The result of October's action was a return for Marvel to the top of the unit and dollar market shares charts, after several months during which DC's Rebirth titles gave it the lead. The returnable phase of releases is coming to an end for most of those books, yet DC remained a strong second with both figures topping 30%. Boom shot up to fourth place in unit sales, though much of that again is a Loot Crate statistical artifact.

Marvel's win is actually greater than appears. Diamond counts what retailers ordered not what they sold. So it's no way to tell how much of the initial orders got returned later.
