Diamond sold almost 202,000 copies of Infinite Crisis #5 to comic stores
in March, around an 11% increase over its sales of #4. The title is a
true juggernaut, taking the #1 slot in every month it's shipped.
Although some of the difference in quantity between #4 and #5 may have
been the times of the month they shipped (#4 shipped January 18th and #5
shipped March 1st, giving #5 two more weeks to sell reorders), the
title certainly isn't losing any steam and may be picking up strength.
Over-all, it was a strong month for comic circulations, with 11 titles up and 9 down in the top 25 vs. the previous issues.
DCD (Diamond Comics Distributors) released their monthly Direct Market
sales charts and Market Share report Friday, this month for titles that
went on sale in March 2006, and it was split decision time again among
the two major publishers. DC recorded the top-selling comic book
(Infinite Crisis #5) and top-selling trade paperback (V For Vendetta) of
the month, but Marvel remained on top of both Market Share categories.
The following products are expected to ship to comic book
specialty stores this week. Note that this list is tentative
and subject to change. Please check with your retailer for
availability.
THE PULSE: What were some of the things that crossed your mind when you
thought about working on a project like this? How is it different in
this day and age from 20 years ago when you were originally trying to
keep secrets from the first Crisis from hitting the masses before they
were explored on the page?
WOLFMAN: Well, I was editor of the original and therefore I had all the
headaches, etc. to produce it. Also, 20 years ago nobody had ever done
anything like this so getting folk to understand what we were doing was
hard. Nowadays they know exactly what doing a massive crossover is like.
A for keeping secrets, well, back then there was no internet so it was
easy, long as we didn't talk to the fanzines, and since the story was
kept under wraps for a long time that was easy, too. Lastly, I'm pretty
good about not saying anything. These days it's got to be harder because
so many people work on a project like this. Back then it was me, George
Perez and Bob Greenberger, the associate editor on the project. Nobody
else was involved.
