Diamond Comics has released its sales figures for March 2016. Batman #50 was the best-selling comic of the month, with an estimated 163,406 copies sold. Boom Studios’ new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series followed in second place, with the first issue selling an estimated 119,536 copies.
Superman #50 also managed to crack the top ten. However, the remaining seven spots were all claimed by Marvel, with multiple Star Wars comics, Deadpool #8 and International Iron Man #1 all selling well. DC’s recent Loot Crate-exclusive Harley Quinn comic didn’t appear on the charts, which suggests it wasn’t sold through Diamond like previous Loot Crate-exclusive comics have been.
The top ten best-selling comics for March 2016 included:
1) Batman #50 (DC)
2) Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1 (Boom)
3) Star Wars #17 (Marvel)
4) Superman #50 (DC)
5) Amazing Spider-Man #9 (Marvel)
6) Star Wars: Darth Vader #17 (Marvel)
7) Star Wars: Darth Vader #18 (Marvel)
8) Deadpool #8 (Marvel)
9) International Iron Man #1 (Marvel)
10) Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha #1 (Marvel)
In terms of graphic novel sales, Image won the day with the latest volume of The Walking Dead, which sold an estimated 19,049 copies. It was followed by Paper Girls Vol. 1 in second place and the reprint of Marvel’s Civil War collection in third.
