Le Top 50 d'AOUT
https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/ ... ugust-2024Les mutants reprennent leurs droits en tête des charts (mais bon on est qu aux 1 voire au 2). Ultilmate et Batman tiennent bon. J ai l impression que Spidey décroche.
Alien Vs Avengers 14eme? ca me parait etre un echec...
Wonder Woman tient bien (bon c est un tie in Absolute power mais )

Venom War

73 Venom War: Carnage #1 (Venom War)
88 Venom War: Venomous #1 (Venom War)
126 Venom War Zombiotes #1 (Venom War)
Venom War had one comic in the Top 10, one comic in the Top 25, and three comics in the Top 50.
Venom War #1 had an impressive debut taking the number 5 spot. This five-issue mini-series from Al Ewing looks like it is going to be a sales hit. Having said that, while the main title in Venom War was a huge sales success, the tie-in titles all had unimpressive debut numbers.
Absolute Power

130 Absolute Power Origins #2 (Of 3)
156 Absolute Power #1 (Of 4) (Resolicitation)
166 Absolute Power Task Force VII #3 (Of 7) (Resolicitation)
Absolute Power had two comics in the Top 10, three comics in the Top 25, and four comics in the Top 50. This was better/worse/flat than July 2024 when Absolute Power had zero comics in the Top 10, three comics in the Top 25, and six comics in the Top 50.
Absolute Power #2 climbed from the number 15 spot to the number 7 spot. This is what I expected from this four-issue big event. Absolute Power’s debut issue got caught up in an odd shipping schedule for the June 2024 and July 2024 rankings. I would expect Absolute Power to remain a Top 10 seller.
Absolute Power Task Force VII #4 climbed from the number 98 spot to the number 62 spot. Absolute Power Task Force VII #5 then fell to the number 107 spot.
Absolute Power Origins #2 fell from the number 88 spot to the number 130 spot. This three-issue mini-series has been a total sales failure. Everyone outside of a DC editor knew this was going to happen. John Ridley is a Hollywood guy who has never had sales success in mainstream superhero comics. And this title centers on Amanda Waller who is just not as popular as DC Comics thinks she is. Obviously, this mini-series will conclude well into the Dead Titles Walking category.
Absolute power est donc un succés le début était coincé entre 2 mois.
Venom wars sera un succés pour la mini mais n arrive pas a entrainer les tiens ins crées.

Pas sur que le marché STar Wars soit en floppy.. mais bon j en sais rien
Captain America #12 plummeted from the number 43 spot to the number 140 spot. This is the lowest that we have seen this JMS title since it debuted.
On dirait que le titre plonge sous la periode Kelly/Lazing
Scarlet witch sort du TOP 75 (84)
je suis pas le seul à s interroger sur les eux relaunchs et leur effet... Orlando devait pas avoir eu un titre aussi vendeur que la première série...
Alors certes ca fera un long run en tout et un gain asuré pour Marvel. Mais je pense que le titre serait mieux classé sans ces artifices et que donc sur la longueur ca aurait ete mieux...
Dead Titles Walking
Based on historical numbers from the Comichron as well as projections through April 2022, titles outside of the Top 100 are usually selling under the 18,000 unit sales mark. These are the Marvel Comics and DC Comics titles that are dead titles walking.

Image Comics had forty-one dead titles walking out of Image Comics’ fifty-four new titles in August 2024. This means that 76% of the new Image Comics titles in August 2023 were dead titles walking.
This was up from the thirty-nine dead titles that Image Comics had in July 2024 which comprised 75% of Image Comics’ new titles.
This highlights the importance of profitable licenses from Hasbro and Universal since all of the other random indie titles from Image Comics fail to even make the Top 200.
Image Comics took third place with twenty-five new comics in the Top 200 in August 2024.

BOOM! Studios had eighteen dead titles walking out of BOOM! Studios’ nineteen new titles in August 2024. This means that 95% of the new BOOM! Studios titles in August 2023 were dead titles walking.
It is disappointing to see how poorly the Power Rangers titles are performing. The Power Rangers should be a valuable license. One needs to only look over at Image Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, and IDW Publishing to see how properties from the 1960s-1990s can perform well in the Top 200.
Having said that, I am not surprised that the two Power Rangers titles are dead titles walking. The farther BOOM! Studios gets away from the classic Power Rangers and the more “modern” their take on the Power Rangers gets the less popular it will become.
Power Rangers: Infinity #1 failing to even debut in the Top 200 is a total disaster. This is no surprise as this comic looked as cringe as possible.
BOOM! Studios took fourth place with seven new comics in the Top 200 in August 2024.

Titan Comics had twelve dead titles walking out of Titan Comics’ twelve new titles in August 2024. This means that 100% of the new Titan Comics titles in August 2023 were dead titles walking.
The Conan license continues to be a sales blessing to Titan Comics. The Gun Honey franchise also continues to be a solid seller for Titan Comics.
Titan Comics tied for sixth place with three new comics in the Top 200.

IDW Publishing had twelve dead titles walking out of IDW Publishing’s thirteen new titles in August 2024. This means that 92% of the new IDW Publishing’s titles in August 2023 were dead titles walking.
My Little Pony franchise appears to be dead in the water with all three titles from that franchise going unranked.
Even more concerning is that the Star Trek license appears to be useless in the hands of IDW Publishing. Both Star Trek titles went unranked. IDW Publishing continues its trend of fumbling its licenses. The best move Hasbro made was pulling their license from IDW Publishing.
IDW Publishing tied for sixth place with three new comics in the Top 200 in August 2024.

Oni Press had six dead titles walking out of Oni Press’ eight new titles in August 2024. This means that 75% of the new Oni Press titles in August 2023 were dead titles walking.
Oni Press took eighth place with two new comics in the Top 200. Both were EC titles.
Bon je relativiserai tout en disant que le TOP 100 est surtout historiquement un plancher pour Marvel.
DC laissait certains titres dont vertigo presque au porte du top 200 et pour les indés.. j ai jamais connu le plancher.
Coté Marvel Namor doit etre une deception.. Chez DC Green Arrow ne decolle pas malgré Absolute Power.. Flash..
