Bleeding Cool Bestseller List Sees Battle Beast Crush Absolute Batman
Posted in: Batman, Comics, Comics Publishers, Current News, DC Comics, Image, Marvel Comics, Spider-Man, Superman, Venom, X-Men | Tagged: battle beast, bestseller
The Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List saw Battle Beast #1 sell two-and-a-half times what Absolute Batman #8 did this week.
Article Summary
Battle Beast #1 dominates the Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, outselling Absolute Batman #8 by 2.5 times.
Absolute Batman #8 still doubles the sales of rivals like One World Under Doom and Godzilla Vs. X-Men.
Image scores three top ten spots, while Marvel and DC secure five and two, featuring big launches and debuts.
Bestseller rankings are compiled from actual in-store sales across over 100 leading comic shops worldwide.
In an unprecedented chart move, Invincible Universe Battle Beast #1 by Robert Kirkman, Annalisa Leoni and Ryan Ottley has smashed the sales of the usual chart topper, Absolute Batman #8 by Scott Snyder and Marcos Martin, by two-and-a-half times. The power of the blind bag compels you. But Absolute Batman still has double the sales of its nearest competitors, One World Under Doom and Godzilla Vs X-Men. A strong launch from Exquisite Corpses #1 sees Image Comics take three in the top ten with Transformers, DC have two with the Supergirl launch, and Marvel has five with a Gwenpool launch too.

This is the Top Ten Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by over a hundred direct market comic stores from their sales from Wednesday to Friday, the “Wednesday Warriors”. The chart is compiled from actual sales data from up to 150 comic book stores provided by ComicHub, which provides POS services for comic book retailers worldwide, mostly in North America and the UK. These are typically from what might be called mid-range stores, and we run a bunch of them below. Bleeding Cool Bestseller List gives the best-selling reported comic of the week the 100.0 number, and you can see how each title performed as a percentage of that sale. These numbers are based on sales in-store, not orders.
