benefitting from a renumbering. Only two books are up from two years ago - AMAZING, thanks to the crossover, and IRON MAN, thanks to a relaunch. Everything else is either going down, or its on a skip month.
Hmm. This is the first in a series of painted origin stories of Marvel heroes, reinterpreted to try and make them more accessible to film audiences. It's a $3.99 book, giving it a number 38 place on the dollar rankings. A middling number - could have been a lot worse, but I suspect Marvel may have been hoping for better. But it's hard to see why direct market audiences should be interested in a comic whose admitted purpose is to promote the characters to casual readers.
bin erstaunt dass das so gefloppt ist, wohl der Preis
65. NEXTWAVE Jan 06 Nextwave #1 - 28,545
Erk. Despite a reasonable amount of promotion, this is not a good start at all. It's lower than THING #1, and even marginally below NICK FURY'S HOWLING COMMANDOS #1. The first issue of SHE-HULK beat it by 9,000. It can't have helped that solicitations wrongly listed this as a twelve-issue miniseries, but that can't be the sole reason - DEFENDERS #1 beat this number by 11,000. Come to think of it, it's also a couple of thousand below PUNISHER VS BULLSEYE #1. You get the point.
Personally, I rather enjoyed it, but clearly retailers weren't convinced at all. Things will have to turn around sharpish. I suspect the problem here is that people expect Warren Ellis to laugh AT superheroes rather than WITH them, and the superhero audience just isn't feeling sufficiently self-loathing right now to find that an attractive prospect. It's debatable whether the comic really does approach superheroes that way - I'd say it doesn't, personally - but it's the perception that drives sales more than the reality. And the perception of Warren Ellis comedy superhero comics, I suspect, may not be in tune with the retro-crossover zeitgeist.
A tie-in issue of MARVEL MILESTONES, featuring stories about Bloodstone, X-51 and Captain Marvel, charts at number 221 with orders of 3,075.
die Fanboys weinen im Netz und ie Händler hatten recht, mit der 2 aus dem Abo geworfen, ist sowas wie die Godzilla filme auf RTL 2
66. SHE-HULK Jan 05 She-Hulk #11 - 23,235 ( -2.6%) Feb 05 She-Hulk #12 - 23,202 ( -0.1%) Mar 05 n/a Apr 05 n/a May 05 n/a Jun 05 n/a Jul 05 n/a Aug 05 n/a Sep 05 n/a Oct 05 She-Hulk #1 - 37,220 (+60.4%) Nov 05 She-Hulk #2 - 31,610 (-15.1%) Dec 05 She-Hulk #3 - 29,428 ( -6.9%) Jan 06 She-Hulk #4 - 28,214 ( -4.1%) 6 mnth ( n/a ) 1 year (+21.4%)
Levelling out, but not quite fast enough for comfort.
67. BLACK PANTHER Jan 02 Black Panther #40 - 18,808 Jan 03 Black Panther #53 - 17,754 ====== Feb 05 Black Panther #1 - 69,930 Mar 05 Black Panther #2 - 47,533 (-32.0%) Apr 05 Black Panther #3 - 44,925 ( -5.5%) May 05 Black Panther #4 - 40,804 ( -9.2%) Jun 05 Black Panther #5 - 37,401 ( -8.1%) Jul 05 Black Panther #6 - 35,256 ( -5.7%) Aug 05 Black Panther #7 - 42,905 (+21.7%) Sep 05 Black Panther #8 - 46,239 ( +7.8%) Oct 05 Black Panther #9 - 40,173 (-13.1%) Nov 05 Black Panther #10 - 31,987 (-20.4%) Dec 05 Black Panther #11 - 29,327 ( -8.3%) Jan 06 Black Panther #12 - 27,933 ( -4.7%) 6 mnth (-21.5%)
Again, levelling out somewhat, but still miles away from where Marvel want it to be. The wedding storyline has its work cut out for it.
68. PULSE Jan 02 Alias #5 - 35,836 Jan 03 Alias #19 - 26,997 Jan 04 n/a ====== Jan 05 Pulse #7 - 34,779 (-15.0%) Feb 05 n/a Mar 05 Pulse #8 - 33,367 ( -4.1%) Apr 05 n/a May 05 n/a Jun 05 Pulse #9 - 32,771 ( -1.8%) Jul 05 Pulse #10 - 56,628 (+72.8%) Aug 05 n/a Sep 05 Pulse #11 - 34,919 (-38.3%) Oct 05 n/a Nov 05 Pulse #12 - 30,418 (-12.9%) Dec 05 n/a Jan 06 Pulse #13 - 27,671 ( -9.0%) 6 mnth (-51.1%) 1 year (-20.4%)
Axed with issue #14. The arc originally planned to start in issue #15 is going to be remodelled into a CIVIL WAR tie-in miniseries, which will doubtless sell much, much better.
Nudging slightly up, for no apparent reason. There's a guest appearance by Spider-Man, but he doesn't usually make much difference. Remarkably stable in its range - the six month drop is misleading, because it's drawing a comparison with the HOUSE OF M crossover issue
84. OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE Jan 05 Women of Marvel 2005 - 20,837 ( +20.1%) Feb 05 Marvel Knights 2005 - 18,182 ( -12.7%) Mar 05 X-Men: Age of Apocalypse 2005 - 37,056 (+103.8%) Apr 05 Spider-Man 2005 - 25,530 ( -31.1%) May 05 Teams 2005 - 22,564 ( -11.6%) Jun 05 Fantastic Four 2005 - 21,970 ( -2.6%) Jul 05 Avengers 2005 - 23,668 ( +7.7%) Aug 05 Ultimate Universe 2005 - 25,436 ( +7.5%) Sep 05 Alternate Universes 2005 - 18,680 ( -26.6%) Oct 05 Horror 2005 - 15,849 ( -15.2%) Nov 05 X-Men 2005 - 22,986 ( +45.0%) Dec 05 Ultimates/Ultimate X-Men 2005 - 20,795 ( -9.5%) Jan 06 A to Z #1 (of 12) - 23,423 ( +12.6%) 6 mnth ( -1.0%) 1 year ( +12.4%)
First of a twelve-part series with the odd plan of focussing on the characters they haven't already covered - which means almost none of the major names are included, but it's great news if you've been hanging on for a profile of China Force or the B-Sides. In all fairness, Marvel deserve credit for not simply recycling old material and selling the same profiles to the same readers twice - which they could quite easily have done. But ironically, I suspect the market is going to punish them for it, because I can't help thinking they've ended up with a book of very marginal appeal.
Until now, the HANDBOOK has hovered up and down according to subject matter. Presumably it'll now go into the usual sales decline, and 23,423 isn't a very good start for a twelve-issue miniseries. But then again, it's a very odd book, so it could always do something unexpected and level out at 15K - which seems to be their bedrock sales level for deeply unfashionable subject matter. Marvel would probably regard that as acceptable, given the $3.99 price tag and the lack of original art.
85. NEW THUNDERBOLTS Jan 02 Thunderbolts #60 - 29,912 Jan 03 n/a ====== Jan 05 New Thunderbolts #4 - 31,725 ( -3.0%) Feb 05 New Thunderbolts #5 - 29,377 ( -7.4%) Mar 05 New Thunderbolts #6 - 29,103 ( -0.9%) Apr 05 New Thunderbolts #7 - 28,977 ( -0.4%) May 05 New Thunderbolts #8 - 27,769 ( -4.2%) Jun 05 New Thunderbolts #9 - 27,300 ( -1.7%) Jul 05 New Thunderbolts #10 - 25,978 ( -4.8%) Aug 05 New Thunderbolts #11 - 37,036 (+42.6%) Sep 05 New Thunderbolts #12 - 25,912 (-30.0%) Oct 05 New Thunderbolts #13 - 29,250 (+12.9%) Oct 05 New Thunderbolts #14 - 27,864 ( -4.7%) Nov 05 New Thunderbolts #15 - 25,245 ( -9.4%) Dec 05 New Thunderbolts #16 - 25,084 ( -0.6%) Jan 06 New Thunderbolts #17 - 23,417 ( -6.7%) 6 mnth ( -9.9%) 1 year (-26.2%)
Axed with issue #30, presumably because the slow but inexorable sales decline has finally caught up with it.
Fall seit Monaten, sensational wird es wohl genauso gehen... 97. X-STATIX PRESENTS DEAD GIRL Jan 02 X-Force #124 - 45,670 Jan 03 X-Statix #7 - 33,792 Jan 04 X-Statix #18 - 25,246 ====== Jan 06 Dead Girl #1 (of 5) - 20,685 2 year (-18.1%)
A disappointing debut given the numbers that X-STATIX used to deliver. Oh well.
98. ARES Jan 06 Ares #1 (of 5) - 20,541
About what you'd expect for an underpublicised miniseries about a fairly minor character. However, Marvel have now announced that Ares is joining one of their major teams - presumably the Avengers - so we might see a bit more attention paid to later issues. Could be worth keeping an eye on.
A clip book recapping the first twelve issues of ASTONISHING X-MEN, in the style of the similar 1980s recap book MARVEL SAGA. I'm genuinely shocked that it sold this well - are there really 19,000 people willing to pay $3.99 for a bunch of clipped panels and a plot recap? That's over 10% of the audience who bought the original book! I can't see it myself, but I suppose the retailers must have their reasons.
110. DAUGHTERS OF THE DRAGON Jan 06 Daughters of the Dragon #1 (of 6) - 17,522
Generic miniseries numbers for marginal characters with no publicity. Very unusually, DOC SAMSON changes writer with issue #3. This may suggest a troubled production.
doc samson verkauft sich besser als die Girls, welch eine Schande
112. SPIDER-GIRL Jan 02 Spider-Girl #43 - 23,076 Jan 03 Spider-Girl #55 - 23,564 Jan 04 Spider-Girl #68 - 20,544 ====== Jan 05 Spider-Girl #82 - 20,005 ( -2.0%) Feb 05 Spider-Girl #83 - 20,382 ( +1.9%) Mar 05 Spider-Girl #84 - 20,050 ( -1.6%) Apr 05 Spider-Girl #85 - 19,682 ( -1.8%) May 05 Spider-Girl #86 - 19,452 ( -1.2%) Jun 05 Spider-Girl #87 - 19,605 ( +0.8%) Jul 05 Spider-Girl #88 - 18,983 ( -3.2%) Aug 05 Spider-Girl #89 - 18,538 ( -2.3%) Sep 05 Spider-Girl #90 - 18,344 ( -1.0%) Oct 05 Spider-Girl #91 - 18,159 ( -1.0%) Nov 05 Spider-Girl #92 - 17,597 ( -3.1%) Dec 05 Spider-Girl #93 - 17,057 ( -3.1%) Jan 06 Spider-Girl #94 - 17,148 ( +0.5%) 6 mnth ( -9.7%) 1 year (-14.3%) 2 year (-16.5%)
Cancelled with issue #100, so naturally it chooses this month to go up in sales. Mind you, it's only by 91 copies, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
Ouch. Even by the standards of Marvel's obscure character minis, this is a very dodgy number. If the hope was that Ultimate Silver Sable might generate some interest... well, she didn't.
123. NEW MANGAVERSE Jan 02 Mangaverse: New Dawn #1 - 29,119 ====== Jan 06 New Mangaverse #1 (of 5) - 14,403
What, AGAIN?! How many times does this idea have to fail before Marvel give up?
verdient
26. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED Jan 04 Spider-Man Unlimited #1 - 53,413 ====== Jan 05 Spider-Man Unlimited #7 - 18,316 (-12.7%) Feb 05 n/a Mar 05 Spider-Man Unlimited #8 - 17,640 ( -3.7%) Apr 05 n/a May 05 Spider-Man Unlimited #9 - 16,953 ( -3.9%) Jun 05 n/a Jul 05 Spider-Man Unlimited #10 - 16,104 ( -5.0%) Aug 05 n/a Sep 05 Spider-Man Unlimited #11 - 15,684 ( -2.6%) Oct 05 n/a Nov 05 Spider-Man Unlimited #12 - 15,150 ( -3.4%) Dec 05 n/a Jan 06 Spider-Man Unlimited #13 - 13,780 ( -9.0%) 6 mnth (-14.4%) 1 year (-24.8%) 2 year (-74.2%)
This is starting to get silly. Most of the books down at this end of the chart have at least a reasonable hope of making their money back in digest or trade paperback format. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED doesn't get reprinted anywhere, and I'm honestly amazed that it's still going. Issue #14 has a David Finch story, so it'll be interesting to see if he makes any difference.
128. BOOK OF LOST SOULS Oct 05 Book of Lost Souls #1 - 24,365 Nov 05 Book of Lost Souls #2 - 20,002 (-17.9%) Dec 05 Book of Lost Souls #3 - 15,308 (-23.5%) Jan 06 Book of Lost Souls #4 - 13,455 (-12.1%)
Er... levelling out? Perhaps, but this is still plummetting towards the 10,000 mark at high speed, and it's already lost almost half of the initial audience. Bad, bad numbers. Of course, it's an Icon book, so the normal economics don't apply.
wird sicherlich weiterhin fallen, ich bin auch weg
132. SENTINEL Jan 04 Sentinel #11 - 15,744 ====== Nov 05 Sentinel #1 (of 5) - 18,866 (+25.7%) Dec 05 Sentinel #2 (of 5) - 14,108 (-25.2%) Jan 06 Sentinel #3 (of 5) - 12,438 (-11.8%) 6 mnth ( n/a ) 1 year ( n/a ) 2 year (-21.0%)
Not very good numbers either, if we're being honest. 12% drops on the third issue are too high.
140. NICK FURY'S HOWLING COMMANDOS Oct 05 Howling Commandos #1 - 29,743 Nov 05 Howling Commandos #2 - 17,360 (-41.6%) Dec 05 Howling Commandos #3 - 13,331 (-23.2%) Jan 06 Howling Commandos #4 - 11,297 (-15.3%)
Cancelled with issue #6, and looking to reach disastrous sales levels by that point.
147. AMAZING FANTASY Jan 05 n/a Feb 05 n/a Mar 05 n/a Apr 05 Amazing Fantasy #7 - 21,802 ( -8.9%) May 05 Amazing Fantasy #8 - 17,773 (-18.5%) Jun 05 Amazing Fantasy #9 - 15,606 (-12.2%) Jul 05 Amazing Fantasy #10 - 14,729 ( -5.6%) Aug 05 Amazing Fantasy #11 - 12,788 (-13.2%) Sep 05 Amazing Fantasy #12 - 11,983 ( -6.3%) Oct 05 Amazing Fantasy #13 - 11,973 ( -0.0%) Oct 05 Amazing Fantasy #14 - 11,623 ( -2.9%) Nov 05 Amazing Fantasy #15 - 13,958 (+20.1%) Dec 05 Amazing Fantasy #16 - 11,816 (-15.3%) Jan 06 Amazing Fantasy #17 - 10,517 (-11.0%) 6 mnth (-28.6%)
Horrendous figures. It's solicited through to issue #20, which is the end of the current storyline. With sales like this, surely that's got to be it. No official cancellation announcement, though, so we'll just have to wait and see whether issue #21 appears in the May solicitaitons.
162. SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE Dec 05 Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #1 - 11,171 Jan 06 Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #2 - 8,590 (-23.1%)
A nasty drop, but this is a title aimed at the digest audience, and the direct market sales aren't critical.
take that Mckeever
171. X-MEN & POWER PACK Oct 05 X-Men & Power Pack #1 (of 4) - 12,295 Nov 05 X-Men & Power Pack #2 (of 4) - 9,482 (-22.9%) Dec 05 X-Men & Power Pack #3 (of 4) - 8,380 (-11.6%) Jan 06 X-Men & Power Pack #4 (of 4) - 8,590 ( +2.5%)
Apparently Cyclops is slightly more popular than I thought. There's another miniseries scheduled for the spring, so presumably POWER PACK must have done respectably in digest format.
177. MARVEL SPOTLIGHT Dec 05 John Cassaday & Sean McKeever - 9,763 Jan 06 Warren Ellis & Jim Cheung - 6,843 (-29.9%)
Yikes. These are appalling numbers already, but the book is still solicited through to May (Daniel Way & Olivier Coipel). With at least another four issues to go, this could reach terrifying depths.
I suspect this is a format whose time has passed. In this day and age, they'd be better off just putting all the material on their website. Is anyone really so short of Warren Ellis publicity interviews that they feel the need to pay money for them?

Die Serie rockt und das sieht man auch an den brillanten Verkaufszahlen. Wird sich mittelfristig bei 110000 einpendeln.
Zitat:
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
ASM kommt dank "THE OTHER" nahe an die 100000 ran. Die nächsten Ausgaben werden sich wohl ebenfalls gut verkaufen, da einerseits die Fans das neue Kostüm in Aktion sehen wollen und andererseits bald Civil War beginnt.
Marvel sollte jedoch ernsthaft darüber nachdenken JMS nach CIVIL WAR von der Serie zu nehmen. Doch wer könnte die Serie übernehmen?
Zitat:
UNCANNY X-MEN
Ich zähle die Tage bis Claremont die Serie verlässt. Ob die Verkaufszahlen mit Brubaker und Tan explodieren? Ich denke schon, dass die ersten 6 Monate nach der Übernahme die Zahlen regelmässig um die 120'000 liegen sollten.
Zitat:

Diese Serie wurde von Marvel nach dem Abgang von Millar stiefmütterlich behandelt. Zuerst Hudlin und Tan und dann Hudlin und Superstar. Nun wäre mit Sacasa die Autorenstelle hoffnungsvoll besetzt aber Medina zeichnet am liebsten Spider-Spawn
Sensational Spider-Man wird es wohl nicht all zu lange machen.

Zitat:
ULTIMATE X-MEN
Vaughan ist weg und der übermütige Kirkman übernimmt das Ruder. Ob es ihm endlich gelingt eine gute "MARVEL"-Serie zu schreiben? Ich zweifle. Ich hätte ihn lieber an USM gesehen, aber Bendis kommt gerade wieder in Fahrt und so wäre es wohl am absolut besten gewesen, wenn Kirkman sich noch 1-2 Jahre mit Zombies befasst hätte.
Zitat:
X-MEN: DEADLY GENESIS
Die Tatsache, dass Marvel praktisch den ganzen Plot im Voraus bekannt gegeben hat, macht die Serie nicht sonderlich interessant. Trotzdem Brubaker ist ein Muss obwohl er momentan einige Schwächen zeigt (Books of Doom soll ja todlangweilig sein).
Zitat:
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN
Nach einer langen schwachen Phase von ca. 4 Storylines bereitet mir die Serie momentan sehr viel Freude. Sie ist frisch, unterhaltsam und zeigt Spidey wie ich ihn sehen will. Bendis is back, better than ever.
Zitat:
WOLVERINE
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es eine gute Idee war, eine zweite Serie einzuführen. Was jedoch die Hauptserie betrifft hätte ich lieber ein etabliertes Kreativ Team gesehen. Dieses kurzfristige Wechseln der Autoren und Zeichner ist Gift für die Verkaufszahlen. Guggenheim ist ein unbeschriebenes Blatt und kann durchaus gut sein, aber Ramos Bitte nicht! Wäre schön gewesen Millar und Romita Jr. länger an Bord zu haben. Was wäre eure Traumbesetzung gewesen?

Ob Claremont seine grosse Fanbasis mit zu den Exiles mitnimmt? Abwarten. Qualitätsmässig war dieser Schritt wohl der Todesstoss. R.I.P. EXILES. (Übrigens auch eine Serie die mich nie interessiert hat)

SUPREME POWER: NIGHTHAWK
Auf diese Mini freue ich mich sehr. Die Reviews waren sehr positiv.
Zitat:
NEXTWAVE
Die Serie wurde aussergewöhnlich stark gepusht. Ob die Zahlen wie bei THE WALKING DEAD besser werden? I don't think so.
Zitat:
SHE-HULK
Für She Hulk sind die Zahlen ziemlich gut. Season 3 wird locker über 30'000 Issues pro Monat verkaufen
Zitat:
BLACK PANTHER
Die Zahlen sind sehr entäuschend. Damit passen sie zur Serie Dennoch kann man davon ausgehen, dass die Serie noch lange nicht gecancelled wird. Ob Hudlin bald abgesetzt wird? Both fingers crossed.

BOOKS OF DOOM
Soll sehr sehr boring sein.

RUNAWAYS
Gute Serie und RELATIV gesunde Zahlen. Sollte mit der Zeit noch besser werden.
Zitat:
CABLE & DEADPOOL
Mein Liebling. Wird wohl nicht mehr lange dauern, bis sie eingestellt wird. Cable geht zu den X-Men, Deadpool zu X-Factor. Yay! Deadpool bei X-Factor!!!!

NEW THUNDERBOLTS bald weg vom tisch...
Meinetwegen

THING
Schlechte Zahlen für eine Serie auf die ich mich ausserordentlich freue! Wird wohl knapp die #12 erreichen
