Comic Book Sales are the Highest they’ve been in 20 Years
I’m not an economist, I’m too lazy to really dig in-depth into what this news means, so I’m just going to make like a good Millennial. Read the headline, browse the content, and fit the story to my own agenda. Comic books are doing well, fuck yeah!

March Comics Sales: IMAGE continues to grow; everybody loves The Bat-Man

Eight Months Into DC’s ‘NEW 52’, It Isn’t Sales “Game Changer”

DC Comics Beats Marvel Comics In October Nearly 50% to 30%.
I don’t spit as harsh an invective towards the DC New 52 lately, regardless of what I think of the quality of the tale that pushed the reboot or the titles themselves. Why the change? ‘Cause it’s bolstering the entire market, and good lord if that’s true who am I to complain. At the very least, it’s giving DC a fucking Atomic Leg Drop to blast Marvel with.
