DC Comic Book Sales Crush Marvel in December 2010!

Well, maybe not "crush," but I am not over the fact that Nova and Star-Lord have gone the way of the Cancerverse - having disappeared. So, I think you can forgive me.

Anyway, Newsarama posted the early sales data for December 2010 which does show DC to come out on top.

Head to head, DC took 8 out of the top 10 books! See, I told you - crushed! DC takes the top 7 books, with Marvel's only two being their Avenger books from Bendis at the eighth and ninth spot.

Is this what Marvel fears (couldn't resist)?

With DC's recent price cuts, company-wide changes, a rather diverse line of comics and a blockbuster movie in the works - could this be a super year for the home of Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and The Flash?

Dollar for dollar, DC squeezed by at 33.07% Dollar Share to Marvel’s 32.28%.

Newsarama also states comic book sales were up for December compared to November, but compared to the previous year - were down 7.45%.

Here are the top ten:

BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT #1

GREEN LANTERN #60

BRIGHTEST DAY #15

BRIGHTEST DAY #16

GREEN LANTERN #61

BATMAN INCORPORATED #2

BATMAN AND ROBIN #18
