Detective Comics #1000 è stato l'albo più venduto del 2019, Watchmen vince tra i volumi

Potremmo riassumerla così: se la Marvel si porta a casa la maggior parte del bottino, la DC Comics può dare lustro ai suoi titoli più prestigiosi. Con circa 600.000 copie vendute, è stato infatti il numero #1000 di Detective Comics l'albo più venduto dello scorso anno, seguito non da un titolo della Casa delle Idee ma bensì a uno targato Image Comics: Spawn #300 (300.000 copie).

La progenie infernale di Todd McFarlane ha avuto la meglio sui rivoluzionari mutanti di Jonathan Hickman, che si devono accontentare del bronzo di X-Men #1 (disegnato da Leinil Francis Yu), oltre che dell'ottava e della nona posizione con gli albi d'esordio delle miniserie House of X e Powers of X.

Al di là delle prime due posizioni della quarta, occupata dal numero #1 del sorprendente horror DCeased (di Tom Taylor e Trevor Hairsine), quella dei comic-book più venduti del 2019 è una Top 10 dominata dall'editore di New York, che non per niente ha venduto il 44,72% delle copie fisiche in tutto il settore, portandosi a casa il 40,20% degli incassi; tutto ciò migliorando le sue prestazioni rispetto al 2018, quando le percentuali erano state rispettivamente il 40.40% e il 38.24%.

Meno bene la casa editrice di Burbank, con un dollar share del 29.29% e un unit share 30.74%, quando lo scorso anno indicavano 30.04% e 33.82%. Idem la Image, che senza nuove storie di Saga (di Brian K. Vaughan e Fiona Staples) e la chiusura di The Walking Dead (di Robert Kirkman e Charlie Adlard) porta a casa l'8.04% e il 7.69%, quando nel 2018 aveva toccato quota 9.93% e 9.90%.

C'è poi la IDW Publishing, che con Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #100 si aggiudica la sessantaseiesima posizione; per il resto non c'è un solo altro albo nei primi cento posti che non sia targato Marvel, DC Comics o Image.

In generale, le vendite degli spillati sono aumentate quasi del 4% rispetto al 2018, mentre quelle dei volumi (tra brossurati, cartonati e graphic novel originali) sono diminuite del 2%, con un aumento complessivo del 2,23%.

Di seguito trovate la Top 100 dei comic-book che vi abbiamo descritto in apertura, mentre poco sotto riprendiamo il discorso parlando proprio di come sono andate le cose in libreria, dove a primeggiare è stato un certo fumetto pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1986.

Stranamente non ci sono volumi Marvel tra i primi dieci più venduti dello scorso anno. La Casa delle Idee inizia infatti ad apparire solo dalla dodicesima posizione, con il classico Infinity Gauntlet, di Jim Starlin, George Pérez e Ron Lim, per questioni cinematografiche, dato che il 2019 è stato l'anno di Avengers: Endgame.

Si dividono la Top 10 la DC Comics e la Image: la prima beneficia della miniserie HBO che ha dato un seguito a Watchmen (di Alan Moore e Dave Gibbons), del grande successo di Mister Miracle (di Tom King e Mitch Gerads) e occupa altri cinque slot con storie vecchie e nuove di Batman (tra cui un altro classico di Alan Moore, The Killing Joke, disegnato da Brian Bolland); la seconda sfoggia i suoi titoli più amati e premiati, The Walking Dead, Saga e Monstress (di Marjorie Liu e Sana Takeda), oltre alla new entry Die, neonata serie scritta da Kieron Gillen e disegnata Stephanie Hans.

Sul podio anche la Dark Horse, grazie al successo della serie televisiva Netflix che adatta Umbrella Academy, di Gerard Way e Gabriel Bà.
