Infinity Gauntlet is heading into TDKR and Killing Joke territory 0

[Timely]

Not from Infinity Gauntlet, but I'm darn happy to have this Silver Surfer Galactus page!

Thrilled to have a Starlin/Lim/Milgrom page from Infinity (not Gauntlet) and patiently waiting for it to enter DK/KJ territory!

Great pages!

Scot Eaton is so underrated. Everything I've ever seen by him is just great.

You and me both. But, it is not going to happen.

Scot Eaton does solid work. Nothing fantastic, nothing bad. He is the Honda Accord of artists.

Dd you post this so we'd see Infinity Gauntlet in the top 12, or so we'd see that Walking Dead and/or Saga were both 3 times as popular in the same time period?
I'm curious to see how popular these same books are in another decade tho. Assuming we make it that long.

I knew it was popular, but Wow. I think this list confirms "Saga" as the most over-rated (I didn't say bad) comic of the decade.

I'm genuinely surprised to see that 25 years later, Killing Joke is selling more than Dark Knight and Watchmen. Though it could simply be that DK and WM are kept in print in a greater number of different formats? Or not? any ideas?

What that doesn't show is sales by year. Pretty sure IG has been increasing in sales at, or near, the top of that list. 

[ESeffinga]

IG was not even in the top 100 in 2016.

#32 in 2017.

#1 in 2018 (hello movies).

Back down to #12 in 2019, if the sites I just read have the correct stats.

Seems like Fiona Staples is "leaving a lot of money on the table" by being digital only...

Thought it was interesting. Definitely more so when compared to last year. Also, seeking a conversation that doesn’t dissolve into sales tax...

The big change in that decade was the rise of bookstore sales (including Amazon) over the comic shops. So how much of this is the retail echo chamber...? Buyers at the chains with only limited comics knowledge buy these titles because that's what they've been told to stock... which are then on the endcaps and are then what sells.

By "invoiced" do they mean after returns? Because that would negate the above echo chamber effect.
