This week’s newsstand sales saw a total of 126 copies being sold. However, there were no 4 digit sales like last week, which was more of a outliner week. In fact, if I discount the 9.8 sales this week, which can be high regardless of newsstand or not, the highest price obtained this week is only $220.

• 38% of newsstand comics sold are sold at $10 and below prices. Lots of Spiderman, Batman, Wolverine sold here. Even Moon Knight Vol 5 is seeming some sales.

• 32% of newsstand sales are sold between $11 and $30. In this range, we are seeing DC 52 series etc getting higher price sales.

• 17% of newsstand sales are sold between $30 and $100. 2 series stand out this week. One is Ultimate Comics Spider-Man while the other is Kate Bishop related titles such as Young Avengers and Hawkeye. As her own TV show starts to begin production, I expect anything Kate Bishop related to get hotter and hotter.

• 12% of newsstand sales are sold above $100. Although the proportion of sales in this category is similar to last week, the total amount has fallen due to the absence of any 4 digit figure sales.

Below are the top 10 newsstand sales for the week.

Making its first entry into the charts is Deadpool #1 from its first ongoing series from 1997.

Copies sold: 1
Average Sales: $60

The last entry is also another familiar comic. Amazing Spider-Man #546 makes it 6th entry into the charts, making it probably the issue with the highest number of appearances on the charts. That is not to say it is the most popular as it can also be interpreted as the most common.

Star Wars Tales #18

Star Wars Tales #18 is not an expensive book but it has been getting regular sales. This book features an awesome Boba Fett photo cover, which should see more interest once the Mandalorian season 2 starts to air on Disney+.

One to watch out for.
