Comic Book Sales Data

Here's something interesting. A new monthly feature that analyzes historical market trends in comic book sales. At first glance, the historical analyses (five-year and ten-year) don't seem all that informative, as they seem to analyze orders and pre-orders rather than sales. They also compare final orders to pre-orders, so I wonder how reliable that is. Still, this is pretty cool.

Fun note: 30 Days of Night was the top-selling trade paperback of 2003.
