Comix Experience Top Sellers 2008: Comics

Here is the same exercise, but this time with periodical comics. It, too, is under the cut.

Comics were slightly over 41% of my gross sales.

This is a list of SALES, not of orders -- though there are a few places where those numbers were exactly the same (there's one little really obvious clump of that in the 50s)

In reality, my #1 best selling "comic" was "Quarter Book - 10 for a buck", while #2 was "dollar book", and #3 was "Quarter book - single". That looked really weird and awful on the resulting chart, however.

You can see that, especially in the first half of the chart the watchwords are "Whedon, Morrison, Bendis"
