This week, Comic Book Resources published their report on the ICv2 Conference at New York Comic Con. The look at the domestic comic market was presented by an industry site tied to Diamond, the distributor who is the primary supplier of books to specialty comic shops. According to ICv2’s Milton Griepp, the valued of the American comics market has topped $1 billion. He estimated the size of the manga market at $85 million last year, up 13% from the year before.

That makes three consecutive years of increased sales. “Last year the biggest new titles were Tokyo Ghoul and One-Punch Man from Viz, but lots of titles are doing well and overall the market is growing,” he said.
