Comics Industry Postmortems and Predictions

Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston posted an interesting look back on comic book sales trends from 2010, as well as a few predictions about the comics industry in the new year.  "Interesting" might be a bit of a subjective term on this one, so I'll qualify it by saying that it's probably more interesting to those of us who read at least a half-dozen different comic book titles every month, from a variety of publishers.  For instance:

As the end of the year approached, the impossible happened and for December DC, buoyed by orders for David Finch’s The Dark Knight topped marketshare over Marvel in terms of dollars for the first time since Superman karked it, though Marvel still kept the title for individual comics sold.


See?  Interesting*!
