Diamond has just released charts for books on sales in September and comics sales were led by an old favorite — Charles Soule and Luke Ross’ Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters #4 — in the last month when Marvel comics will appear on the charts as a Diamond premiere publisher.
The best selling graphic novel was Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner’s surprise hit Stray Dogs, which has been selling out since it came out in February. No more second printings, everyone!
The departing Marvel Comics had 8 of the top ten periodicals but only 5 of the top ten GNs. IDW charted at #7 with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin #4, the penultimate chapter of Kevin Eastman’s future Turtles tale, and Image Comics’ Primordial #1, by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino came in at #10.
Among the premier publishers, Masters of the Universe: Revelation #3, a prequel to the Netflix animated series, was Dark Horse Comics’ top book for the month at #27; BOOM! Studios’ Something Is Killing the Children #20 ranked #28; and Dynamite Entertainment’s Army of Darkness: 1979 #1 was their best-selling book at #58..
As for GNs, Spider-Man by Todd McFarlane Omnibus came in at #2 and Kouhei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia #29, was #4.
BRZRKR Volume 1 by Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt, Alessandro Vitti, and Bill Crabtree had a solid performance at #8.
Among the premier publishers, Dark Horse Comics’ top graphic novel, EC Archives: Shock Suspenstories ranked #18; IDW Publishing’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Jennika II ranked #93; and Dynamite Entertainment’s The Boys Omnibus Volume 1 ranked #103..
Comichron’s John Jackson Miller is out and about but he tweeted a few facts about this month’s numbers:
