"January 18, 2005

New Avengers #1 was the best-selling comic in December, topping 240,000 copies sold to comic shops by Diamond Comics Distributors according to our ICv2 estimates. This was the best debut by a new title this year, and the top one-month piece sales on a book since the advent of actual sales reporting in March 2003. Ultimates 2 #1 was a second strong debut for Marvel, with sales over 146,000 copies."

1 variant.

 

In one month (Dec 2004), Marvel released:

 

Avengers #1 (Finch cvr)

Avengers #1 (dunno artist - Spidey on cvr - variant)

Avengers #1 (Quesada cvr variant)

Avengers #1 (Director's cut)

Avengers #1 (Finch variant)

 

Also, you know as well as I that Diamond's #s are for store orders. The 2 stores I frequent have lots of leftover #1s available. Nonetheless, gotta give it to Marvel in releasing both NA and Ultimates Vol #2 in one month - nice Xmas bonus! grin.gif

Heidi M.'s commentary from The Pulse:

 

"Joyfully happy numbers. Few books manage to double their sales from issue to issue. Even fewer manage to do it twice in one year. NEW AVENGERS #1 charts twice in December, because the Directors Cut edition is listed seperately. However, it's basically the same comic, so I've combined the sales here. The actual numbers were 240,724 of the ordinary edition and 38,073 of the director's cut - so even looking at the ordinary edition alone, it still doubled its sales."

 

I'm also betting that the Quesada and Finch Variants aren't included in that 240,000 copy figure.

 

Another bit from the Pulse: Marvel's going to cancel this?

I like the fact that they didn't form a team in issue 1. It's just that they were "there". Is DD going to be an Avenger? (I like how Matt kept denying he was DD, but the Shield Agent wasn't falling for it).

 

I haven't read No. 3 yet (get my comics monthly), so shhhhhh. smile.gif
