[scarletneedle]

Et donc ouais, il y a plus de Batman #21 et de Flash #21 au total de précommandés que Secret Empire #0.
Tout ça à cause de codes Diamonds différents des couvertures 2D et 3D

[Jeaph]

Sacrée buche pour X-MEN BLUE dès le #2. Ceux qui ne se sont pas laissé tenter par ce relaunch (présent!) ne devraient pas avoir à attendre trop longtemps pour le suivant.

Sacrée buche pour X-MEN BLUE dès le #2. Ceux qui ne se sont pas laissé tenter par ce relaunch (présent!) ne devraient pas avoir à attendre trop longtemps pour le suivant.

Les chiffres sont bas pour toutes les séries. Le numérique (et téléchargement illégal) est passé par là. Tu ajoutes un désintérêt croissant pour un lectorat de plus en plus volatile et zappeur, des prix trop élevés, des promesses jamais tenues, des scénarios peu palpitants, des arcs trop long, des films et des séries qui brouillent les comics papiers (et le pseudo lectorat qui va avec), des politiques d'éditeurs nulissimes, des évents qui phagocytent le marché, une base de lecteur fidèle qui n'existe presque plus .....

Bref l'âge d'or est terminée. Après il reste énormément de bons comics mais comme cela reste une industries dur d'espérer que ces pépites soient pérennes .....

[Jeaph]

Bref l'âge d'or est terminée. Après il reste énormément de bons comics mais comme cela reste une industries dure d'espérer que ces pépites soient pérennes .....

Perso je reste encore assez optimiste. J'ai tellement le sentiment d'avoir été poussé vers la sortie par Marvel et DC (et non celui de m'etre lassé) que je me dis qu'on doit etre nombreux en embuscade, à attendre que les comics redeviennent bons.
Dernièrement j'ai cru que ça y était avec le one-shot Rebirth. Mais, patatras, ça a juste donné une enième palanquée de séries quelconques qui tirent à ligne.
Ce sera pour la prochaine fois... ^ ^

[scarletneedle]

Rebirth? La ligne est majoritairement encensée par la critique pourtant et à juste titre.

[Jeaph]

Vu les comics que DC et Marvel nous ont servi ces dernieres années, je crois que la critique a revu ses attentes à la baisse. :D
En tous cas, les lecteurs n'ont visiblement pas suivi.

L'électrochoc qu'il faudrait pour raviver la flamme, à mon avis, est de l'ordre de la rupture qu'il y a eu pour DC à l'époque où ils ont tué Sue puis Ted. Ou quand Marvel a sorti New Avengers et Civil War. Là, ça fait des années qu'on surfe sur la même vague, il faut qu'ils nous proposent un axe totalement nouveau.
Les comics post Rebirth, on aime ou on aime pas, mais c'est exactement la même tisane qu'avant Rebirth.

[Tony LETROUVÉ]

La révolution numérique a eu lieu mais ce n'est pas l'édition papier qui est réellement touchée c'est de le téléchargement légal qui est dans la merde.

Comixology aujourd'hui n'a pas le plus technologique que représentait son ancêtre comicsontheweb il y a 15 ans. CrossGen avait conçu une version des comics numérique intelligente basée sur avec version multilingies et bonus. ou sont aujourd'hui les possibilités de voir les cases puis les bulles s'agrandire a chaque clic pour faciliter la lecture ? ou sont les versions sonores ou des acteurs de doublages rejouaient les comics pour attirer un public ?

A l'époque le téléchargement illégal était quasi nul et le système comics on the web était sécurisé. L'alternative était d'acheter les archives DVD qui devaient jr crois contenir 25 épisodes par CD mais commercialisés par eux.

A coté le papier résiste à la grande surprise. combien de fois on nous a annoncé là mort du facicule et le passage au tout TPB ? La vérité est que même sur les titres en Digital First DC continue systématiquement à faire du fascicule puis du TPB.

En fait le téléchargement illégal aide le paper à résister car le numérique légal ne représentera jamais dans le modèle comixology qu'une part faible du nombre de comics lus sur écran.

Tant qu'ils ne trouvent pas moyen de retrouver une forme d'édition sécurisée mais avec un vrai plus produit par rapport au format cbr/cbz ils continueront à n'avoir que les miettes du marché digital.

Le problème c'est que ça doit se jouer en amont, les contrat d'éditions de CrossGen prévoyait ça des la négociation : Semic rétrocédait ses traduction à CrossGen par contrat ce qui lui permettait de proposer une version française pour un coup infime et ils touchaient le revenu de la version française qui ne revenait pas dans la poche de l’éditeur traducteur comme dans le schéma actuel.

La guerre des éditeurs les empêchent de se recentrer sur la vraie bataille à mener. Ce n'est pas pour DC et Marvel de grapiller 1 ou 2% sur l'autre qui peut servir l'industrie, c'est de proposer un plus produit à ceux qui ont déjà renoncé à l'édition matérialisée. Ils ne repayeront jamais pour ce qu'ils ont désormais gratuitement si personne ne leur offre un plus en compensation.

[XXL]

mars et Avril pour marvel, en retard:
http://www.comicsbeat.com/marvel-month-to-month-sales-chart-march-april-2017-strategies-of-doom/

[Slobo]

Merci ça fait mal ces chiffres XXL.

[doop]

Il faut aider Marvel.
Arrêter les relaunches, revenir aux equipes de base. Un ou deux comics par personnage et c'est tout.

AVENGERS (thor, iron man, Cap america, la guêpe, Miss Hulk, Captain Marvel, Ms Hulk et quelques autres) et mettre Waid et Pacheco dessus

WEST COAST AVENGERS (pourquoi pas avec les jeunes et Hawkeye). Là dessus tu pourrais mettre un Christos Gage et pourquoi pas Humberto Ramos ou Bagley.

SPIDER-MAN (Kelly/Mc Guinness) une nouvelle équipe avec un Peter Parker

SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (Peter David / Aco) ca serait bien, avec un petit côté plus urbain.

THOR (Gillen/ Dautermann) avec le vrai Thor. Gillen sait écrire ce genre de choses.

IRON MAN ( joe Casey/ Manco) on pourrait essayer un côté plus sombre

CAP AMERICA (Spencer/ Immonen) avec Steve et un supporting cast avec sharon et Falcon

HULK , là il faut vraiment tout changer... Pourquoi pas partir sur un truc assez fou. Alan Davis scénario et dessins.

UNCANNY X-MEN , retour aux basiques, mélange de soap et d'intrigues un peu compliquées. Joshua Dysart. Butch Guice

X-MEN un peu plus action, pourquoi pas Aaron/ Adam Kubert

GENERATION X avec Gage et Bachalo, une troisième génération de mutants, on repart avec des concepts un peu bizarres.

X-FORCE, par Milligan et Allred. La titre pour les gens qui n'aiment pas les mutants.

WOLVERINE,on repart sur des bases, je pense que James Robinson pourrait être très bon dessus. On pourrait lui mettre un bon dessinateur dessus, Deodato ?

FANTASTIC FOUR. Là on déconne pas, Warren Ellis et tiens, pourquoi pas Elsa Charretier, cela fairait un changement de style assez bizarre, un décalage assez rigolo. Ou alors Slott et Charretier.

DR STRANGE par Ellis et Jae Lee. Un truc assez fin même si je suis pas sur qu'on l'ait tous les mois.

PUNISHER par Rucka et Camuncoli ou mieux , un Aaron/RM Guéra (on peut rêver un peu) ?

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY par Slott et Pichelli.

Une petite série BLACK PANTHER, MS MARVEL, MILES MORALES à la rigueur et puis c'est tout. point final.

[Fred le mallrat]

Oui.. tu exageres un peu.

Je pense qu il faut qu ils se recentrent.
Arreter de trop faire de spin off..

2 séries avengers, 2 séries xmen.. pas plus
garder Champions s il le faut..


apres 30 séries c est peut etre un peu just..

Je les vois pas renoncer aux Inhumans mais là aussi .. faire une série.. y mettre les moyens (equipes artistiques, marketting) et ne mettre une deuxieme série que si la 1ere s installe au dessus de 60 000...
pareil pour Panther..

Mais c est surtout calmer le jeu des events globaux.. revenir peut etre comme en 2000-2002 avec un recentrage de chaque série sur elle même ...

Je pense pas qu il faille ranger les séries urbaines (tu cites meme pas DD.. mais bon y a de quoi sortir de bonnes séries avec des persos qui ont plus de visibilités)..
Et puis il faut bien de temps en temps tester des trucs.. tu vas pas ne faire que les séries que tu cites (et Ms Marvel vend bien.. je vois pas pourquoi on l arreterait)
Bref pour moi le souci c est plus d avoir creer des familles de titres artificiels avec GoG, Inhumans.. qui ont pas le lectorat pour 5 séries mensuelles et d avoir creer trop de séries avengers ou de revenir a creer trop de séries mutantes...
Je suis moins embetté par des séries Moon Knight, Howard, Surfer.. bref de tenter (ce qui est normal) de relancer des persnnages avec un bon pitch et de bonnes equipes.

et franchement le Thor d arraon vend (et en plus est trés bien)
revenir forcément au statu quo "originel" (si tant est qu il y en ait un.. car bon le Thor de defalco ca se lit mais c est pas le run du siecle.. le run sur Thor c est Simonson qui a changé la donne!! pas refait ce qui était déjà fait!)
Parce que bon a te lire on croirait qu on ramlene les defalco/frenz d aujourd hui qui au lieu de copier du Lee/Kirby/Ditko; copierait du Byrne/Claremont/Miller/Simonson...
Mouais..
Je veux du neuf, moi...
Qu on remplace le héros ou pas.. c est quand même un artifice qui date.. remplacer Human Torch par un gamin humain.. c est 1961... Barry Allen c est 56...
Bref le souci est pas de remplacer.. c est d avoir un truc a raconter... Spencer et Aaron ont une histoire et une sacrement bonne... Bendis.. pas vraiment.. mais bon sur Gog il remplace pas et raconte rien quand même....

Je garde Aaron sur Thor quoi. Je pense que Spencer va quitter Marvel aprés Secret Empire ou en tout cas Cap.
Ellis??? il est sur Wildstorm.. pas pres de le revoir chez Marvel pendant un moment. Je file Iron Ma a Priest qui l a toujours voulu.

[Slobo]

All new wolvy vends aussi et y'a de bon scénario.
Et même si riri vends pas j'aime bien ce qui propose bénis.
Après c'est les goûts et les couleur. Pas sûr que les propositions de doop ferait fonctionner les séries. Et se tourner vers ce qui a était déjà fait pour moi est une erreur.

Peter David sur les ff ;)

[Fred le mallrat]

Peter David sur GoG!!

[archerhawke]

On laisse Slott sur Amazing Spider-Man aussi.
Et une seule série Deadpool, avec Duggan aux commandes, il semble que son fun soit bon.

[mellencamp]

C'est une bonne idée, ça , David sur GoG!
Il refait du X-Factor, sauf que l'équipe au lieu d'être basée à New-York elle aurait un bureau dans Nulle-Part.
Et grâce aux films, il pourrait même avoir un bon dessinateur.:D

[scarletneedle]

Les chiffres de mai : http://www.comicsbeat.com/marvel-month-to-month-sales-may-2017-grandpas-and-youngsters/

[scarletneedle]

Quand je vois les chiffres de certains nouveaux titres, ça fout les jetons.

[Slobo]

C'est la déprime. Pas sur que Legacy soit la solution pour les sauver.
Heureusement que les films sont des succès parce que sinon pas sur que Disney continuerais à financer. Il serait peut être temps de revendre un peu de leur catalogue (Malibu par exemple vu qu'il ne font rien des personnages)

[watchblue]

Du waid ramos a moins de 30000 unites

Tellement violent

Apres a 4 dollars ca fait 120000 dollars sur un titre

Multiplie par 50 titres

[Fred le mallrat]

Xavier en rajoute mais vu que c est vrai que c est quasi catastrophique... au moins on peut en rire.

C est dommage pour certains titres pour qui ce n est pas juste (mais les ventes ne le sont pas toujours.. combien de séries se sont eteintes en etant pas loind etre les meilleures du moment) mais quelque part c est plus la com, la strategie globale qui est devenue un souci que la qualité reelle des bouquins...
et vu l annonce de legacy... ca va continuer car le retour au classique est meme pas prouvé et le changement radical non plus... bref..

[Fletcher Arrowsmith]

financièrement Marvel doit s'y retrouver (et n'oublions pas que c'est le but premier d'une telle entreprise) et surement encore dominer le marché.

Mais niveau stratégie et public on peut se poser des questions. La nostalgie ne fonctionne pas, la modernisation (ou la changement) des personnages forts non plus ainsi que les nouveaux concepts ou les nouvelles séries. En fait Marvel est dans une impasse créative vis à vis de attentes (si elles existes vraiment) du marché et de ses lecteurs potentiels.

On a souvent dit qu'il manquait un véritable reboot à Marvel (même si le mot a également beaucoup de détracteurs chez les passionnés de la maison des idées), au vu de ces chiffres j'en suis encore plus persuadé. Mais avec la pression du grand et petit écran cela semble impossible. Marvel est prisonnier du modèle économique qu'il a contribué à créer et à la popularisation de ses personnages (on le voit avec le titre Legacy annoncé sur Hulk où étrange coïncidence Hulk retour sur Sakaar ..... comme pour mieux rappeler Hulk Gladiateur dans le film Thor 3 Ragnarok). Attention cela ne signifie pas une baisse de qualité de certains titres. Il y a toujours d'excellentes choses à lire. Non c'est le modèle global qui est dans une impasse. J'ai l'impression que l'on pourrait inverser mes propos si on se penchait sur DC.

Au passage je me dis à chaque fois que c'est bien dommage de ne pas avoir la même analyse de l'autre big two en face pour faire des comparaisons équitables.

Je crois qu'à partir du moment où tu fais payer 4$ pour un truc lu en 5 minutes, tu peux adopter à peu près n'importe quelle stratégie, ça ne fera que de légères différences en terme de ventes.
Le seul truc qui génère de vrais sauts quantitatifs, ce sont les coups de com' à court terme.

[Fletcher Arrowsmith]

C'est pourquoi j'ai différencié dans mon argumentaire le côté financier et créatif. Du moment que le premier fonctionne .....

[archerhawke]

Au passage je me dis à chaque fois que c'est bien dommage de ne pas avoir la même analyse de l'autre big two en face pour faire des comparaisons équitables.

Ce serait effectivement très intéressant.

Artistiquement il semble y avoir encore pas mal de trucs chouettes chez Marvel non ? Thor, Doc Strange, Captain America ...
Ce que je déplore c'est le nombre de série et spinoff et les events à gogo. Ce qui pour moi, m'a fait totalement me désintéresser de l'univers Marvel, je prends mes séries pour certains auteurs et je regarde pas ce qu'il se fait autour, c'est tout.

[Fred le mallrat]

C'est pourquoi j'ai différencié dans mon argumentaire le côté financier et créatif. Du moment que le premier fonctionne .....

Oui mais augmenter les prix pour compenser la baisse de ventes ne marche pas éternellement

les comics sont trop chers. Impossible d'acheter plusieurs séries d'une part et payer 4euros un truc que tu lis vite et que tu peux pas revendre, c'est juste chiant.
Ce qui est triste d'ailleurs comme l'avait souligné Kirkman, lorqu'image a mis certains numero à 25c, bah les gens ont acheté juste pour essayer.
Après 25c, c'est vraiment pas cher, sûrement pas rentable pour un sous.

Dans Marvel Comics l histoire secrete publié en VF chez Panini: on t indique p320 que le versement des droits d auteurs fin 1981 pour tout titre au dessus de 100 000 fit péter la bouteille de champagne des creators car Xmen etait à plus de 300 000, plusieurs autres titres au dessus de 200 000 et la plupart des autres au dessus de 100 000.

sur les royalties P 157 byrne aurait gagné 325 000$ en 1985 avec par exemple un cheque de 30 000$ pour un seul numero de l année de FF. (on parlait des royalties il y a longtemps..)


J ai lu en diago.. donc c est pas exhaustif. il semble a premiere vue ne pas y avoir de chiffres des indés.. et moins chez DC que Marvel (c est pas un choix perso)

[Lapin Noir]

Hmmm, les chiffres paraissent énormes par rapport à ceux d'aujourd'hui... Mais combien coûtait un comics dans les années 80 aux États-Unis?? Si tu sais bien sûr. ;)

[doop]

ben autour de 1.5 / 1.9.

Mais attention, ce n'est pas comparable. A l'époque, il n'y avait pas grand chose d'autres pour occuper ... les jeunes....
Pas d'internet, la télé c'était avec parcimonie et il y avait à peine quelques jeux videos.

que ce soit sur les ventes de disques, de livres, les chiffres ont drastiquement baissé depuis 30/40 ans.

[Fred le mallrat]

non
j ai commencé en 1988 avec le comics à 1$ (1,50 pour les double siezd)
Uncanny Xmen est à 40c en 1980, 50 c à al fin de l annee
60 c en 82
65c en 85
75c en 86
1$ en 88
tjs le meme prix en decembre 1989

[archerhawke]

Les vieux numéros que j'ai commandé et qui ont environ 30 ans sont autour des 60cents.

[cyclopebox]

Ce que je trouve intéressant, c'est le pourcentage de progression des chiffres par rapport aux premiers numéros.

On a pas fini de voir des titres watchmen, non plus....
Si les résultats suivent.. DC et Marvel vont utiliser toutes leurs propriétés vendeuses (V pour vendetta 2 ou prequel? Marvelman dans le marvel universe..)

Sinon peut etre qu un relaunch Captain america aurait plus vendu (faut voir les chiffres) mais on peut atteindre le top 10 sans relaunch.. juste avec une nouvelle equipe creative.

un peu plus de marvel que d habitude.. mais je sens pas que ca va durer.

[Fred le mallrat]

Les chiffres
http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2018/2018-02.html

tres decevant pour Red xmen...
Pas terrible les cross Young Animal/DC (vers 23-25 000 au mieux)...

Les #1 ont pas trés bien marché ce mois ci.. (i on enleve les 40 à 50% habituels pour le 2... ca laisse pas grand chose..Mera, terricifs ou Brave & Bold serait vite à 20 000 et donc vite en dessous...)

bref en big two comme d hab.. seul batman vend convenablement.. le reste est decevant voire fait pitié.

[Butters]

tres decevant pour Red xmen...
Oui c'est 20 000 de moins que les #1 de Gold et Blue, mais franchement, c'est pas une catastrophe non plus.

Puis ce #1 n'a pas bénéficié de l'effet "relaunch" de la licence comme les deux autres et, au contraire, a peut être souffert de la qualité moyenne de ces set de la minie Return of JG.

Décevant oui, un peu forcément parce que les 100 000 ne sont pas atteints mais ça va je trouve.

[Fred le mallrat]

ben non... on av avoir un 2 a moins de 40 ou 50% puis un 3 à 20% de mos.. bref bien en dessous de 40 000 assez vite...

Les ventes sont de toutes facons toutes faibles.. seuls star wars et batman sont a niveau...
le reste est une honte... au lieu de gonfler artificiellement les ventes.. il serait temps d evraiment se pencher sur le souci qui est que jamais on a s i peu lu de marvel ou DC à un moment où leurs persos sont les plus connus et dominent le cinéma..
Soit on part du principe que les gens ne lisent plus et que c est fini.. soit il y a un souci.

[XXL]

Oui, c'est pas la fête, et surtout pas chez Marvel. J'ai trois analyses (november, décembre, janvier) qui sont en attente d'être publiées, là je m'attaque à février. J'étais bine remonté sur celle de Novembre, j'espère qu'elle ne va pas sauter, car elle commence à être vraiment vieille (je ne sais pas ce qui se passe).

[Jorus C'Baoth]

Pff Star Wars version Marvel ce n'est même pas forcément tellement mieux que version Dark Horse et pourtant, y a des titres dans le top 20

Young animal à 250000 c'est pas si mal vu que les titres était tous sous les 10000 sauf Doom Patrol

[Fred le mallrat]

YA a 25000 ou 20 000 ce st pas mal.. mais là c est Young Animal et la JLA...
Pour moi dans des ventes "normales" (Xavier parle de Marvel mais c est pas genial chez DC).. YA devrait etre vers 25 000 et un cross avec JLA au moins à 50 000
Mais pour moi Spiderman, Xmen, Avengers, Superman, JL devraient etre vers les 90 000 ou 100 000 mini... mini..
Cap, thor, Superman vers 60-70 000...

Il y a 324 millions d habitants... pas 60 millions... les chiffres Diamond devraient etre les ventes de BD en france...

Tu rêves ils sont partit sur les écans tactile, netflix et internet les jeunes. Le comics et la lectures c'est plus in (Croit moi je le vois au travail. Je suis en banlieue, les jeunes que j'ai rencontrer ne lisent plus de BD à partir de 10 ans et le Manga n'est pas mieux vu par la tranche des ados). Il leur faut tout, tout de suite et facile. Quand au fidèles, certain on été dégouter par les retboounch

il y a bien de la litterature jeunesse qui se vend plus que cela..
c est donc pas impossible.

C est pas qu une question de in. Un single c est entre 3 et 5 dollars. C est quoi ? Dix minutes de lecture quinze au max.

Donc pour 40 minutes de comics tu as Netflix !! Je suis désolé mais le choix est vite fait pour la nouvelle génération qui a le choix.

Moi j ai commence en 97 bah pour avoir ma dose d imaginaire j avais pas le choix. C était la lecture.

[mellencamp]

Une génération a été habituée à écouter de la musique sans payer, alors des singles à 4/5 dollars qui pour certains se lisent en 5 minutes, et pour lesquels tu dois aller exprès dans un comic-shop...
EDIT: ah ben un peu comme watchblue.
Slobo a évoqué le manga, qu'en est-il aux États-Unis? est-ce que c'est aussi populaire qu'en France?

Ya un probleme de prix et d’accès au comics. 4 $ dollars c'est le prix normal d'un comics.
Quand etudiant en 96 j'étais passé à la VO, c'etait quoi, 1$50 soit 12Fr le comics chez ma boutique Excalibur de Dijon ? Sacrée inflation en 20 ans. Et dire que je trouvais ca cher en comparant aux Stranges et autres de l'epoque.
12Fr de l'époque, c'est l'équivalent de 2€ aujourd'hui de ce que je vois sur un site calculant les prix.

[hannah]

Ton site calculant les prix doit bugger, 2 € correspondent à 13,11 francs.
Et je suppose qu' il ne tient pas compte de l' inflation... Regarder les salaires d' il y a 22 ans.

C est pas l inflation seulement. Avec 20 e j ai Deezer et Netflix ou même pas la gamme X-Men au complet tu rajoutes 20 e tu as UGC cine

Bah le choix est vite vu

Je n aurais que mon argent de poche aujourd'hui je ne lirais pas de comics

Alonso parti, Marvel continue quand les mêmes artifices pour gonfler les chiffres...

Here are the deals being offered for the biggest discounts.

Meet 350% of orders of AVENGERS #680 with orders of AVENGERS #1.

Meet 250% of orders of AVENGERS #680 with orders of AVENGERS #2

Meet 250% of orders of BLACK PANTHER #172 with orders of BLACK PANTHER #1

Meet 250% of orders of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VENOM INC OMEGA #1 with orders of VENOM #1

Meet 175% of orders of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #796 with orders of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #800

Each of these will also have tiered variant orders allowing retailers to order extra variant copies on top of these, which can often be sold for high prices. We mentioned some of the ones for Black Panther #1 but it will be true across the line. For example, Amazing Spider-Man #799 now has a 1:100 Alex Ross Virgin Cover variant, #800 has a 1:00 Gabriele Del’Otto Virgin variant and a 1:500 Alex Ross Virgin Variant.

les relaunchs Young animals partent mal...

En singles.... Mais c'est pile le genre De titres qui a plus d'"impact et de rentabilité en tpb albums librairie...

[Fred le mallrat]

Si tu relaunches c est pour attirer l attention sur les singles.. et donc que les ventes de singles t intéressaient..
Là ca n a pas fonctionné car ca vend a peine mieux que ce que vendaient les titres.. et en général la srtabilisation des ventes arrivent rarement avant le 4 (et en général plus vers le 7)
Je suis pas sur que les relaunchs est beaucoup d effets sur les ventes TP.. j ai jamais vraiment vérifiés mais en général c est assez stable et quand l idee du relaunch de Young Animal a été année c etait dans l espoir d attirer plus de mondes sur les singles comme le fait de faire un cross avec les héros DC (là aussi les ventes étaient plus du niveau YA que DC)..

Je dis pas que les ventes globales du label en TP sont mauvaises mais le relaunch lui n a pas fonctionné pour booster l ensemble

“13% of shame”

<p>Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I'm french, that's why I'm talking funny. Please adress your complaints to my country. For any information about the french magazine on US comics I'm editing –issue #86 on Alpha Flight & Carl Potts is out-, please send me a message using my e-mail adress from any of my own commentaries. You’ll notice that, since last month, I rank the Marvel books with their rank and evolution among the Marvel catalog, not the top 300.<br>
<br><br>
<br> Marvel sold 2.5 millions copies this month, down from 3,01 millions last month. There was still 12 titles doubling or tripling their sales to the comics shops, thanks to the Legacy variant & lenticular program, because shops needed to reach a certain sales level to unlock it. What’s 13%? 13% of this month Marvel sales to comics shops (throught Diamond) will likely never reach a customer, because they were only purchased to unlock the Legacy lenticular program. As stated last month, you will never find 2-3 times more customers for a title in November, just because Marvel managed to force comics shops into having 2 times more copies then they need. That’s 325*000 extra copies whithout a reader, whithout a buyer in a shop, whithout a purpose. <br>
<br>13%, that’s the shamefull number behind which Marvel hides a sales strategy not aimed at readers, not aimed at comic shops, not aimed at artists. That’s a strategy only aimed at $. “Take as much money as you can and run”, that’s pretty sums up Marvel current sales strategy. We need someone with a little more faith in our medium, in its readers, in its artists, in its struggling comics shops. Not someone desesperate to rip out as much money from a dying market as he can, and then slamming the coffin once there will be nothing more to take. We need someone strong, able to embrace the diversity of its readership, to listen to it. Someone who will stop congratulating himself for every crappy idea he will come with, knowing it will take apart a little more of what’s left. We need someone marvelous. Do you really aim at becoming ashamed of your brand name, Marvel? Wake up! Meanwhile, the depressing numbers are below.<br>
<br>Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it's not because a copy is sold to a shop that it's sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.<br>
<br> Many thanks to Milton Griepp and <a href="http://icv2.com/">ICv2.com</a> for the permission to use their figures.*Also thanks to <a href=«https://www.comics-zone.com/»>the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!)</a> for its help.<br>

<p>Seeing the amount of variant covers (lenticular homage, legacy headhsot, Granov variant, Steranko variant, trading card, blank ), seeing that this is kind of a return to his own title, the start of a new arc and of an acclaimed creative team (Mark Waid et Chris Samnee), that's almost weak. It says a lot about the state of Marvel sales right now. It shouldn't stay above 40K for very long. We'll see if the fact that it wasn't numbered #1 will in fact flatten the usual -50% to 60% fall from issue#1.</p>

<p>Well, what do YOU think*? Did somebody suddently fall in love with the Punisher title of did Marvel manage to make comics shops buy tons of copies of future unread and unsold copies of it*? Oh yeah, and because mixing characters is the new trend, the Punisher now has War Machine’s armor. So far, every character in the MU has become a skrull, a spider, a zombie, an Hulk, has been venomized, phoenixed or, worse, has become....a WOMAN*! </p>

<p>A new low for a title which was selling more than 40K 10 months ago. On the TPB side, this is unusually very quiet for the Deadpool franchise. Could this be the start of the end of the honeymoon of the Deadpool franchise with sales*?</p>

<p>The Gwenom storyline is bringing into 2K more readers. That's less than what a variant cover program would bring. Marvel has really put itself into a deadend with its sales policy. It seems that, no matter what, collectors tricks will now win, $-wise, over any effort directed toward promoting actually what's inside the comics. Can't tell nobody warned them about it! Now, let them deal with the consequences... </p>

<p>4 more issues to go. TPB sales have been on a flatline for years now. The Fraction/ Aja $100 omnibus sold almost 2*000 this month, which is great. But otherwise, that’s a cash machine that totally dried out, despite numerous attempt to restart it.</p>

Allez hop, on poursuit avec Decembre:
“A MONTH FULL OF GREY”

<p>Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I'm french, that's why I'm talking funny. Please adress your complaints to my “we love showing nipples while ice-skating”country. For any information about the french magazine on US comics I'm editing –special issue #16 on 11 exemples of crazy indenpendant us comics-, please send me a message using my e-mail adress from any of my own commentaries. You’ll notice that the Marvel books are ranked with their rank and evolution among the Marvel catalog.<br>
<br><br>
<br> Now that we have a look at the TOP500 each month (read Comichron.com for details), we realize that a lot of Marvel books are selling around 1-2K either one or two month after their release or, more supriginly, 2 years after. In the second case, that's probably an overstock, reoffered with a very nice discount. We will not include those here because there are a lot, it would triple the time it takes to write this column and pretty much confuse the general vision of a specific month sales. But it's good to know it exists. There were 92 Marvel comics in the top300 this month. That's more than usual because there was quite a bunch of Phoenix True believers books (reprints priced at $1). Phoenix and Venom are the two big things right now at Marvel. The Phoenix variant program as usual is adding something like 10% to every floppy it was applied to. Meanwhile, sales continue to fall. Sales after the 22th Marvel title are below 30K, that's worrying. Marvel announced their new relaunch program, Fresh Start. I know I won't have to scratch my mind too much to find an expression to qualify it (“F... of S...”) if it turns again into a false excuse to restart everything at #1, with many many variants and $5 or more priced issue. So far, looking at the sollicitations, it looks that way.<br>
<br>Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it's not because a copy is sold to a shop that it's sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.<br>
<br> Many thanks to Milton Griepp and <a href="http://icv2.com/">ICv2.com</a> for the permission to use their figures.*Also thanks to <a href=«https://www.comics-zone.com/»>the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!)</a> for its help.<br>

<p>Well, Marvel probably expected to go back to an healthier sales level than before the Captain Nazi thing but the last two years have seen a big decline in sales. So, that’s back to its usual sales level, despite two years of decline. Better than nothing.</p>

<p>The solicitation text is a little confusing. This is the first issue of a serie of 3 mini-series chronicling all of the X-Men history! Well, that’s ambitious, to say the least! Ed Piskor (Hip Hop Family Tree) is doing everything here. It’s 48p. It could easily become an X-men bestseller classic once collected. And it’s NOT overpriced: almost no ads, 40 pages of story, a very nice paper, an actual cover, and Ed Piskor unique point of vue. This is a move in the right direction.</p>

<p>Perfect behavior here. Marvel managed to keep 5 X-men issues from ongoing titles each month over 30K in the last 6 months. You can’t deny that’s a success. The only problem is when you compare those numbers to DC, where second-characters ongoing are selling at the same level if not better and big character ongoings way higher.</p>

<p> Ther Phoenix variant on #290 was hiding a -10% fall. Deadpool is falling over the 30K for the first time. It was selling two times that 1 year and a half ago. If the title is in no danger to be cancelled, this is quite worrying for Marvel’s floppy market.</p>

<p>No variant on both of the double shipping issues. Clearly, it seems like the numerous changes of creative teams after Aaron/Bachalo & Secret Empire cost some readers to the series. On the tpb side, the new volume is selling less than 1.5K. Perhaps it’s time to give up on the HCs and to have only one edition in TPB.< p>

<p>No variant. By now, it’s pretty clear that absolutely nobody watching a Marvel TV show or movie will enter a comics shop to buy a floppy of the same name. Perhaps it’s time to stop messing with the Marvel Universe (the real one, the paper one!): there are probably easier targets to aim at, like all those people who used to read Marvel comics but stopped for any reason.</p>

<p>Lots of interesting $1 reprints to pick up. I bought almost all of them. I can't figure out who would want to buy this so-90's-style confrontation beetween Sabretooth and Jean Grey. The Death of Phoenix is the Morrisson one and boy, some friends did say to me that the end of his run on X-Men was weak, but that was an understatement. It's really confusing, with this whole Magneto-Xorn mess. And when Phoenix's death arrives, you feel like you're missing pages in your comics! Otherwise, the Cylops and Marvel Girl reprint (X-Men 48) is probably one of the worst and out-of-character X-Men issues ever. But the Phoenix Bizarre Adventures reprint and the beautiful Jerry Bingham What If reprint are really a bargain! </p>

Allez zou, Janvier:

Je suis VERT que celle-ci n'ait jamais été publiée, j'avais quand même un super jeu de mots en titre!!!:huhu:

“GIMMICK, GIMMICK, GIMMICK A SUPER-HERO AFTER MIDNIGHT!”

<p>Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I'm french, that's why I'm talking funny. Please adress your complaints to my “we pay our electricians with Picasso paintings” country. For any information about the french magazine on US comics I'm editing –special issue #16 on 11 exemples of crazy independant us comics-, please send me a message using my e-mail adress from any of my own commentaries. You’ll notice that the Marvel books are ranked with their rank and evolution among the Marvel catalog.<br>
<br>An handfull of the artistic teams of the upcoming relaunch of the whole Marvel line are now known. So far, logic (Mark Waid on Dr Strange after his great mini-serie with Emma Rios) and surprise (Ryan Otlley on something else than Invincible) are “de mise”. As always, that’s probably not what the angry fanboys are expecting, because those angry fanboys for the most part are not buying modern mainstream anymore and prefer the activity to bitch about modern mainstream as a whole. I know, I fear I might be one of them. In retrospect, 1-2 years after their release, I realize that a super-hero comics was published by Marvel,which appealed to me. But, thanks to such a crappy job Marvel is doing promoting the content of a comics, and their even more crappier sales & price strategy, everything seems to be done to make me think I shouldn’t buy it. That’s how I discovered what a gem Dennis Hopeless & Javier Rodriguez’s Spider-Woman was. But, at the time of its release, the only information I noticed about this comics was its many variant covers (and among them a Manara stupid one), the many crossovers about Spider-Women, and what seems like endless relaunches and remunbering when, in fact, Dennis Hopeless & Javier Rodriguez were really building a nice chunk of run by themselves.<br>
<br>Dr Strange in Space by Mark Waid and Ryan Ottley on Spider-Man? On the paper, it should attract me. But double shipping, over pricing, endless renumbering, crossovers, tie-in and tons of variant making each issue uncoregnizable will probably kill my enthousiasm. It should all be about content and art. It’s not anymore. We are now approaching 15% of a comics sales done thanks to a variant program. It’s time to go back to the roots. Marvel, sell me your comics, not your covers, your movies, or your recipe for a mix between Venom, Punisher and Wolverine! You used to know how to do it. <br>
<br>Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it's not because a copy is sold to a shop that it's sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.<br>
<br> Many thanks to Milton Griepp and <a href="http://icv2.com/">ICv2.com</a> for the permission to use their figures.*Also thanks to <a href=«https://www.comics-zone.com/»>the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!)</a> for its help.<br>

<p>The weekly event No Surrender begins, with a $5 issue inflated by tons of variants. The others issues “only” have a connecting variant cover and an Avengers variant. If the result are not tremendous (we are only 4K over #674 sales level)), selling $17 of Avengers at more than 35K in one month is not a small feature. Issue #78 sales are divided in two editions, here added one to the other. </p>

<p>The Avengers variant doing its trick. We just fell over the 30K limit with this 36th Marvel title. That’s better than last month.</p>

<p>I hadn’t purchased a Marvel comics from the racks in years! This is awesome! Taking some minor liberties (tying everything up with the Phoenix Force), Ed Piskor is retelling here the entirety of the X-Men history until X-Men began reprinting old issues. His style is perfect for it, as it kind of place the X-Men both as pop culture icons and weird freaks. It’s really a bargain coming from Marvel. The first collection, giant-sized, in the same format than the Hip Hop book from Piskor, will go out in April, collecting those two issues with bonuses. If you have the money, purchase it, if not, those issues will do the trick (but you then need a good vision because there is a lot of small text). So far, that’s a decent amount of sales, with a second printing of #1 bumping up its sales. It could skyrocket in collected format and attract a Piskor or hip-hop public to mainstream comics.</p>

<p>3 variant covers. I am surprised Marvel was able to publish a comics with that name, seeing that DC used to publish Legion of Super-Heroes under the title The Legion less than 15 years ago. That’s pretty bad for DC that they have no Legion comics right now. With the Legion TV show and this, Marvel is stealing the name Legion from them. Legion could in the future mean more this than the Legion of Super-Heroes. That’s pretty sad for DC. </p>

Merci toujours intéressant à lire. Dommage que tu ne sois pas publier sur Beat tout de même du coup j'imagine que le gars qui fait DC à peut-être le même soucis !

Oui, j'ai noté que lui aussi n'a plus de chronique publiée. J'ai l'impression que Todd Allen se charge désormais d'analyser les ventes régulièrement, sous une autre forme.

[XXL]

Et hop, ma toute dernière chronique, la finale, restée inédite. Fais chier, j'avais encore une fois un super titre , compréhensible par les américains. Pfff:oups:

“VOULEZ-VOUS RELAUNCHER AVEC MOI ?”

<p>Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I'm french, that's why I'm talking funny. Please adress your complaints to my “I wouldn’t recommend you to book a train or flight in the next 3 months” country. For any information about the french magazine on US comics I'm editing –we are preparing an issue focusing on Indy 80’s super-heroes-, please send me a message using my e-mail adress from any of my own commentaries. You’ll notice that the Marvel books are ranked with their rank and evolution among the Marvel catalog.<br>
<br>Well, the Legacy fog is disspating very quickly, in light of the new announcements by Marvel: every title is scheduled to be renumbered/relaunched with a new creative team. Dan Slott is gaining Fantastic Four and Iron Man. This will be a good test to see if he will be able to lure some of his many Spider-Man followers –the best selling Marvel title for years- to those two titles. Chip Zdarsky, despite the disappointing sales level of his Spectacular Spider-Man has been signed exclusive at Marvel. So that means he will have many other opportunities to shine there so that, once his Marvel contract is done, he will be able to sell creator owned stuff at higher levels than before. Too bad we won't be able to see his stuff anywhere else meanwhile, but that's the usual pattern.<br>
<br>Those new first issues will be expensive and with tons and tons of variant covers. So far, nothing new under the sun. Will people have the opportunity to try out those new volumes or will Marvel, greedy as always, charge too much, double ship titles and release Annuals and tie-in thingies, so that almost nobody except the already Marvel die-hard fan will be able to follow the adventure of any of the core characters of the Marvel Universe? When you see the amount of mini-series and specials released around Wolverine and Infinity Schmuck, you have to wonder if the “new” Marvel will not , in fact, look more and more like its crossover-crazy 90’s counterpart. Starting this month, I will go farther than the top 300 concerning Marvel. I will also include reorders of titles already appearing in the top 300, as long as they are significant. I decide to add anything which would have reorder above 2K, which is a lot when your average title is selling less than 30 000. Thanks to that, we can see that Thanos and Avengers (as well as the Venom Inc crossover) are the title retailers are betting on or asked about by customers. <br>
<br>Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops situed in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that it's not because a copy is sold to a shop that it's sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. Digital sales are not taken into account.<br>
<br> Many thanks to Milton Griepp and <a href="http://icv2.com/">ICv2.com</a> for the permission to use their figures.*Also thanks to <a href=«https://www.comics-zone.com/»>the Comics Zone shop in Lyon (my city in France!)</a> for its help.<br>

Rise of the BP numbers are quite disappointing, as it was supposed the “Year One” origin for T’Challa aimed at any movie viewer mad enougth to enter one of the few comics shop left standing and asking not for a doll, not for a mug, not for a tee-shirt, but for an actual comic starring Black Panther. </p>

y avait quoi avec Venom #1 pour etre si haut?

[Butters]

6 Variants et une excellente preview (ainsi qu'un très bon numéro, disons le).


Par contre assez étonné du score de AC #1000...

[archerhawke]

Et Donny Cates sort d'un run sur Thanos qui a été plébiscité. C'est bien lui qui est sur Venom ?

[scarletneedle]

Yep.

[watchblue]

Je pourrais dire à mes filles que j ai connu un monde où un numéro 1 de Venom faisait 100000 de plus qu un Avengers 1

40 000 ex pour Doc Strange 1 et Hawkman 1.. c est pas super.. -40% avec le 2 et -30% avec le 3.. on risque vite d etre a des chiffres pas bons.. (don Doc 2 est à 33 000 ex.. ca tient pas mais bon c est le meme mois..)

bon ok unexpected, Plastic man, Antman ou Sentry 1 sont plus bas...

Bah, Marvel ne peut pas refourguer 35-40 couvertures pour chaque #1, il faut faire des choix... :D

[JulienSA80]

Bonjour à tous,

Le Peter Parker spectacular Spider-man est à moins de 30000 exemplaires quasiment 4 fois moins que l'ASM 801 (certes numéro fin de run). Ca fait vraiment peur sauf si Cates récupère.

[Fred le mallrat]

ce qui fait peur c est que quand tu enleves #1, variants, evenements spécial, hebdo etc etc.. les titres sont à 59 000 max a part Batman..
59 000 de précommandes.. pas de ventes au lecteur..

C est à pleurer...

C est cela le nerfs..
Avengers, Xmen, Spidey, Batman, Superman, JL ne doivent pas vendre sous 75 000..
Si ca vend moins les editeurs doivent chercher pourquoi et arranger cela.

[softverre]

Les comics DC exclusifs Walmarts sont un premier pas vers ça non ?

[Fred le mallrat]

je pense.. j espere

mais franchement etre concentré vers un public niche qui veut des produits plutot luxueux (et donc cher).. je suis pas sur que ca aide à avoir un grand public..

C'est à dire que les titres dont tu parles sortent à un rythme plus intense que le traditionnel mensuel, qu'il sont à minimum 4$, sont imprimés sur du papier de qualité médiocre (avec couverture pourrie également), et dans un single bourré de pub.


Ca n'aide clairement pas :D

Sérieusement quand on compare pour le même prix les singles que sortent Image et IDW, notamment, avec bon papier, pas de pub ou alors à la fin, bah oui ça ne motive pas pour franchir le pas chez les big two. J'ai tenté hein de suivre des certaines séries en single, chez Marvel et DC, mais le prix et le format à chier de ces derniers fait que non, aller, je prends en TP et c'est tout.

Donc oui, faudrait revoir leur copie, mais je ne pense pas que ce soit en projet. On mise plus sur les relaunch et event a piori (et les ventes des ~1 et des Event ne leur donnent pas forcément tort).

Faut faire que des relaunch, ou des gros events pour vendre, c'est dingue.
C'est étonnant que Elvira Mistress of Dark (https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?toolid=20001&campid=5338080155&customid=link&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2FModern-Age-1992-Now%2F900%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3DElvira%2 BMistress%2Bof%2BDark%2B1%2B2018) se vende aussi bien.

Sauf que là ils appartiennent à Disney qui a les reins plus que solides.
L'important pour eux est dominer le marché quitte à l'inonder et à changer tous les 6 mois.
oui, ils ont les reins solides chez Disney, mais je penses que si Disney a racheté Marvel c'est pour les droits sur les personnages & pour les films, la partie publication est secondaire, à force d'inonder le marché en permanence cela lasse les gens (les chutes des ventes sont là pour l'attester) et il y a un risque, comme ils ne sont pas des philanthropes, qu'un jour ils décident d'arrêter l'édition

[scarletneedle]

Et se priver de scripts clé en main?

[chouetteunhibou]

vu le nombre d'histoires racontés depuis les années 60, le stock de scripts déjà payés & existants est conséquent

Tom King cartonne avec deux titres bien placés dans le TOP 10. Par contre Superman, Avengers, Action Comics ou encore Uncanny X-Men c'est la douche froide.

[Fred le mallrat]

Moi comme d'hab tout me choque..
la plupart des titres mensuels sont à moins de 70 000.. il y a des titres DC et Marvel en dessous du top 100 mais en plus en dessous de 18 000 et en plus en dessous de 10 000... du jamais vu...

Seuls les indés s en sortent bien avec des ventes qui em semble avoir moins baissé que le big two.. et donc qui sont à des places interessantes dans le top...

La stratégie du Big two les affaiblit l un l autre et ne porte pas tant préjudices aux indé (surtout image.. apres.. je suis moins sur pour les petits editeurs qui eux doiven ptir du manque de visibilité dans les comics shops)
Mais pour image et d autres indé, le fait d avoir attiré des grands noms sur le creator porte ses fruits car je ne pense pas qu il y ait eu beaucoup de periodes où le creator était si bien represénté dans le top 200 (les débuts d image et de legend? le debut du direct market?)

Mais Marvel et DC... ils peuvent toujours se gausser de leurs coups marketting.. mais a part Batman (qui est descendu quan dmême en dessous de 90 000).. on est vite dans le ventre mou en dehors des events, minis ou lancements...

Pathétique mais quan dmême on sent aussi le gout assez conservateur ds lecteurs.. on sort pas des titres connus et même sur pas mal d editeurs indé on retrouve des franchises connues..

Qu'est-ce qui va rester sur les bras des magasins tandis que Marvel s'en cogne?

Marvel has announced several discount incentives for retailers to raise theie orders for Marvel Comics #1000. This 96-page one-shot is one Editor-In-Chief C.B. Cebulski has publicly hoped will sell over 1 million copies.

"The last comic to sell a million copies was Star Wars #1. Which was almost five years ago. I feel it's about time we publish another title that sells over seven figures. And I think I have an idea..." Cebulski said cryptically on his personal Twitter back on May 3.

Retailers can receive up to a 15% discount on Marvel Comics #1000 if they order more than they did War of the Realms #6. The scale of the discount is determined by the amount ordere - 15% if they order double, 10% if they order 75% more, or 5% if they order 50% more.

The deadline for retailers to place their initial orders of Marvel Comics #1000 is July 15, with a scheduled on-sale date of August 28.

De pire en pire...

Marvel are rolling out discounts and window clings for the upcoming Absolute Carnage event. Series writer Donny Cates has said that he and artist Ryan Stegman think the book will outsell 1993's X-Men #1 - which sold 8,104, 611 copies. They even released this graphic seen above.

The publisher is offering up to 15% off Absolute Carnage #1 and #2 if they meet or exceed certain thresholds tied to Venom #16. For #1, ordering 275% (or more) of that Venom issue will get you 15% off. If your orders are 225% of Venom #16, it's 10% off; for 175% orders, it's 5% off.

For Absolute Carnage #2, there's a 250% order threshold tied to Venom #16 for 15% off. The 10% discount is availble for orders double that of the Venom issue, or 5% for orders 150% of that issue.

The publisher is sending a free Absolute Carnage window cling to Diamond's biggest 3,000 accounts on July 31.

The deadline for initial retailer orders of Absolute Carnage #1 is July 15, with a scheduled August 7 release date.

Commander trop pour payer "moins" et ça te reste sur les bras...

[Gassian]

Autant je peux arriver à croire que ces multiples rabais conditionnels permettent au pseudo Marvel Comics #1000 de passer la barre du million, autant les 8 millions d'X-Men me semblent totalement hors de portée pour Absolute Carnage.
Je pense pas que Cates disait ça sérieusement, quand même.

[scarletneedle]

Ce sont surtout les couvertures qui vont le permettre pour Marvel Comics, je mes vois bien refaire le coup de Star Wars #1.

[mrcitrouille]

En même temps, tant qu'il y a des pigeons... je veux dire des retailers pour tomber dans le panneau et des lecteurs prêt à dépenser des fortunes pour avoir plusieurs fois le même comics genre 80 euros pour 4 variants de Detective Comics 1 000 chez Album... Je ne cautionne pas la politique de Marvel - qui ne fonctionne qu'à court terme - mais bon si l'ensemble des acteurs disait "non" Marvel arrêterait

[Gassian]

L'occasion de relire les propos pleins de sagesse prononcés par Brian Hibb lors du dernier retailer summitt de février 2019 :

Rarement lu quelque chose d'aussi lucide et complet sur l'état du marché des comics aujourd'hui.

xmen aussi c etait les covers et déjà un paquet sont restés sur les bras des retailers et ont finis en soldes..
un eternel recommencement

[scarletneedle]

Ca fait plaisir de voir que, malgré tous ses effets d'annonces, Cebulski continue la politique du ridicule...
Entre ça et les morts qui comptent, c'est comme si Alonso n'était jamais parti...

Cebulski est à Alonso ce que Hollande fut à Sarkozy. Tu remplaces un petit maigre un peu nerveux par un joufflu débonnaire,
mais pour le reste ... :huhu:

(Sérieux, à leur place, je serais allé tirer Stephen Wacker de son exil doré sur la Coté Ouest et je lui aurais fait un pont d'or pour qu'il accepte le poste d'EiC)

[Fred le mallrat]

Oui sauf qu a un moemnt Alonso il avait un beau car,net d adresse.. Cebulsky on vante toujours le seins mais j ai jamais rien vu à la fin.
Mais bon si c est comme cela c est peut etre le président qui ne change rien..

Apres c est sur que le changement ne m a pas paru si flagrant que cela..
Le souci pour moi est clairement un manque de politique editoriale autre que faire ce qu il faut pour faire du chiffre... ils auraient trés bien pu prendre Harras, quoi.. (pas même méthode mais bon..)
Là aussi les changements editoriaux chez Marvel et DC depuis quelqies a,nnées ne laissnt aps présager du meilleur. On est pas sur du choix "creatif"

On est un peu comme dans le Marvel des 90's... qui mettait en avant les personnages... là c est les univers.. comme si sans creatifs ca allai marcher à moyen terme.

[Fred le mallrat]

Un lien trouvé sur BC que je trouve assez clair..
Oui même Xmen 1 de 1991 avait un tas d exemplaires finissant dans le bac a soldes..

https://www.newsarama.com/45732-marvel-offer-retailer-discounts-to-stoke-marvel-comics-1000-orders.html
bon tu vas me dire.. Marvel Comics 1000 s il a voulu penser a cela.. je sais pas comment il a pu croire cela possible.
Je pense quand meme que les xmen de Hickmann devrait vendre plus que Marvel Comics 10000 et que spiderman par le fils abrams mais 1 000 000 il faudrait des covers en pagailles, de sincencitives et du lootcrate (puisque star wars ce tait déjà cela sinon c etait 600 000)..

[scarletneedle]

Beaucoup de couvertures exclusives.
Le #2 sera aux alentours des 25.000 et plus personne n'en parlera...

[EsseJi]

J'ai fait parti du phénomène en craquant pour la Young variant, sans préco le #2. :oups:

Mais c'est vrai que je n'aurai pas imaginé que ce titre soit numéro 1.
Je pense que Marvel va encore squatter le haut du tableau pour juillet, notamment avec House of X/Powers of X, le one-shot X-Statix et History of the Marvel Universe. Et en août je sens que ça va être serré entre Marvel Comics #1000 et Spawn #300.

[mrcitrouille]

Black Cat en 1er est pour moi le signe que ça va très mal et que le marché ne tient en partie que sur des gimmicks comme ces variants à la con (enfin genre 42 couv pr un seul et même titre)

Je vais parti de ceux qui trouve que Marvel est redevenu très intéressant (peut être même le meilleur éditeur sur un créneau mainstream élargi) si on sait regarder et fouiller dans l'étouffe chrétien qu'est son offre actuellement.

Le one-shot X-Statix est excellent. Un pur plaisir de lecture de la première à la dernière page. Et quand on sait que la suite arrive ....

Sinon, Bleeding Cool a depuis quelques mois une étude en fonction du nombre de titres sortis par éditeur (vu que Marvel inonde le marché à dessein) : https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/07/15/dc-comics-beats-marvel-marketshare-per-capita-june-2019-dynamite-fourth/

Si les ventes de Batman sont les mêmes que le mois dernier (autour de 80 000), le Black Cat se serait "vendu" à environ 250 000 exemplaires !

Sinon, Bleeding Cool a depuis quelques mois une étude en fonction du nombre de titres sortis par éditeur (vu que Marvel inonde le marché à dessein) : https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/07...namite-fourth/
Il faudrait peut-être aussi penser à un classement excluant les #1 ;)
Cela dit, je pense que la modération de DC en matière de sorties paiera sur le moyen terme. Depuis le début de l'année, ils ont sorti environ 1/4 de comics en moins mais leur perte en dollars n'est que de 5% (grâce en partie au Detective Comics 1000, mais pas seulement).

[Fred le mallrat]

255000 y a quoi en plus des 75 variants pour en arriver là? Loot crate?
https://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2019/2019-06.html

edit
ah oui un truc avec Wallmart..
Mouais Immortal hulk se vend bien apres...
Dceased marque le coup par contre Superman Year One ou Leviathan.. c est surement pas ec qui était prévu...
on arrive generalement trop vite aussi à 22 000...

Je viens d elire invaders 1 et j ai bien aimé.. je suis déprimé par les ventes du 6

[EsseJi]

Non juste Walmart comme dit dans l'article. On ne peut ignorer l'influence de la chaine de magasins dans les habitudes de consommation des américains.

[ArnaudXIII]

Ca sort vraiment de nulle part. Jed McKay? Jamais entendu parler. Foreman, il tourne depuis un moment mais pas le genre d'artiste qui fait que tout le monde va se jeter sur un titre. Alors même s'il y a 36 000 variants, pourquoi autant de pré-commande. Je comprends vraiment plus rien.

A une époque, les revendeurs US pouvaient tout retourner sur les premiers numéros d' une série. Si ça fonctionne encore, on devrait plutôt évoquer une mise en place que des ventes réelles.

[scarletneedle]

Ce que j'ai toujours dit mais bon ça permet à Marvel de se la péter...
et aux acheteurs de faire des affaires dans les caisses à 1$ :D

Et si ça se vend à ce prix, autant continuer à les proposer, voire à les faire monter encore plus.
