Faith love Valiant Comics!

The almighty ComicChron has spoken, and the sales numbers are in.

Faith is happy.

And yes, I’m not kidding. Valiant is the number 3 publisher, but we’ll get to that. After all, it is like Obi-Wan said, from a certain point of view.

First, lets take a look at the numbers.

Here’s the sales ranking, and the number of copies sold, of each of the November titles.

• Shadowman #1 – 90th – 25,048 copies
• X-O Manowar #7 – 150th – 14,527 copies
• Harbinger #6 – 159th – 13,617 copies
• Archer & Armstrong #4 – 162nd – 13,478 copies
• Bloodshot #5 – 163rd – 13,156 copies

For a little perspective, that is about the same amount of sales as critical hits Invincible, Revival, and Chew. These numbers are also fairly even with the previous numbers, not a lot of drop off, which suggests that these numbers are starting to even out.

Number 3

Now, here’s a little more number crunching, courtesy of Greg Holland over at ValiantFans.com. He calculated the average sales per title for every company, and ranked them.

Guess what? Valiant is number 3.

Impressive. Most impressive.

As Greg pointed out, even without Shadowman, which added a boost due to being a first issue, Valiant still ranks as number 3.

After five titles, Valiant is off to a steady start!
