BRZRKR #1 Is the Best Selling Comic Since Marvel's Star Wars #1 in 2015
/
BOOM! Studios' BRZRKR has reached a new record, as the first issue has sold over 600,000 copies -- a record eclipsed only by Marvel Comics' relaunch of the Star Wars comic series.
BRZRKR artist Ron Garney posted the news on his official Facebook page, extending his gratitude to the rest of the creative team. Garney wrote, "Brzrkr #1 has surpassed over 600,000 copies -- thank you to everyone for the amazing enthusiasm and support for this project on behalf of myself, Keanu, Matt K, Ross, Eric, Bill, Filip, Stephen, Matt G and all of the stellar people at Boom!"
The highest-selling comic of the last decade was Star Wars #1 by Jason Aaron and John Cassaday, which debuted following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012. Star Wars #1 exceeded one million copies sold on the direct market in 2014, which made it the top-selling single issue of the past 20 years.
