Publishers Weekly made a quick mention today of how well Marvel is doing financially:

Revenue in Marvel’s publishing segment rose 15% in the first quarter, to $27.5 million, and operating income jumped 29%, to $11.5 million. Unit sales were up to both the bookstore and direct markets. The final two issues in the highly popular Civil War series and the first issues in the Dark Tower series drove the sales increase.

To put this in half-ass perspective: +15% during traditionally sluggish retail season = impressive.
