Diamond Comics ha diffuso i dati delle vendite dei fumetti di aprile 2019. Come sempre, tali dati sono indicativi e riguardano i canali di vendita serviti da Diamond, che comunque copre una fetta del mercato americano così consistente da rappresentare un indice abbastanza preciso delle vendite e del consumo fumettistico d'oltreoceano.
L'esordio dell'evento War of the Realms della Marvel conquista il primo posto in classifica, con la Casa delle Idee che piazza ben 6 fumetti in top ten. I restanti 4 sono della DC che con il terzo posto di The Batman Who Laughs #4 conquista la sua posizione più alta.
Più equilibrata la situazione nella top ten dei graphic novel dopo la Image piazza al primo posto The Magic Order e conquista 3 posizioni su 10, così come la Marvel. DC e Dark Horse, invece, si spartiscono equamente gli altri 4 posti.
Il dato soprendente sorprendente è che la Marvel ha superato il 50% di fumetti venduti, con un ricavo del 45,50% del totale. La DC Comics si è classificata seconda con una quota del 24,73% e un ricavo del 25,89%, seguita da Image e IDW. Da considerare, comunque, che la Marvel ha pubblicato il doppio dei titoli rispetto alla DC.
Di seguito trovate tutte le classifiche nel dettaglio.
