COMICS: Aquaman Outsells Every Marvel Comic Book Again But MARVEL Still Wins The Market Share

DC dominated the Top 10 comic books sold in February but Marvel still owns the market share with 35.92% of sales coming from Marvel titles.

Justice League, Batman, Action Comics, Detective Comics, Green Lantern, Batman: The Dark Knight, Superman, Flash, Aquaman and Batman & Robin gave DC comics a second straight Top 10 sweep over publishing rival Marvel.

Indeed, the Top 10 comic books sold in February were once again all DC titles but Marvel still took the market share with 35.92% versus 29.47% for DC. HOWEVER, it should be noted that there was an extra week in February, during which DC sat out and Marvel did not. This is most likely the cause in the noticeable market share gap and it's been reported by Bleeding Cool that DC won't be sitting out that extra week in May when the same scenario occurs.

I expect a similar performace in March but all bets are off when Marvel launches AvsX in April.

Aquaman has been pretty good. Batman has been the best of DC's new 52 though. Personally I like Marvel's writing better, but DC has some great stories so I really like them both.

Congrats! Took the better part of the 80s, 90s and early 00s to catch up, but, better late than never.

I'm not one for the new 52 stuff, but if they really wanted to shake things up, they'd let Aquaman run the crew in the long term.

its a shame that the likes of animal man & swamp thing ain't breaking into the top ten.

i've only just read the first two issues of animal man & four issues of swamp thing i think they are two best titles at the moment with snyder's batman.

i've also just started reading american vampire.
