It should be noted that the monthly subscription, Loot Crate, contained bundles for many of the titles in the top 10 including Orphan Black #1 and Bravest Warriors #1, which accounts for Boom! and IDW entering the yearly top-10 for the first time. Loot Crate has 500,000 monthly subscribers so that's half-a-million guaranteed sales for any comic that's included. Star Wars #1 was also featured in Loot Crate.
