jreezy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Interesting from Entertainment Weekly. Americans have bought 5,618,000 graphic novels in 2014, Nielsen Bookscan reports—a 10-percent increase over last year. The rising success of the genre can be attributed to reliable fan favorites (The Walking Dead, Batman and Diary of a Wimpy Kid), the comeback of manga (Attack on Titan, Naruto, and One Piece), and breakout bestsellers like the space opera/fantasy series Saga (Image Comics), which topped lists in both its digital and paper formats. Similarly, Diamond Comics Distributors reports a near 4-percent rise in year-to-date sales and a near 6-percent rise in year-to-date units moved. The graphic novel business, including digital and periodical comics, made more than $870 million in 2013.

jreezy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Totally agreed. Graphic Novels can also appeal to collectors with special editions and limited print runs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
