Marvel Comics Regains Marketshare Lead From DC!

Marvel Comics reclaimed the marketshare lead from DC Comics in December.

The publisher’s dollar share rose from 33.3% to 34.43% during the final month of 2011, while its rival’s declined from 34.69% to 33.74%.

Marvel also led the way in terms of units sold, increasing from 37.94% to 39.05%. DC fell from 39.66% to 37.72%, Bleeding Cool, reports.

DC deposed Marvel as marketshare leader in September following the success of its ‘New 52′ initiative. The publisher maintained its lead throughout October and November.

Marvel’s decision to release major titles during all five weeks of December is thought to have influenced the figures. DC rolled out few new comics during the final week of the month.

Comic sales as a whole saw a year-on-year increase compared to December 2010.
