John Jackson Miller Discusses DM Sales By Chart Position 2003 Versus 2009

There's a nice little article here that John Jackson Miller has put together at his blog The Comichron that compares March 2003 to March 2009 in terms of what the sales are like per their position on the top 300 list. It shows, basically, that March 2003 actually saw the top comics sell more than the equivalent top comics in March 2009, but comics down the charts in a couple of segments sold better than they did the month the US invaded Iraq again. It's hard to parse this kind of information into a proper explanation, but Miller suggests it may have something to do with books from big publishers appearing in these different segments of the chart. Anyway, it's very much worth a glance, and I hope this isn't the last discussion of the subject.
