It’s Marketing Monday here at Graphic Policy and today marks the third week of tracking various comic apps and how they rank up against each other and the general app population.

For this report, I felt it best to focus on Wednesday of the previous week, since that should be the busiest day of the week for apps since it’s new comic day. This report also focuses on the ranks in the United States. I’ll eventually look at the entire week down the road and expand the location. I also wanted to look at the gross income for the apps, so apps included are those where you’d purchase books. So apps like comiXology’s offerings would be included, but Marvel’s AR app isn’t. Marvel Unlimited is included on the list. I’ve also separated the apps based on their platform as best I could.

Most apps are on the iOS platform, which isn’t surprising at all. The Comics app by comiXology is the juggernaut in every category. They are also the folks behind many of the other top apps as well. This is the first full week of since the release of Marvel Global Comics. As expected, since it focuses on foreign language comics, it didn’t rank in the United States. Also added was Cloud 9 Comix, which did not rank in the US.

Also of note is the surge of the app for The Walking Dead which not only has the television show back, but a new comic last week as well.

And that wraps up this week’s breakdown. I’m still thinking through a good name for this feature, so if you have suggestions, let me know!
