IDW TMNT Sales Charts
I don't think this adjusts for any reprints, but here you have it:
Rank 48 for 8/11: TMNT #1 -- 34,803 copies Rank 113 for 9/11: TMNT #2 -- 19,333 copies Rank 109 for 10/11: TMNT #3 -- 22,855 copies Rank 97 for 11/11: TMNT #4 -- 22,898 copies Rank 102 for 12/11: TMNT #5 -- 19,689 copies Rank 109 for 12/11: Raphael #1 -- 18,686 copies Rank 130 for 12/11: Michelangelo #1 -- 15,930 copies Rank 100 for 1/12: TMNT #6 -- 18,773 copies Rank 107 for 2/12: TMNT #7 -- 18,769 copies Rank 129 for 2/12: Donatello #1 -- 15,617 copies Rank 98 for 3/12: TMNT #8: 18,775 copies Rank 137 for 3/12: Infestation 2 TMNT #1: 12,854 copies Rank 151 for 3/12: Infestation 2 TMNT #2: 11,924 copies Rank 116 for 4/12: Leonardo #1 -- 16,253 copies Rank 102 for 4/12: TMNT #9 -- 19,116 copies Rank 129 for 5/12: TMNT #10 -- 19,254 copies Rank 119 for 6/12: TMNT #11 -- 19,416 copies Rank 139 for 6/12: Splinter #1 -- 15,769 copies Rank 114 for 7/12: TMNT #12 -- 18,789 copies Rank 144 for 7/12: Casey Jones #1 -- 14,945 copies Rank 136 for 8/12: TMNT #13 -- 18,342 copies Rank 164 for 8/12: April O'Neil #1 -- 14,325 copies Rank 129 for 9/12: TMNT #14 -- 17,682 copies Rank 161 for 9/12: Fugitoid #1 -- 13,356 copies Rank 140 for 10/12: TMNT #15 -- 17,591 copies Rank 150 for 10/12: TMNT Annual 2012 -- 16,274 copies Rank 132 for 11/12: TMNT #16 -- 17,140 copies Rank 119 for 12/12: TMNT #17 -- 16,703 copies Rank 108 for 1/13: Secrets of the Foot Clan #1 -- 18,315 copies Rank 147 for 1/13: Secrets of the Foot Clan #2 -- 13,180 copies Rank 129 for 2/13: TMNT #18 -- 16,172 copies Rank 131 for 2/13: TMNT #19 -- 16,125 copies Rank 157 for 2/13: Secrets of the Foot Clan #3 -- 12,868 copies Rank 156 for 3/13: Secrets of the Foot Clan #4 -- 13,090 copies Rank 133 for 3/13: TMNT #20 -- 16,084 copies Rank 144 for 4/13: Krang #1 -- 13,689 copies Rank 105 for 4/13: TMNT #21 -- 20,659 copies Rank 188 for 5/13: Baxter #1 -- 11,360 copies Rank 78 for 5/13: TMNT #22 -- 27,759 copies Rank 180 for 6/13: Alopex -- 10,933 copies Rank 122 for 6/13: TMNT #23 -- 17,772 copies Rank 146 for 7/13: TMNT #24 -- 16,484 copies Rank 200 for 7/13: Villain #4 -- 11,031 copies Rank 117 for 8/13: TMNT #25 -- 17,833 copies Rank 173 for 8/13: Villain #5 -- 10,343 copies Rank 179 for 9/13: TMNT #26 -- 17,322 copies Rank 235 for 9/13: Villain #6 -- 9,977 copies Rank 154 for 10/13: TMNT #27 -- 17,042 copies Rank 202 for 10/13: Villain #7 -- 11,584 copies Rank 124 for 11/13: TMNT #28 -- 17,045 copies Rank 137 for 12/13: TMNT #29 -- 15,532 copies Rank 159 for 12/13: Villain #8 -- 12,829 copies Still way too early to say what things will ultimately level out at but even with what we see here it looks fairly promising. About a 50% drop from #1 to #2 isn't to be unexpected, but what's positive to see is that things actually picked up after this drop in #3 by over 3000 copies. http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales.html

I couldn't be happier here...we finally(at least in 2009 I certainly didn't expect there to be a NEW turtles comics book for real...more like somewhere in the distant foggy future with luck there'll be reprints)...I tell you it feels so good to await a new issue each month again, like in the old days..I only got into getting monthly comic books because of mirage tmnt comics...
and now the book is also SO GOOD and EXCITING...with sales numbers staying anywhere near these marks there must be LOTS of years of the new book ahead!thank you idw amigos!! |

Climbing up the ranks a few notches from last month's ranking as well as being the highest selling non-DC/Marvel issue is very encouraging, it seems. Let's hope the quality and quantity of the book stays strong!

Wasn't the series also IDW's top selling property?
If Turtles outsells all their other comics isn't that a good sign? |

Yikes. G.I. Joe and Star Trek are both outselling Ghostbusters... that's downright criminal.

It is considering they publish a ton of TF series too.

I'm hoping they keep the TMNT titles to one a month with the occasional special and crossover. My wallet doesn't want to part with more money for multiple books for the same title!

When you consider that the TMNT prequel comics back in 2007 around the time of the CGI movie's release are ranked #218 and #219, this is an encouraging sign. The site has data that goes back to 1992, and I'm surprised that for 1992 and 1993 during the City at War days, that the Turtles didn't register at all!

But it is fantastic to see the turtles doing so well. This is the first time I have been able to buy a monthly turtle book, and it's a great feeling. |

I think no matter how far it drops in sales it'll still sell well enough for IDW to continue the series, Transformers sells well enough to have how many spin-offs. And if it sells well they do listen to fans since they do cater to them so seeing Spin-offs of TMNT books based on the Archie/OT/Mirage universe I think is definitely a possibility, as long as it sells and there are fans they'll do it, Transformers is able to do it, who knows if TMNT could.

very good sales for the new tmnt comics books but sales would have been lot higher if it was released worldwide and not onl in few country. Does IDW realise that they lost thousands of sales by not releasing it in all countries? |

I wouldn't be too sure about that, I think the most faithfull TMNT fans are still mostly from US. I could be completely wrong of course. TMNT was a worldwide phenomenon back in the day after all.

Not to come off harsh, but if you paid attention, you would've realized that it was not a decision by IDW but a licensing issue. They actually announced global distribution rights very recently, so you are just complaining about IDW for nothing. You should probably make sure you know what's going on before making presumptions.

I would assume whatever limitations on publications in other countries were a contractual thing with Nick/Viacom... the license to put out what IDW is putting out of TMNT right now in the US is one thing, but as soon as you start talking about worldwide distribution and all that it becomes a different ballpark in legalese.
