This information may not be reproduced in any format without the express permission of Diamond Comic Distributors.
How does Diamond calculate the charts? It all starts at the comic book shop.
Data for Diamond’s sales charts — which include the monthly market shares and all top product charts — are compiled by Diamond Comic Distributors from a universe of over 3,500 accounts, comprised of comic book specialty shops and other merchant stores and buyers. The shops are primarily located in North America, with a percentage of sales also to international stores and buyers located throughout the world. The account base includes not only brick-and-mortar comic book specialty shops, but also Internet stores, chain stores, and other specialty stores.
Unit and dollars sales are calculated based upon orders invoiced and shipped to Diamond accounts during any given month, minus any copies that are distributed free of cost.
The Non-Premier Comic Book and Graphic Novels charts reflect sales outside the "Big Five" publishers — Dark Horse Comics, DC Entertainment, IDW Publishing, Image Comics, and Marvel Comics. The Small Press Comic Book and Graphic Novels charts reflect sales outside the top ten publishers for the year based on retail dollar market share.
