ICV2.com: April 2007 DM Numbers

The comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com has come through with their usual array of lists, estimates and analysis regarding the performance of comic books and graphic novels in the Direct Market of comic and hobby shops.

Overview
Analysis
Top 300 Comic Books
Top 100 Graphic Novels

There are several publishing-news type stories to track here: numbers are generally up, DC's one-month boost from folding in a mini-event called World War III into its ongoing weekly comic event 52; Marvel's initial post-Captain America's death grief porn offerings have done extremely well, books bearing the names of Joss Whedon and Stephen King have held much of their respective audiences past their series' initial issues and the big-team books from both companies seem to be leading their more standard offerings. David Welsh provides a manga-centric look.

I still find it kind of unsettling from a traditionalist standpoint that both main X-Men books sell under 82,000 copies, but it's 2007 and the Replacements aren't together anymore, either, and I should probably just let that go.
