03.2006 Comics Sales

I have excerpted last month's sales figures for the titles that make up my current reading. I took out the reorders/reprints for earlier issues. It is interesting to see how titles sell in relation to each other, and you might want to check your own favorites via the link below. It figures that, like movies that come to DVD, some titles might make some more money back when collected (see the top graphic novel/tpb list), but it still worries me how little some titles I like sell on a monthly basis.

Index is how many copies sold for every 100 copies of Batman (estimated 69,805 total). So (Index/100) * 69,805 = estimated sales for a title.
