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) AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #583BATMAN AND ROBIN #1BATMAN AND ROBIN #2 4TH PTGBUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #21 CHEN CVRBUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #22 CHEN CVRBLACKEST NIGHT #1 (OF 8)BATMAN AND ROBIN #3BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #23 CHEN CVRBUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #24 CHEN CVRBATMAN #686 (NOTE PRICE)BATMAN AND ROBIN…  Read More…

Here’s the first in a series of posts detailing Comix Experience’s performance in 2009. I’ll hide these below the jump for people who Just Don’t Care. Overall, CE was down by 4% for the year.

Overall, “books” accounted for 53% of our sales, while “comics” were 42%. I believe this is the widest spread that we’ve shown yet — still BOTH categories are absolutely critical to my…  Read More…
