Les chiffres affinés : https://www.cbr.com/sales-charts-dir...-january-2018/
Pas glorieux...

Le retour de Jean Grey sous les 50000 : c'est un mauvais début

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

Les chiffres
http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomi...8/2018-02.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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

T'as raison, selon le site de l'insee, en fait ca fait 2,41€

https://www.insee.fr/fr/information/2417794

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

bon apres au prix de netflix j ai Marvel unlimited (et j utilise plus MU que netflix)

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

Citation:

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...

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

apres dans le reseau comic shops, ca marche mais c est pas un succes non plus en TP

“13% of shame”

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. 
 
 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. 
 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. 
 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. 
 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.

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.

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*!

Marvel's flagship title will fall below 50K for the first time in years. We used to think not that many years ago that 100K was the dreamed goal titles had to reach to be super sellers at Marvel. Now, it will be 50K. Two times less. That's mind blowing.

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...

For the first time, there is no noticeable TPB activity for Ms Marvel this month. Seeing that her floppy sales really took a blow since last year (half of it disappeared), that could be the sign that the franchise is no longer a cash machine for Marvel.

11/17 Power Pack #63 - 15,360</pre>

I am so eager to read this one. Their last bunch of mini-series in the Marvel all-age line were quite good, but those are the original ones. And there is a June Brigman variant (at last variants are good for something).

You can see that Marvel made the right decision, canceling this one in 3 issues, looking at the first TPB sales numbers: less than 1*500 copies sold to comics shops. 90’s nostalgia has its limits.

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.

 Now that the FF and X-Men license are back home, that the Inhumans TV show tanked, we can safely assume that, seeing the very poor results of Marvel pushing out the Inhumans comics for years, Royals was the last and final serious attempt.

Thanks for reading until the end! I hope to see you next time. Meanwhile, feel free to comment, express your rage or your love for french sarcasm! I'll hug everyone, no matter what.

Merci XXL parce que je l'attendais ^^

Allez hop, on poursuit avec Decembre:

Citation:

“A MONTH FULL OF GREY”

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. 
 
 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. 
 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. 
 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.

<pre>2- AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VENOM INC ($5)

12/17 ASM Venom Inc alpha – 69.600
</pre>

Venom is poisoning the Marvel catalog. Like always, expect to get sick of it pretty quickly. Seeing the few amount of variants, that’s quite a nice level to start this event.

Tons of variant. The return to reality might be way less enthousiastic than it seems to. This is the first step toward relaunching Fantastic Four.(and get you sick of it).

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.

</pre>

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.

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.

 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.

.Many many variants + start of a new arc. Sales of the new TPB (vol 8) are still good but heading toward normalcy. Vol.1 is showing its head again, heading toward 50K in comics shops only. (which means it probably cracked 100K).

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.

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.

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!

Ouch, and it’s worse than that because there is a Phoenix variant. Now you understand why Marvel used the Captain America brand to promote its previous Falcon series. Nobody “stealed” your Captain America, fanboys, they only used its serie title to make you try a serie you wouldn’t have bought otherwise. With numbers like that, it shouldn’t be part of “Marvel All Fresh All Different Start Now”.

A new low for the serie. The new TPB is out and the numbers are awful, barely cracking 1K. Perhaps it’s time to call it a day. Marvel really pushed the character as much as they could but the results just won’t stick.

Totally failed to convert readers of the mini to the ongoing. And failing to keep the ones who did it.

 
 

Thanks for reading until the end! I hope to see you next time. Meanwhile, feel free to comment, express your rage or your love for french sarcasm! I'll hug everyone, no matter what.

Panini ne doit pas te lire... :D
(Marvel non plus :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:

Citation:

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

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. 
 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. 
 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. 
 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. 
 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.

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.

But just behind is Darth Vader, bouncing back because of a Galactic Icon variant, also applied on Star Wars. Darth Vader has lately done a better job at levelling out so I would put my money on Darth Vader being the best selling Marvel title next month. TPB sales are in heaven with a moderate deperdition of readers from one TPB volume to the other.All the volume are back in the chart this month!

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

01/18 Marvel Grand Design Ltd # 2 of 2 - 28,853 (-31.4%)
</pre>

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.

No variant and still Angel Unzueta on pencils. I remember fondly the awesome work he did on his first mainstream US comics on the Legion of the Damned storyline (of Legion of Super-Heroes) which also saw the debut of Olivier Coipel. That was 20 years ago. Still, no variant=big fall, that’s the rule, folks.

<pre>52- LEGION LTD [E]

01/18 Legion Ltd #1 of 5 – 22,722
</pre>

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.
