Retailer site ICv2 looks at what happened in the world of sales last month:

In September comics was the stronger category posting a 5% gain, while graphic novels suffered a 5% decline leading to a year-over-year gain of 4% in overall sales of comics and graphic novels for the month.  

With five Civil War titles and four issues of DC’s 52 in the top 25, event comics continued to drive periodical sales, while Brian K. Vaughan’s Pride of Baghdad hardcover (DC) and Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead trade paperback (Image) were far and away the best-selling graphic novel titles in September.

Graphic novel sales fall? The graphic novel market is doomed! Doomed! Doo – Oh, wait, never mind.
