The January sells figures are in, and the winner is both
Marvel and
DC.
Marvel, for the second month in a row, took the top spot for dollar market share. Simply put,
Marvel made the most money in January.
DC, not to be looked down at, was the clear winner in top 10 comic book sales. Taking all 10 spots,
DC dominated that part of the market. Keep in mind that these figures are for
Diamond sales by comic book retailer, not sales made to readers in-store or online. Compared to last month, sales are down by single digits but looking at January 2011 sales are up 8%.
Newsarama has provided these handy dandy charts to help break down some of the figures:
