And now, for your viewing pleasure, crunched numbers:

Our more modest year-over-year decline grew even MORE more modest to just minus-5 percent. Last year at this time we were sitting at minus-17 percent after Amazing Spider-Man righted the ship after a pair of jungle titles almost scuttled it. This time around the waters appear much more calm.
As for ranking the 2014 releases by Diamond pre-ordered / shipped chart totals:
MA Captain America Volume 7
1091

MA Defenders Volume 4
1048

MA Sub-Mariner Volume 5
1017
Jan-14
Things are slotting into place as anticipated. Thought Defenders would do better than Sub-Mariner, and it did. Thought Captain America would do better than Defenders, and it did. The nice, orderly clockwork universe unfolds as it should, as is evidenced by my volume placement projection:
PEAK NO MORE THAN 1200 COPIES
Avengers Volume 14
Amazing Spider-Man Volume 16
* Captain America Volume 7 (Prediction: 1,132 copies; Actual: 1,091; Off by +41)
Daredevil Volume 8
Fantastic Four Volume 16
Marvel Rarities Volume 1
* Defenders Volume 4 (Prediction: 1,094 copies; Actual: 1,048; Off by +46)
* Sub-Mariner Volume 5 (Prediction: 1,071 copies; Actual: 1,017; Off by +54)
Captain Marvel Volume 5
FLOOR NO FEWER THAN 900 COPIES
So next up in the batter's box is home run king
Amazing Spider-Man
, the top annual performer since 2009. Thus far I've been on the high-side for all my prognostications, so I've recalibrated and think I'll be closer to the money. I anticipate that
Amazing Spider-Man Volume 16
will move 1,151 copies next month, which will open the door for
The Avengers
to narrowly claim the 2014 crown.
