The Walking Dead #100 to be highest selling comic of the year

The phenomenon that is Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead continues. As the Image Comics series is fast approaching issue 100, sales on the series are continuing to rise. Industry reports are that July's The Walking Dead #100 will exceed 300,000 in sales. Yes that is with a series of variant covers but still is an astounding number of sales. Marvel's Avengers vs. X-Men #1, the current best selling comic of the year, has had sales in the area of 240k and that is with multiple printings to inflate that number.

The last time an Image comic was number 1 in monthly sales was Spawn #100 in 2000. The last non Marvel or DC comic to have the lead in monthly sales was Transformers by Dreamwave in 2002.
