CE 2009: Comics

And here, below the jump, is the "Comics" portion of our show

Again, like before, let's show first the number of UNITS sold (note that I've scrubbed out things like Quarter Books)

(Also note that, again, because of the way Diamond works, and MOBY interacts with it, some things might say something like "4th printing" when, in fact, that's any and all printings added together)(doing the cleanup would really take too much time)

(Man, 100 places really isn't enough, is it?)

#1 is, no surprise, the Obama issue of Spider-Man. Nor should it be any real surprise that no other issue of Spidey charted besides that one -- that was not a comic that got people coming back to read more.

And now the same thing, flipped for DOLLARS sold.

Doesn't change it a TON, but some more expensive books get up the placements in a few places.

Anyway, always interested in your commentary!
