The dual releases of Civil War II from Marvel and many of DC's Rebirth titles drove comic shop retailers to order a modern record $58.59 million in comic books, graphic novels, and magazines in June 2016. The single month's orders nearly eclipsed the previous June's by nearly $10 million and nearly erased the Direct Market's losses to date through 2016. Comics shop market orders for the year stand at about $280 million, versus $282 million in the first half of 2015.



Marvel's Civil War II #1 led the new comics charts, and by the increase in comics unit sales this month — nearly 20% — we can expect that a large number, if not all, of the top 10 titles may wind up over 100,000 copies. By placing ahead of DC's Batman #1 at $2.99, the $5.99 60-page Civil War II issue is further expected to bring in more than twice the revenue.
