Wes964 Collector in Training Location: Stillwater, OK Posts: 1 My Collection	Posted: July 11, 2016 5:58:45 pm DC Rebirth was my favorite in terms of artistic/writing quality. But Cap #1 went up the most in value, to $15, compared to $8 for Rebirth and no change for Civil War II.

I don't think anyone knew how hot Rebirth was going to be (issues have been selling out same day release at my local comic shop) and I admit I had a very pessimistic view when I first heard about it. But right now it's what I have been reading and enjoying. ... I don't even pick up Marvel books anymore. We strike hard and fade away into the night

Stats don't say that - http://www.diamondcomics.com/Home/1/1/3/237?articleID=181127 Marvel did print 54 more books in June so that will boost them...guess we'll see what happens in July. I think once the "Collectors/Investors" quit buying the new Rebirth books then you'll get a closer idea to how the books are really doing.

Rapha1978 Comic Guru Location: North Carolina Posts: 939 My Collection	Posted: July 12, 2016 11:17:26 am Well I am located here in Charlotte NC and I am just going by what I am seeing. I visit 3 of the major comic book stores here in our city every week including Heroes who also organize the big Heroes Con here. I can tell you that what I am seeing is all the Rebirth titles selling out the same day they hit the stands. You go in the next day and Marvel titles are all sitting there on the shelves but DC's are sold out. I have had to drive all the way to South Carolina to pick up a few issues the first two weeks Rebirth came out because no one in town had any and I did not put them in my subscription list. From what the owners are telling me they pre-order comics 3-4 months in advance and they did not realize these were going to be so hot. Marvel prints almost twice as many books compared to DC from those stats. And DC hit almost 29.93% while Marvel hit 40.08% of retail. That's not much of a margin gap considering less books are being printed. Last edited July 12, 2016 11:21:17 am We strike hard and fade away into the night

I think speculators are picking up multiples and flipping them so sale numbers are out of wack, once they get 10-12 issues in things will level out. Yeah I did mention that Marvel did release more and I think with DC adding new titles over the month of July that number should get a bit closer and then we will be able to see what's happening. Personally I don't care either way as most of the stuff they do is meh at best. "Disliking everything is not the same thing as having an opinion"

Marvel sold 4,009,721 units to stores and accounted for 47% of the top 300 comics. DC had 36.61% of the total units which equates to 3,123,138 units. The Rebirth initiative boosted DC sales to being on the lower side of twice average monthly sales for the early months of 2016. DC had 15 of the top 20 titles. The other publishers sold 1,399.117 units and accounted for the remaining 16.4% of the total units for the top 300. Neither Marvel nor DC had a record number of units in the top 300. Instead, it was a case of a rising tide seemingly benefiting everyone. DC had the largest increase in sales because of Rebirth, and the "Civil War II" event boosted sales for Marvel. RELATED: "Civil War II" Sells Over 500K Copies in June, "Batman" Cracks 400K Eleven series sold over 100,000 issues, accounting for 1,857,065 units. Those eleven items sold more than the bottom 3/5th of the top 300 combined. Those same eleven items also outsold the combined output of all of the publishers on the list -- other than Marvel and DC.

GenesisDay07 Teacher Location: South Africa, Cape Town Posts: 307 My Collection	Posted: July 13, 2016 2:20:03 am I've ALWAYS been more into DC than Marvel, but it really doesn't matter to me either way 'cause I collect both as well as other publishers stuff. I don't like to get hung up on whose better and whose not . . . they both have good stuff and both have bad stuff. Any time when any event pulls new people in, I feel like it's a win for us all.
