Go, Read: ICv2.com Summary Report On State Of Market

The hobby business news and analysis site ICv2.com will release these kind of summary reports every now and then on the Direct Market of comics and hobby shops in kind of broad, general terms. Event fatigue, ineffective media tie-ins and a decline in manga are apparently the themes this time out. In particular, they note the lack of a bump for issues related to the current comics events, as opposed to issues of the special series themselves, as a sign they're not having the impact of past efforts. It's also somewhat surprising to me, come to think of it, that DC didn't have at least a rough equivalent for their Green Lantern movie to their Lee Bermejo-drawn Joker graphic novel that did so well after that last mega-hit Batman movie. Comics publishers usually go the other way and try too hard to replicate past successes, but I'm not aware of anything in this general ballpark.
