With June sales, orders for comic books, graphic novels, and collected editions for the first half of the year came in just a few thousand dollars shy of the quarter-billion dollar mark. The second-quarter growth rates were all positive, although the year-to-year changes were smaller than those seen in the second quarter of 2012, which was the last quarter comparing against the period before the DC relaunch.



Superman Unchained #1 led the market with first-month orders of more than 251,000 copies; the Combo Pack adds another 5,300. That made it the second-best selling comic book of the year to that point, behind Justice League of America #1. DC took the top three slots on the chart, followed by Marvel, which had Age of Ultron #10 as its top seller.
