This is now all of the Archie titles except for Veronica (which must have the figures in #187, which I haven’t got yet) as well as Sonic X (should be #30, not yet released). Update: right here are the Veronica numbers.
Let’s do some (very basic) analysis. right here are the titles in buy of best- to worst-selling based on typical sales (the very first number).
Betty & Veronica double Digest
Archie’s double Digest
Archie’s friends ‘n’ Gals double Digest
Jughead’s double Digest
Archie Digest
Betty & Veronica Digest
Tales From Riverdale Digest
Jughead as well as buddies Digest
Sonic the Hedgehog
Archie
Betty & Veronica
Archie & Friends
Jughead
Sabrina the teen Witch
Betty
Betty & Veronica Spectacular
I suspect that Veronica’s solo title will be down there in the bottom, too. The last title provided is the magazine-format one, by the way. As expected, the digests do much better than the comic-format titles, as well as the bigger books are a lot more prominent than the smaller. Digests are 96 pages for $2.59; double digests are 192 for $3.69, making them the very best offer available in newsstand comics, particularly now that DC as well as marvel are pushing the $3.99 barrier (for 32 pages, normally with “upgraded” cover). The top-selling digest offers approximately three times the top-selling comic, as well as in issues, Sonic offers 6-7,000 a lot more than the top Archie book.
Sorting by a lot of recent sales, the only modifications are that Archie digest as well as Jughead’s double digest switch locations and, surprisingly, Betty jumps up three locations to wind up ahead of Archie & Friends. That’s considerable due to this next measurement. I’m checking out portion growth based on comparing the typical figure to the (usually higher) a lot of recent problem figure.
Here’s the books in order:
Archie digest — over 35% growth
Archie’s friends ‘n’ Gals double digest — this as well as the next three show double-digit growth of 11-15%
Betty & Veronica Digest
Betty & Veronica double Digest
Jughead’s double Digest
Tales From Riverdale digest — right here it drops to single-digit rises
Archie’s double Digest
Betty & Veronica
Jughead as well as buddies Digest
Archie
Betty
Sonic the Hedgehog — successfully zero point, no change
Betty & Veronica Spectacular — here’s where the declines start, down 6.4%
Jughead — down 9.7%
Archie & buddies — down 10.6%
Sabrina the teen Witch — down 11.1%
Now, I have no concept if that stat indicates anything. These numbers may be seasonal, or my assumption that a person wants the most recent to show growth compared to last year’s typical may be as well simplistic. I do note, however, that Sabrina is in the middle of a prolonged storyline pushing towards problem #100, as well as Archie comics generally do finest with stand-alone stories, not continuing. I likewise see that a few of these most current problems include an ad promoting an upcoming world excursion storyline in Archie & buddies #117-120.
If any individual understands a lot more stats than I do, I welcome a lot more conclusions. as well as if any individual has gain access to to the Veronica number, please let me understand so I can update the lists.
