@revsully In my original definition, legacy titles and numbering are more tied to the publishing history of specific magazines; reading order is not germaine. Nobody would consider the non-Captain America issues part of Cap's reading order, but they're part of same legal construct.
@revsully I probably wouldn't, as there's no decades-long title whose publication history we'd be trying to attach to; a reading order would make more sense.
Holiday reading: In 2006, I wrote a Comics Buyer's Guide column coining the term "legacy numbering" and indexing how comics numbering had changed at five-year intervals since 1935. My piece has now been updated through the end of 2025. Find the history at comichron.com/faq/legacynumb…
My thanks to Bradley Glynn, who chased down the current numbering statuses of titles not easily found in today's fractured distribution scene. Also check out my essay on where comics numbering came from to begin with: comichron.com/faq/comicsnumb…
Publishers continued to use double-numbering in order to get the sales benefits from restarts while also retaining a (sometimes tenuous) claim to continuous publication to help market anniversary issues. We list these "can't commit" legacy titles separately in their own section.
Correction: The actual final reports are on the September page, as they were the first week of September's reports: bit.ly/Sep25Comics
While this concludes exactly 29 years of my real-time archiving of Diamond's monthly and weekly reports, I have many of its months from the early 1990s and before yet to publish; a lot more pre-2000 data from other sources is also coming from Comichron in the future. Stay tuned!
Eight years of reorder reports from Diamond on @comichron came to an end last week with @keenspot's MARK SPEARS MONSTERS #6 leading reorders and BOOK OF NOSFERATU #1 from @AblazePub as the top advance-reordered comic. Reorders: bit.ly/Aug25Comics
BOOK OF NOSFERATU #1 from @AblazePub was the top advance-reordered series launch last week from Diamond. The publisher took multiple spots on the chart last week. Reorders: bit.ly/Aug25Comics Advance reorders: bit.ly/Sep25Comics
The TRAVELING TO MARS hardcover from @AblazePub was Diamond's top advance-reordered title last week. Reorders: bit.ly/Aug25Comics Advance reorders: bit.ly/Sep25Comics
MARK SPEARS' MONSTERS issues lead most of Diamond's reorder charts these days. Top reordered hardcover last week was JON SABLE FREELANCE from @comicmix, with SPAWN OF VENUS the top advance list hardcover. Reorders: bit.ly/Aug25Comics Advance reorders: bit.ly/Sep25Comics
KNIGHTS OF THE DINNER TABLE #319 from Kenzer was last week's top reordered publication at Diamond; @BQComics' TRIDENT OF AURELIA: CORAZON #4 was the top advance-reordered comic book. Reorders: bit.ly/Jul25Comics Advance reorders: bit.ly/Aug25Comics
Don and Maggie Thompson's editorial in the wake of Jim Shooter's 1987 departure from @Marvel provides a good analysis both of the accomplishments and the controversies from his tenure. With @ThompsonMaggie's blessing, I've posted it here: facebook.com/share/p/1E7J55…
Meanwhile, Diamond's forward-looking advance-reorder chart, which was dominated for much of the year by Boom — and then Dynamite, and lately Keenspot — was led last week by ZOO JITSU FIGHTERS #3 from @iconheroes. Advance reorders: bit.ly/Jul25Comics
Diamond continues to release reorder charts, and they've been a journey through the changes at the firm. Its top reordered comic book from last week was ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #18 (which is among Diamond’s last Marvel releases). Reorders: bit.ly/Jun25Comics
Diamond's charts these days are usually led by @markspearsart's MONSTERS for @keenspot or @DynamiteComics' Vampirella; last week's advance reorders combined both, via a cover crossover. Reorders: bit.ly/Jun25Comics Advance reorders: bit.ly/Jul25Comics
There's news today on Dynamite's relationship with Diamond: comicsbeat.com/dynamite-wants…
While Diamond's reorder chart last week had other publishers' books (ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #17 led), its advance-reorder chart was almost entirely @DynamiteComics titles given its cutoff by Random House. Reorders: bit.ly/May25Comics Advance reorders: bit.ly/Jun25Comics
