Absolute Wonder Woman/Martian Manhunter Lead Top 50 Anticipated Titles

Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Martian Manhunter lead the Top 50 anticipated comic book titles this week



Article Summary

  • Absolute Wonder Woman #18 tops the most anticipated comics for this Wednesday’s new releases
  • DC Comics dominates the top five, with Absolute Martian Manhunter and Detective Comics close behind
  • Ranking is based on League of Comic Book Geeks’ subscriber pulls, reflecting current reader interest
  • Pull list trends may favor long-running series, but new launches like Superman/Spider-Man also generate buzz

DC Comics tops the charts of anticipation for this Wednesday's comics with Absolute Wonder Woman, Absolute Martian Manhunter, as well as Detective Comics and Superman, all above Superman/Spider-Man. As the disclaimer below says, this list, pulled from the comic book website League Of Comic Book Geeks' hundred-thousand-subscriber base, may also be biased towards long-running series that people added to their pull list out of habit, and so launch issues and one-shots may be underrepresented… and the likelihood is that Superman/Spider-Man will outsell everything this week…

The comic book website League Of Comic Book Geeks has a hundred-thousand-subscriber base, with over a hundred retailers using their services to manage pulls/subscriptions for their customers. The thing ComiXology did when they first started. The website also tracks how many readers have "pulled" certain titles, regardless of whether they are connected to a retailer or not. And right now, this is the top twenty pull list for Wednesday. Now, a "pull" does not equal a sale; it's just recognition of interest, and may be for a comic store, digital, or often pirate reading. The listing also does not include the variants' covers, as each cover has its own pull number. It may also be biased towards long-running series that people added to their pull list and never removed. However, it is a valid list that recognises active interest in certain titles in the direct comic book market. The Top Anticipated Titles This Week chart joins the Top Ten Weekly Bestseller List and the Top Ten Hottest Comics lists at Bleeding Cool every week. Does this match up with your excitement?
