zzzzzz same ol', same ol'. What new info is really being offered each month? How about focusing on titles that are placing high on their initial orders? Or picking one or two titles and interviewing the creators on what they know about the numbers. Because clearly Diamond's list isn't complete.

I actually find the information posted in this article quite interesting and much easier to understand thanks to the charts and the analysis.

people please at least try something thats not Marvel or dc

Over here http://www.renderwrx.net/comicindustrysales.htm

is the filtered out list of just non marvel & dc titles sales as reported by Diamond for February (and every month).

Truth be told, indy's are steady in the direct market from what I can tell. The big name indy titles like Spawn and such are down, but many indy titles are pretty steady. The graphic novel list month in and month out is dominated by non marvel/dc books.

So draw your own conclusion. Check those lists linked above for proof.
