ICv2.com: March ‘08 DM Estimates

imageThe comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com offers 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, this time for March, 2008.

* Top 100 Graphic Novels

The big news is a first quarter slip for comics, the first since 2004, although things are expected to pick up in serial comics sales as the year progresses and more and more of the bigger, planned titles at the American mainstream companies get into circulation. Part of that slip may have been because last year's figure included the freakishly high-selling "Death of Captain America" issue of that character's title. It may be worth noting that Naruto did very well on the trades side of things, so no Naruto Nation hangover in those stories, either. The Dark Horse Star Wars volume depicted above also did well.
