ICv2.com: A Civil War Summer



The North American direct market of comic book and hobby shops once again displayed its ability to deliver highly anticipated mainstream comic book crossovers in big numbers, as the first issue of Marvel's Civil War series crested the quarter million mark. The bigger news is that the first few issues of DC's weekly 52 performed well enough to carry DC to the overall win for the first time in 2006. ICv2.com rightly points out that all of these new comics were able to crowd into the top 25 without doing a lot of damage to comics already sitting there, the majority of which improved in sales. A Devil's Due Family Guy book was able to lead the graphic novels chart with a healthy 16,000 sold, which should further that segment's reputation as being more open to a smaller publisher crashing the party.
