THREAD: The new ICV2/Comichron sales report generated a lot of questions, so here's a catchall thread for some answers. Most of what's been asked is answered directly in the report somewhere (read it!), but some other answers are easy enough, or have been addressed in past years. Q: Who are you guys?
A: @ICV2 is a pop-culture business site run by Milton Griepp, who ran the first true sales charts in the 1980s. @comichron is an archive of historical circulation data curated by me. I ran the trade magazine for the industry for a decade and still keep track.

Summer 2021 found comic-book sales at one of their highest points in the last 25 years. The Top 300 comics sold at least 24.2 million copies in June-August, more than any summer quarter except 2016 ("DC Rebirth") and 1997 (which had twice as many stores).
comichron.com/yearlycomicssa… Image As we often note, comics unit sales have kept relatively stable across the last 25 years, with just four summers below 18 million copies and three above 24 million. Our 2021 estimate, based on months starting at bit.ly/Jun21Comics, is even a bit low, as it lacks DC reorders.
