USA: i fumetti più venduti del 2016
Qual è il fumetto che ha venduto di più nel 2016? E chi tra Marvel e DC Comics ha venduto di più? Cosa ci dice il 2016 nel mercato delle fumetterie statunitensi?
Dopo un paio di mesi di assenza torniamo a parlare del mercato fumettistico americano cercando di fare il punto della situazione e dando uno sguardo allo scorso anno.
Partiamo subito dall’argomento più interessante: quali sono i fumetti che più hanno venduto nel 2016? Qual è la casa editrice che ha tratto il maggior profitto dalle proprie strategie editoriali?
Per fare questo ragionamento partiremo dalle classifiche di vendita Diamond. Come abbiamo già detto più volte i dati del gigante della distribuzione statunitense non possono essere considerati come valori assoluti: non tengono conto del mercato delle librerie di varia, della distribuzione indiretta (come newsstand e Wal-mart), delle vendite digitali e delle vendite su Amazon. Ma si tratta comunque di circa il 55% del mercato globale per cui si tratta ancora di un campione statistico interessante e valido.
Questi sono i 300 fumetti più venduti del 2016 con le relative stime di incasso lordo:

Al primo posto svetta, non troppo inaspettatamente, Big Trouble in Little China/Escape From New York #1 della Boom Studios. Abbiamo già spiegato però come si tratti di un successo che ha meriti commerciali che esulano dalle normali logiche del mercato e che poco hanno a che vedere con l’effettiva richiesta del pubblico per il suddetto prodotto.
A seguire vediamo invece l’eterno testa a testa tra Marvel e DC Comics con quest’ultima in decisa ripresa rispetto agli anni passati e che anzi si prende con prepotenza, grazie all’iniziativa Rebirth, la fetta più grossa di mercato.
Su un totale di 29.446.077 copie vendute le vendite sono ripartite infatti così:
DC Comics: 16.828.698 copie. Ovvero il 57.3%
Marvel Comics: 10.822.130 copie. Ovvero il 36.7%
Image Comics: 1.107.284 copie. Ovvero il 3.7%
Altri: 687.965 copie. Ovvero il 2.3%
Dal punto di vista dell’incasso totale permangono le posizioni sebbene in percentuali diverse (dovute soprattutto al taglio di prezzo degli albi Rebirth).
Su un totale di 111.970.510 $ il mercato si è suddiviso così:
DC Comics: 56.938.429 $. Ovvero il 50.8%
Marvel Comics: 48.901.354 $. Ovvero il 43.7%
Image Comics: 3.385.746 $. Ovvero il 3%
Altri: 2.744.980 $. Ovvero il 2.5%
Il dato inoltre non tiene conto di vari fattori: i reorder (che ad esempio aggiungerebbe qualche decina di migliaia di copie in più al primo Captain America: Steve Rogers e a DC Universe Rebirth) e degli albi DC contrassegnati con l’asterisco (le cui vendite sono ribassate artificiosamente del 10% per via delle possibilità di reso degli albi).
Adesso facciamo un “gioco” interessante: a questa classifica togliamo tutti i numeri uno e due (che hanno sempre delle vendite gonfiate per via dell’interesse iniziale e delle variant cover) e anche i megacrossover (in questo caso solo Civil War II) per vedere come si comporta il mercato degli albi “normali”.
I risultati sono questi:
Copie vendute totali 14.487.193:
DC Comics: 8.840.280 copie. Ovvero il 61%
Marvel Comics: 4.614.596 copie. Ovvero il 31.9%
Image Comics: 1.032.317. Ovvero il 7.1%
Incassi totali 54.075.546 $
DC Comics: 30.969.000 $. Ovvero il 56.3%
Marvel Comics: 20.019.918 $. Ovvero il 37%
Image Comics: $3.086.627 $. Ovvero il 5.7%
Ne conseguono quindi alcune considerazioni:
- Gli albi Rebirth hanno passato il test dei primi numeri riuscendo a mantenere i lettori a bordo (probabilmente anche per via della quindicinalità
- L’unico vero grosso successo commerciale della Marvel nel 2016 è stato il criticatissimo Civil War II. Tolto quello il divario tra le due case editirici si allarga
- La Image è la casa editrice che più riesce a fidelizzare i lettori
