Top 300 Comics for October 2008

Thursday, November 20th, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

piechart.jpgOctober was an interesting month for comics as the industry saw an increase in revenue of 9% over last year at this time.  At first it may appear to be due to larger sales, but when one examines the Top 50 books, 18 titles had a price point of $3.99, or roughly 36% of the books shipping for the month.

The least expensive book was GI JOE: A New Beginning #0, which cost $1.00.  The most expensive was Gemstone’s Uncle Scrooge #380 with the high price of $7.99.  While there are a lot of $3.99 books, $2.99 still rules the roost (barely), but I really hope the big publishers don’t look at that Gemstone book, and think it would be a good idea to raise prices that high.

Retailer Summits Raises $20,000 for Charity

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

diamondretailersummits.gifWhile there were some interesting tid-bits of news that floated out of the Diamond/ Alliance Retailer Summits last week in Las Vegas, the biggest and best news was announced yesterday as the company stated it had raised $20,000 to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, The HERO Initiative and ProLiteracy.

“Our retailers really opened their wallets and checkbooks to support these worthwhile charities. It was great to see such generosity by our west coast retailers and we expect to see the same from our retailers attending the Ft. Wayne Retailer Summit in October.” said Dan Manser, VP of Marketing for Diamond Comic Distributors.

If you have time, you can help out too by donating the cost of one comic book issue to your favorite comic book charity.

Monday, September 22nd, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

piechart.jpgDiamond Comic Distributors sent Major Spoilers a rundown of the top 50 manga titles for August 2008.  Probably most interesting is finding the World of Warcraft title taking the number one spot, as I really expected a vampire, or space, or space vampire, or Naruto title to take the top spot.  Also a surprise, was to find another Blizzard Entertainment property, Starcraft, taking the number three spot on the list.
