Sales spurt continues into ’07

Good news from our friends at ICv2 — the rise in sales of periodical comics last year is continuing, thanks largely to event comcis like Marvel’s Civil War and DC’ 52.  There was a less than 5% drop between Civil War #s 5 and 6, and the most recent issue sold more than twice as much as the #2 title (another Civil War tie-in), Civil War Return.  

As expected, Marvel titles constituted 7 out of the top 10 best-selling titles and 15 out of the top 25.  Six titles sold over 100,000 units to retailers, and the next six sold above 90,000, including four issues of the weekly 52.  Full details at ICv2!
