It’s Marketing Monday here at Graphic Policy and today marks the fourth 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 its 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 too. 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. Generally all iOS apps gained in the rankings while most dropped on other platforms.

Of note, comiXology has discontinued some apps since last week. Also, DC has overtaken Marvel for the number two spot when it comes to the iPad.

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!

Also of note is the continued surge of the app for The Walking Dead which seems to have increased with the return of the show. We’ll see if the app dies off at a point after the show ends its season.

This is the second full week since the release of Marvel Global Comics. This is the first week though that it ranked in the iPhone category. Cloud 9 Comix, continues to not rank in the US, but does elsewhere.

Also of note is the continued surge of the app for The Walking Dead which seems to have increased with the return of the show. We’ll see if the app dies off at a point after the show ends its season.
