“February was a tremendous month for DC Entertainment, and the numbers show that fans are engaging with our stories across all platforms – from digital to retail,” said Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment. “We had a record-breaking 2012 in terms of sales, critical acclaim and visibility, including a near 50 per cent increase in fan reach through our websites. Last year also represented our first full year of support and commitment to We Can Be Heroes, our philanthropic initiative to raise funds and awareness for the famine-stricken Horn of Africa. We are incredibly proud of where the business is and where we are headed in 2013.”
DC Entertainment did well with The New York Times Bestsellers Lists for both hardcovers and paperbacks with notable titles being Wonder Woman Vol. 2, Green Lantern: Revenge of the Black Hand, and Suicide Squad Vol. 2. Making February even sweeter for the home of Batman and Superman were Gem Awards for Comic Book Publisher of the Year, Backlist Publisher of the Year and Toy Manufacture of the Year for 2012 for DC Collectibles.
