Back in 2012 Image comics could actually gain in sales
that wont happen now
if readership grows on a title then back issues prices go up
if all these new image titles don’t grow in readership than the #1’s are never gonna be worth much
Comic sales need to grow or stay consistent and not continually drop month to month.
Lets analyze some of the recent Image titles.
Great Pacific
#9 4,700 an ongoing that just isn’t going anywhere sales wise
Those sales are really weak for a Image ongoing title
Bounce #1 was 24,000 and #4 is 9,000
Sheltered #1 19,000 and #2 is only 9,000
Ghosted #1 17,000 and #2 is 10,000
no wonder they stated both issues sold out LOL
cause nobody ordered them
Chin Music #1 22,000 and #2 was 14,000
notice the trend that most #2’s drop by about 40%
that is a huge drop
need to stablize by issue #3 or these titles are in trouble
Sex #1 was 23,000 and now at #6 its at 14,000 – that title has done quite well !!
sex has only lost about 40% by issue #6
thats actually more popular than most
Ten Grand #1 57,000 and #4 is at 19,000
thats a drop of 60% by issue #4
not a good sign
though of course it started way too high
Satellite Sam #1 32,000 and now #2 20,000 – again about 40% drop instantly
Lazarus #1 was 48,000 down to #3 24,000 – 50% by #3
East of West #1 49,000 to #5 36,000
that is super strong – barely lost any readers in 5 issues
Saga #1 37,000 and #13 is 55,000 – a gain in readership of 50% – SUPER HOT !
Walking Dead #1 6,000 and #114 is 70,000 – a gain in readership of 1200%
Its a simple formula release a great comic that readership grows and demand for back issues also grows
The 3 Image titles on this list that have held the most readers are also the most valuable demanded back issues !
