"Direct market comic sales increased by 15% in May compared to the same period in 2010. Sales were down by the same 15% in April, a shift that ICv2 attributes to the change in the position of the five-week month between 2009 and 2010. Graphic novels were down 13% compared to last year, a drop which for the first time in months cannot be attributed to the bubble caused by the Watchmen movie adaptation. Overall, combined sales of comics and graphic novels increased by 8% compared to last May. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
