'Watchmen' Atop Amazon Fiction Sales
Apparently everyone's watching the watchmen
From a Wired article about the excessive success of this year's Comic-Con is a little tidbit about the success of comics: Watchmen is now sitting at the top of Amazon's fiction and literature sales list.
DC has been printing up copies like mad to meet the demand, which is of course churned up by the upcoming Zack Snyder film adaptation.
From the article:
Last week's release of the movie's trailer sent sales of a paperback collection of Alan Moore's original Watchmen comics through the roof. The graphic novel now sits at the top of Amazon.com's literature and fiction sales list.
"That's never happened before," said DC's Levitz. "We literally can't print enough…. I don't think we've been able to kill any more trees fast enough."
