Marvel has informed CBR exclusively that April’s “Amazing Spider-Man” #1 has passed 500,000 copies in initial retailer orders. An exact number was not made available, and may change following next week’s order cutoff.

That number would place it, based on Diamond estimates, as the highest initially ordered individual issue in the last decade. January 2009’s “Amazing Spider-Man” #583, which featured a guest appearance from freshly elected President Barack Obama, totaled for more than 500,000 copies, but that number includes combined initial orders and reorders the subsequent month. By comparison, February 2014’s reported top-selling comic of the month – DC Comics’ “Batman” #28 – had estimated sales of 114,089 copies.
