Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I’m french, that’s why I’m talking funny. Please adress your complaints to my “we just love having corrupted president candidates” country.

First, an apology. I’m late, very late. So late that, as I was finishing the January column, I realized the February numbers were already available. So I decided to put both in one column. You deserve an explanation for my lateness. As some of you may now, I’m am editor in chief of one of the longest printed fanzine about comics, called Scarce, published since 1982! We will soon release two issues at the same time, focusing on Legion of Super-Heroes: that’s 136 pages to fill about one of the most daring franchise at Marvel/DC. The deadline is very tight. It’s taking all my time. So, please excuse me for my lateness. As a reward, here is the double wraparound cover done by new fresh talent Maxime Garbarini for those two issues. Maxime just had its first comcis published last year, issue#6 of the Joe Glass’ The Pride. He did an amazing job, didn’t he?

Back to our Marvel numbers. In January and February, Marvel overshipped its titles at around +10% . that means stores received more copies than ordered: free copies to put on the shelves to sell, cover price being 100% profit -(minus the shipping cost opf course). It seems clear looking at the February numbers that not all of the February products overshipped. It’s also clear that the overshipping was at a level way more important than +10% for some titles. The reason is that, for titles that are ordered in very few quantities by stores, this +10% overshipping can become a +100% overshipping. Only one copy ordered= one free copy received. If you ordered less than 10 copies of a title, you would still receive one free copy.

Now, which titles would be ordered by less than 10 copies, or even only at a one copy level? Well, a lot of the new launches on C list or new characters. The one coming to mind is Mosaic, not at all the amazing success I sold you in this column in the last two months. What’s Marvel startegy in this? First, the most obvious one, printing at a certain level of quantity is sometimes as expensive than printing less copies. But IO would bet that Marvel has amazing low printing costs, no matter what. A second mean reason would be to trick people into believing a title is selling well: that’s simply too stupid to be true, and the illusion would fade away very quickly. Some of you probably thought about that, be frank! :p No, the main real reason to overship is to have some of your new daring launches on the racks. Retailers are litteraly overflowed with new #1s. On new series starring for the first time what were C-list characters, with a creative team unknown to most fans, it can be very difficult for retailers to take the risk to have it on the shelves, or only in the hope that those crazy people completely obsessed by variant covers would pick up a copy. With this strategy, Marvel forces the shops to have some copies on the shelves, and not only pre-ordered by customers copies that will never be available for other customers. Seeing the numbers after the overshipping, it’s not working. Many of those difficult new launches are already below 10,000, even sometimes close to 5,000, which is mind-blowing.

Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it’s not because a copy is sold to a shop that it’s sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.

Many thanks to Milton Griepp and ICv2.com for the permission to use their figures. Also thanks to the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!) for its help.

MS MARVEL TPB VOL.6: 3,500

No floppy issue of Ms Marvel this month but her first TPB is still selling, cracking 45K only trought Diamond. It’s more difficult to make people pick up the remainign volumes after that.

1- DARTH MAUL ($5) 02/17 Darth Maul #1 - 105,177

That’s a weak debut for a Star Wars ongoing. I was expecting more crazyness from retailers on this one. Well, it seems that not everybody can be Darth Vader, soon coming back with a relaunch, as I predicted it months ago!

STAR WARS TPB VOL.4: 4,907 Average +% TPB Sales issues #20-25: +5.8% [+562]

Back to business as usual. TPB Vol. 4 went out and is doing perfectly OK, even if with a weaker first month than the previous volumes, which is perfectly normal. Vol. 1 is still selling nice quantities every month.

13- AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 04/14 Amazing v3 #1 - 532,586 ( 293.1%) 05/14 Amazing v3 #2 - 123,945 ( -76.7%) ... 04/15 Amazing v3 #17 - 99,964 ( +8.3%) 05/15 Amazing v3 #18 - 88,338 (-11.6%) ... 10/15 Amazing Spider-Man #1 - 265,073 10/15 Amazing Spider-Man #2 - 111,322 (-58.0%) 11/15 Amazing Spider-Man #3 - 93,848 (-15.7%) 12/15 Amazing Spider-Man #4 - 82,066 (-22.6%) 12/15 Amazing Spider-Man #5 - 79,122 (- 3.6%) 01/16 Amazing Spider-Man #6 - 76,517 (- 3.3%) 02/16 Amazing Spider-Man #7 - 75,357 (- 1.5%) 02/16 Amazing Spider-Man #8 - 71,599 (- 5.0%) 03/16 Amazing Spider-Man #9 - 88,164 (+23.1%) 04/16 Amazing Spider-Man#10 - 73,643 (- 16.5%) 04/16 Amazing Spider-Man#11 - 67,446 (- 8.4%) 05/16 Amazing Spider-Man#12 - 74,963 (+11.1%) 06/16 Amazing Spider-Man#13 - 65,519 (-12.6%) 06/16 Amazing Spider-Man#14 - 65,646 (+ 0.2%) 07/16 Amazing Spider-Man#15 - 93,582 (+42.6%) 08/16 Amazing Spider-Man#16 - 185,342 (+98.1%) 08/16 Amazing Spider-Man#17 - 74,869 (-59.6%) 09/16 Amazing Spider-Man#18 - 71,159 (- 5.0%) 10/16 Amazing Spider-Man#19 - 73,215 (+ 2.9%) 10/16 Amazing Spider-Man#20 - 67,530 (- 7.8%) (CC) 11/16 Amazing Spider-Man#21 - 63,052 (- 6.4%) (CC) 12/16 Amazing Spider-Man#22 - 63,359 (+ 0.5%) (CC) 01/17 Amazing Spider-Man#23 - 73,773 (+16.4%) (CC) 02/17 Amazing Spider-Man#24- 61,953 (-16.0%) (CC) Since #2: -44.3%

If we count that +10% redorders are indeed part of those results, that’s quite disapointing that Amazing is reaching is lowest point during what is supposed to be a big event. The surge for issue #23 is probably to Gwen Stacy coming back.1113

16- 20--IVX 11/16 Inhumans vs X-Men #0 - 84,161 12/16 Inhumans vs X-Men #1 - 167,703 (+99.3%) 01/17 Inhumans vs X-Men #2 - 62,723 (-62.6%) 01/17 Inhumans vs X-Men #3 - 61,638 (- 1.0%) 02/17 Inhumans vs X-Men #4 - 56,969 (- 7.6%) 02/17 Inhumans vs X-Men #5 - 53,348 (- 6.4%)

Those numbers are a little steep.

24- CLONE CONSPIRACY LTD 10/16 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #1 - 90,285 11/16 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #2 - 58,921 (-34.7%) 12/16 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #3 - 56,117 (- 3.7%) 01/17 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #4 - 54,947 (- 2.1%) 02/17 Clone Conspiracy Ltd #5 - 48,780 (-11.2%)

Issue #5, according to the sollicitations, was supposed to be THE issue Spider-fans will talk about for years to come. Apparently, this plan failed.

28- UNWORTHY THOR 11/16 Unworthy Thor# 1 - 70,424 12/16 Unworthy Thor# 2 - 50,584 (-28.1%) 01/17 Unworthy Thor #3 - 52,938 (+ 4.7%) 02/17 Unworthy Thor #4 - 46,006 (-13.1%)

As always, Olivier Coipel delivers an amazing redesign. I would hire him as an artistic director in a jiff to pump up some tired struglling super-heros franchises like the Red Circle or Gold Key superheroes.

—

30- ELEKTRA 02/17 Elektra #1 - 44,310

Elektra discovered that all her troubles to keep an ongoing title alive actually came from her bad breath. So now she’s hiding her mouth. With a weak debut like that, inflated by overshipping, the following months should not be easy for her.

33-STAR WARS DOCTOR APHRA LTD 12/16 SW Dr Aphra Ltd #1 of - 99,067 12/16 SW Dr Aphra Ltd #2 of - 61,417 (-38.0%) 01/17 SW Dr Aphra Ltd #3 of - 48,592 (-20.9%) 02/17 SW Dr Aphra Ltd #4 of - 43,475 (-10.5%)

Slowing down. At least, that’s it.

34- 49- MONSTER UNLEASHED LTD ($5) 01/17 Monsters Unleashed Ltd #1 - 74,107 02/17 Monsters Unleashed Ltd #2 - 43,355 (-41.5%) 02/17 Monsters Unleashed Ltd #3 - 38,205 (-11.9%)

This event seems quite attracting, seemingly not having to relay on convulated storylines and out-of-character behavior to explain its leitmotiv. It’s just a good old invasion of Godzilla-like monsters, taken from the good old days of Marvel/Timely. As good an occasion than another to remind you that Season 3 of Kajumax, the chef d’oeuvre from Zander Cannon at Oni, is in the works.

40- STAR WARS POE DAMERON 04/16- SW Poe Dameron #1 - 175,322 05/16 SW Poe Dameron #2 - 68,922 (-60.7%) 06/16 SW Poe Dameron #3 - 60,889 (-11.7%) 07/16 SW Poe Dameron #4 - 57,712 (- 5.2%) 08/16 SW Poe Dameron #5 - 52,281 (- 9.4%) 09/16 SW Poe Dameron #6 - 50,275 (- 3.8%) 10/16 SW Poe Dameron #7 - 47,878 (- 4.7%) 11/16 SW Poe Dameron #8 - 43,034 (- 10.1%) 12/16 SW Poe Dameron #9 - 38,839 (- 9.7%) 01/17 SW Poe Dameron #10 - 40,091 (+3.2%) 02/17 SW Poe Dameron #11 - 40,235 (+0.4%) Since issue #2: -41.6% POE DAMERON TPB VOL.1: 4,621 [+365] Average +% from issue #1-6 : +7.6%

With numbers like that, even if the Star Wars titles are not supposed to be part of Marvel current overshipping strategy, the doubt arise. Meanwhile, the first TPB did reappear on its second month of release, but not the third one.

41- MIGHTY THOR 12/12 Thor v5 #1 - 110,443 ... 02/14 Thor #19.Now– 42.034 ( 10.1%) ... 09/14 Thor v5 #25 – 53,047 ( 38.4%) 10/14 Thor v6 #1 – 150,862 ( 184.4%) 11/14 Thor v6 #2 – 89,131 ( -40.9%) 12/14 Thor v6 #3 – 72,563 ( -18.6%) 01/15 Thor v6 #4 - 69,497 ( -4.2%) 02/15 Thor v6 #5 - 69,513 ( +0.0%) 03/15 Thor v6 #6 - 70,569 ( +1.5%) 04/15 Thor v6 #7 - 71,372 ( +1.1%) 05/15 Thor v6 #8 - 86,222 (+20.1%) ... 11/15 Mighty Thor #1 - 112,053 12/15 Mighty Thor #2 - 70,331 (-37.2%) 01/16 Mighty Thor #3 - 60,345 (-14.2%) 02/16 Mighty Thor #4 - 56,568 (- 6.3%) 03/16 Mighty Thor #5 - 54,568 (- 3.5%) 04/16 Mighty Thor #6 - 52,538 (- 3.7%) 05/16 Mighty Thor #7 - 47,425 (- 9.7%) 06/16 Mighty Thor #8 - 51,300 (+ 8.2%) 07/16 Mighty Thor #9 - 48,712 (- 5.0%) 08/16 Mighty Thor #10- 45,929 (- 5.7%) 09/16 Mighty Thor #11- 46,434 (+ 1.1%) 10/16 Mighty Thor #12- 40,326 (-13.2%) 11/16 Mighty Thor #13- 39,274 (- 2.6%) 12/16 Mighty Thor #14- 37,624 (- 4.2%) 01/17 Mighty Thor #15- 47,038 (+25.0%) 02/17 Mighty Thor #16- 40,175 (-14.6%) Since issue #2: -42.9%

Issue #15 was the debut of a new arc, about a war beetween Asgard and the Shiar. Taken into account the +10% overshipping, the serie is steady, not gaining any new readers in floppy format.

42- etc...TRUE BELIEVERS ($1) 02/17 Wolverine vs Hulk – 39,177 02/17 Wolverine - 19,911 02/17 X-23 – 13,870 02/17 Old Man Logan - 12,155 02/17 Weapon X – 10,803 02/17 Origin – 10,543 02/17 All New Wolverine – 9,352 02/17 Ennemy of the state – 8,338 02/17 Wolverine save Tiger – 8,167 02/17 Wolverine X-Men – 7,570

No real lessons to be learned here. I would have expected retailers to have ordered more Old Man Logan than anything else because of the movie, but apparently, the priority was given to the good old reprint of Incredible Hulk 181. Certainly not the kind of comics I would recommand to someone new entering my store and wanting a Logan-related cheap product. Did Marvel gave away some of those?

Overshipping affects issue #16 numbers. But it clearly fell over the 40K 30-40K is the new 40-50K! TPB vol. 3 is out and is performing quite well, as the previous volumes keep reapparing every month. Old Man Logan is a juggernaut in TPB format!

I really can’t think of anything more convuleted than this: “Number . Letters” numerotation thingie. How could it be even more tricky? Let’s wait, Marvel will probably found something out (a fraction of letters on a number?)

62- BULLSEYE ($5) 02/17 Bullseye # 1 - 33,511

Launching three Daredevil related ongoing series (Elektra, Kingpin and Bullseye) at the same time was probably as crazy as launching 3 Mercs for Money related ongoing this last trimester (Slapstick, Foolkiller and Solo)

Like almost all the big sellers at Marvel, it is discovering he 20K zone. Reminder: that’s a huge TPB seller.

Apparently, the trick to drop the “She” prefix from the title didn’t fool anyone.

You know the song: 20K zone. This volume is a not a TPB seller, as Vol.1 does not reappear in the TOP 300 after its first month of release.

Tpb Sales will perhaps make the difference for this volume of Moon Knight, as Vol.1 keep reappearing after its first month of release.

Already at the same level than before it relaunched. Performance is the word you’re searching for! Meanwhile, the TPBs are not tanking but not doing very well neither.

Instead of relaunching every serie every 12 issue sor less, why won’t Marvel use the L.E.G.I.O.N. title trick, adding the year to the title, for example Ultimates ’17. That would really help. Because, with all the variants, good luck into finding back issues you want several months later.

I would never have guess this one would fall over the 20K so early. Floppies will soon be for dinosaurs only. Meanwhile, Vol.1 is still selling lmike crazy but the loss beetween volumes is quite graping.

Not in danger yet but will soon be. We can assume 15K is the new 20K, when the cancellation of a title is decided if not aimed at younger readers or not performing well in trades.

The Hulk franchise is at his lowest, with this and (She) Hulk results. Marvel should perhaps kill its main character to boost itds popularity. What, they already did? And that’s the result? Boy, they are in trouble…
