Well, this is something I didn’t expect to see anytime soon; DC Comics has released its digital sales rankings for last month – No estimates of numbers sold, of course – and… well, it looks very much like the Diamond top 10 for the month, to be honest:
#1: Batman #5
#2: Justice League #5
#3: Action Comics #5
#4: Detective Comics #5
#5: Green Lantern #5
#6: Batman and Robin #5
#7: Batman #4
#8: Justice League #4
#9: Superman #5
#10: Aquaman #5
Couple of interesting things to see there, not least of which are the previous month’s issues of Batman and Justice League placing so highly (The Dark Knight and Flash are the two books that those issues replace from the Diamond charts). It’s also curious to see that the top 5 is essentially the same as the Diamond chart, with the exception of Justice League and Batman being swapped around in order; clearly, DC has a very clear idea of what its hits books are, across different formats.
Now, if only we could convince ComiXology to compile a download chart not unlike the Diamond chart so we could see rankings for all publishers each month…
