ICv2.com Sales Report: June Surge

The business analysis site ICv2.com notes that a double-dip of the Marvel mini-series House of M drove an increase in comic book sales for June, while a balanced graphic novel attack including Fruits Basket and Life of Scrooge McDuck lit up an active graphic novel sales category. The combination meant overall gains. If there was any bad news, it was that comics from heavily hyped mini-series made up 6 of the top 11 titles, indicating a continued reliance on such events in the near future, and perhaps that comics fell under 20,000 in sales pretty quickly once you leave the top 100. Whether or not the comics side of the equation is living up to the broader possibilities of GN sales to make a solid platform for future DM sales may be the flipside of discovering that the market can still process a quarter-million of the right book.

In notes concerning things we've looked at in the past, it looks like six of the top 100 comic book somehow failed to be DC or Marvel books, while the top-selling book of the month from the Alias line came in at #214.
