Every Comic to Read Before Doomsday Clock 12 IMAGES

According to estimates from Comichron , Marvel Legacy #1 sold a total of 305,427 copies through Diamond. Much of the top ten for 2017 was dominated by crossover events like Dark Nights: Metal and Secret Empire, though Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man proved to be Marvel's biggest debut for a new ongoing series.The top ten best-selling comics of 2017 included:For those curious as to why Doomsday Clock #2 sold higher than issue #1, Diamond's policy is to count variant covers that have a higher cover price than the regular as separate listings. Were the sales of the regular and lenticular versions of Doomsday Clock #1 combined, it would have outsold issue #2.As usual, the graphic novel sales charts were a very different story. Image Comics dominated with eight of the top ten best-selling graphic novels of 2017. Saga Vol. 7 topped the charts with an estimated 47,775 copies sold ( according to Comichron ). That was followed by evergreen best-seller Saga Vol. 1, The Walking Dead Vol. 27: The Whisperer War and Paper Girls Vol. 1. DC and Oni Press each had one graphic novel crack the top ten (Batman Vol. 1: I Am Gotham and Rick and Morty Vol. 1, respectively).The top ten best-selling graphic novels of 2017 included:In total, Marvel held 36.36% retail market share and 38.30% unit market share in 2017. DC followed at 30.07% retail share and 33.93% unit share, while Image had 9.80% retail share and 10.12% unit share.Unfortunately, 2017 proved to be a fairly rough year for the comic book industry overall. While Diamond notes that 2017 was their fourth biggest year ever, single issue sales declined 10.40% and graphic novel sales declined 9.38%, for a total drop of 10.09% last year.Will 2018 turn things around? It's hard to say this early in, but here are 19 new comic book projects we're looking forward to this year
