The folks at ICv2 promised that they’d be doing reporting on monthly comics being sold starting this past summer and after getting the first few months out we’re now able to take a look at February 2021. The top twenty looks to be a pretty solid mix of titles from the big two, which is unfortunate as I’d love to see more titles from beyond them charting in terms of the numbers sold.
The ranking by units sold has a nice change this month at the top with BOOM! getting it thanks to the debut of BRZRKR arriving under the power of Keanu Reeves. Image Comics also nabs the #5 spot with Nocterra. Beyond that, it’s all Marvel and DC with lots of Batman titles charting while the Marvel side has a pretty good mix with a few series starts as well.

In terms of price, there are a lot of similarities to be had and you can see how some move up a bit, particularly when you have pricey installments. The month makes out a bit more consistent because there aren’t much in the way of high-priced books like Future State changing things up though there are a couple of high-priced ones in the mix.
