Comix Experience Best Sellers: First half of 2013, Comics
/Hey, hey, that time of the year again, where we peek in and see what is doing well at Comix Experience. Find it down below the jump, if you are interested!
As usual, I'm scrubbing out any back issue related sale here -- including quarter and dollar books, starter sets, and single back issues. This first list is presented in QUANTITY SOLD -- these are actual sales to actual consumers, NOT just my orders or the like.
If Image had gone back to press on SAGA #9, all issues would have charted even higher -- hard to max sales when part 3 of 6 is OOP.... #7 & 8 would have also been in top 10, I think, if we could have got more 9s.
What's so striking about these sales for SAGA is just how well the book is ALSO doing (next post!) -- it is selling spiffy in EVERY format. I sure hope there is a v1+v2 combined HC coming for Christmas.....

Let's also present the same data, except sorted by DOLLARS SOLD. Not a lot of changes here, but you can see some shifts, like how AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #700 soars way up the list. SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #1 suddenly becomes a Top 20 book (I ordered too many, though, and are not yet where I want to be with profit on that one...)
Also? #46.
Either way, you can see just how much an impact $3.99 price points can have on the bottom line, and it isn't like there's any real market resistance (on an individual book level!) to the price point.
I'm always interested in your thoughts on any of this....
