My Comic Collection Stats #5
By djotaku 0 Comments
Main Protagonist
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. X-Men | 1. X-Men |
2.Batman | 2. Batman |
3. Spider-Man | 3. Spider-Man |
4. Superman | 4. Fantastic Four |
5. Fantastic Four | 5. Superman |
Small flip at the end. Mostly because Hickman's run ended
Antagonists
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Avengers | 1. Court of Owls |
2. Court of Owls | 2. Avengers |
3. Joker | 3. Hellfire Club |
4. Lex Luthor | 4. Onslaught |
5. Hellfire Club | 5. Joker |
As I predicted before, Joker got strongly bumped up during Death of the Family. Luthor was a surprise, but I think he came from Superman Unchained
Keywords (somewhat of a proxy for events)
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Avengers vs X-Men | 1. Avengers vs X-Men |
2. Spider-Island | 2. Spider-Island |
3. Regenesis | 3. Regenesis |
4. Flashpoint | 4. Flashpoint |
5. Night of the Owls | 4. Night of the Owls |
No surprises that this hasn't changed. I'm mostly reading indie comics now and those tend to have MUCH less events.
Publisher
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Marvel | 1. Marvel |
2. DC | 2. DC |
3. Image | 3. Archie |
4. Archie | 4. Image |
5. Vertigo | 5. Dark Horse |
Image finally beats Archie and Vertigo kicks Dark Horse to the curb. Depending on how long it is between now and the next update, I see Dynamite perhaps jumping up in here and getting rid of Vertigo.
Series
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Amazing Spider-Man | 1. The Amazing Spider-Man |
2. Batman | 2. X-Men |
3. X-Factor | 3. X-Factor & X-Men Legacy (tie) |
4. Uncanny X-Force & X-Men (tie) | 4. Astonishing X-Men |
Lots of shakeups here reflecting the trends in my buying. I went from X-Men heavy (before AvX burned me out) to dropping lots of Marvel. Saga will be here for sure next time I do this and may even soon take the #2 spot. (A few years before it can take the #1 spot)
Writer
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Jonathan Hickman | 1. Jonathan Hickman |
2. Scott Snyder | 2. Kieron Gillen |
3. Dan Slott | 3. Dan Slott |
4. Kieron Gillen | 4. Peter David & Scott Lobdell |
5. Rick Remender |
Jonathan Hickman continues to be untouchable (with 25 more than Snyder). Unless Slott starts writing for Image or Dynamite he'll probably start falling in the stats. Rick Remender will probably start increasing rapidly with his two Image series (Low and Black Science). Gillen may not fall off thanks to Wicked+Divine. Both Wytches and American Vampire may keep Snyder on there. And BKV is on his way up as well.
Penciller
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Greg Capullo | 1. Andy Kubert |
2. Fiona Staples | 2. Giuseppe Cumancoli |
3. Nick Dragotta | 3. Greg Land & Humberto Ramos & John Romita Jr |
4. Humberto Ramos | |
5. Giuseppe Cumancoli & Andy Kubert |
Finally, a stat where Saga is already represented! Many of the Marvel-only artists are slowly falling off.
Inker
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Jay Leisten | 1. Jay Leisten |
2. Scott Hanna & Fiona Staples | 2. Scott Hanna |
3. Cam Smith | |
4. Victor Olazaba | 4. Tim Townsend |
5. Nick Dragotta | 5. Victor Olazaba |
Fiona jumps up and into the list. Other than that I'm not as into inkers as pencillers, but I think many of those still on the list are from Marvel.
Colorist
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Paul Mounts | 1. John Khalisz |
2. John Khalisz & Rachelle Rosenburg | 2. Rachel Rosenburg |
4. FCO & Justin Ponsor | 3. Justin Ponsor |
4. Chris Sotomayor | |
5. Paul Mounts |
I think FCO did a lot of the coloring on Batman and that bumped him up.
Letterer
Current | August 2012 |
---|---|
1. Joe Caramagna | 1. Joe Caramagna |
2. Cory Petit | 2. Cory Petit |
3. Chris Eliopolis | 3. Chris Eliopolis |
4. Clayton Cowles | 4. Richard Starkings |
5. Rus Wooton | 5. Clayton Cowles |
Not much to write.
