Demon Knights #2 Sales Figures

This month I discovered ICv2, which takes Diamond's numbers and actually gives an estimate of how many copies of each issue were sold. For example, Demon Knights #1 sold approximately 37,442 copies.

Demon Knights #2 had a rank of 62, a dollar rank of 60, an index of 22.04, and an estimated quantity of 38,007. This is actually an increase over the first issue's numbers in last month! When does that ever happen? My guess is that the overwhelming positive reviews of the first issue caused lots of readers to come in and check out the second issue.

So now that we have two months of data, let's start graphing the trends. What I'll do each month is include these four pieces of data (rank, dollar rank, index, and ICv2's estimated quantity), and create a little line graph using gnuplot to show how they change from month to month. Here's what we have after two issues:

  1. If we look further down the list of the top 300 comics in October, Demon Knights #1 pops up again in 194th with another 10,727 sells ^^
