Top 100 dicembre 2019: in vetta il finale di Doomsday Clock, House of X vince tra i volumi

Dopo quella del decennio e quella del 2019, chiudiamo la scorpacciata di classifiche con uno sguardo alle vendite dei fumetti usciti oltreoceano lo scorso dicembre, basandoci come di consueto sui dati raccolti da Diamond (il principale distributore del Nord America) e diffusi da Previewsworld. In coda all'articolo trovate i cento albi e i cento volumi (tra brossurati, cartonati e graphic novel originali) più ordinati dalle fumetterie per l'ultimo mese del 2019, durante il quale sono stati venduti 5.988.257 fumetti (189.935 in meno del mese precedente, ma 140.866 in più di dicembre 2018). Nonostante il primato di Doomsday Clock, la Marvel si conferma al timone del mercato con il 45.60% delle pubblicazioni vendute e il conseguente 37,89% degli incassi (meglio di un anno prima, quando erano rispettivamente il 42.68% e il 37.41%); seguono la DC Comics, sostanzialmente stabile con il 31.35% di unit share e il 33.55% di dollar share (32.41% e 30.72% nel 2018 ) e la Image con il 5.93% e il 5.91% (5.91% e dal 7.87% nel 2018).

La casa editrice di Burbank occupa metà della top ten, nove nelle prime venti posizioni, diciotto su cinquanta e trentatré in tutto, ma soprattutto è suo il primo posto con l'attesissimo finale di Doomsday Clock, di Geoff Johns e Gary Frank, la maxiserie che ha unito gli eroi DC con i personaggi di Watchmen. Il dodicesimo e ultimo numero è stato ordinato dalle fumetterie in 117.926 copie ed è stato l'unico fumetto a superare la soglia delle 100.000 insieme al terzo numero di X-Men (105.708), di Jonathan Hickman e Leinil Francis Yu.

Le altre cinque posizioni della top ten sono della Marvel (dieci nei primi venti slot, trentuno su cinquanta e sessanta in tutta la classifica), che riesce a capitalizzare i lanci della miniserie Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality, di Peter David e Greg Land, e dello speciale Incoming!, contenente un primo sguardo alle sue trame per il 2020.

Fanno però meglio due one-shot della DC Comics: quello dedicato al super cattivo dell'anno e quello che ha visto il ritorno di Frank Miller, in compagnia dell'artista Rafael Grampá, sui personaggi del Cavaliere Oscuro (ricorderete le polemiche sulla copertina).

A testimonianza di quanto forte sia stata la concorrenza a dicembre, meno fortuna hanno avuto gli esordi di Dr. Strange: Surgeon Supreme, di Mark Waid e Kev Walker (18°); Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider, di Dennis Hallum, Scott Hepburn, Donny Cates e Geoff Shaw (19°); Conan: Serpent War, di Jim Zub, Scot Eaton e Stephen Segovia (23°); Suicide Squad, di Tom Taylor e Bruno Redondo (31°); Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen, di James Tynion IV e Steve Epting (33°); Spider-Ham, di Zeb Wells e Will Robson (27°); Wonder Woman: Dead Heart, di Daniel Warren Johnson (50°); e Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #1, di Charles Soule e Will Sliney (56°).

Tre posizioni su cento sono della Image Comics, che riesce a piazzare Spawn #303 (45°), Undiscovered Country #2 (52°) e American Jesus: New Messiah #1 (73°); due della Dynamite, con Vampirella #6 (61°) e il rilancio di Dejah Thoris (71°); una dei BOOM! Studios, con l'esordio della miniserie Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (29°); e un'altra della IDW, proprio con il centesimo numero della serie delle Tartarughe Ninja (un ottimo 17° posto).

Dulcis in fundo, se la DC Comics è in vetta nella classifica degli spillati con Doomsday Clock, la Casa delle Idee domina quella dei volumi con il cartonato House of X, che a dispetto del nome raccoglie sia la miniserie omonima che la sorella Powers of X, scritte da Jonathan Hickman per i disegni di Pepe Larraz e R.B Silva.
