DC Comics captured 45.53% of direct-market comic-store marketshare for the week of Monday–Sunday September 15–21, 2026, according to Bleeding Cool reporting Point-of-Sale data from Prana Direct Market Solutions.
Publisher share
Bleeding Cool lists the weekly comic-store share as DC 45.53%, Marvel 31.49%, Image 12.76%, IDW 3.23%, Dynamite 2.39%, BOOM! 2.01%, Dark Horse 1.68%, Ignition 0.82%, Titan 0.66%, and Mad Cave 0.42%.
Units vs. revenue
On the bestsellers list, Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadows Hand #1 indexed at 100% for units, while DNX #1 led the money column at a 103.66% dollar index on its $5.99 cover (vs. Absolute Cassandra Cain’s $4.99). Bleeding Cool notes six of the top ten bestsellers were DC titles, with Marvel and Image filling the rest of the chart.
Sample caveat
The Prana DM set draws from 600+ Manage Comics and Comic Shop Assistant stores — a large sample of the estimated 1,800–2,000 direct-market shops, not a full-industry census.
