Interesting article up on CBR based on panels sponsored by ICv2 (retailer newsletter for owners of comic, gaming and pop culture stores) as a lead in to NYCC last month...

Not sure how accurate the numbers are, but it makes an effort to loo at the entirety of the comic market not just sale sin specialty shops via Diamond, including con sales, online sales, sale through other distribution channels than Diamond (i.e. bookstore sales, Amazon, etc.)and more. A lot of it is coming form customer services and how people self-identify though, so there is a possibility for some wide variance in data, but it does provide an interesting glimpse at what appears to be an evolving market for comic books/sequential storytelling in various formats.
