I've also been trying out Boom Studio's

also use to get some things from Dynamite (mainly Army of Darkness) but not much going for it for me now.

- New readers will fall into the trap.

Pros:
- You can try instead one of the many independant comics that are better than the mainstream ones.
- It happens so often that you can resell full runs without too much trouble.
- It makes you stop giving a sh_t faster.

Cons:

- People no longer know how to count up to 100.
- Marvel gets richer and you feel guilty of going to watch their movies.

Those aren't particularly representative ones. IF just got a crap relaunch, Cap five years ago was right off of his return... dunno about Ghost Rider.

Spider-man, on the flip side, is up. June 2011, two issues in the 50ks. June 2014, 100k and 80k (not using July because July 2011 had a 'special' issue, but the total's still less).

Deadpool was at 27k, now he's at 49k... and involved in multiple "Deadpool vs X" books that go from 54k to 36k.

Different books move up and down.

Btw, where are you getting the unit totals per company? I can find the overall, but not Marvel or DC only.

Going by the overall, so far, 2014 has 46 million units in the top 300, and 2011 had 37.9 million by it's July. Considering Marvel's had good market share throughout... it seems odd that their total units would drop.

In the DC estimates thread at CBR forums. Some poster did both DC's and Marvel's. DC's is still pretty healthy, but when you look at the numbers all books drop (except for a select few). Both Marvel and DC's drop lower than previous years, which is why they continuously shake things up, double ship, and relaunch their books.
