Who had this to say…
- Rodman's Comics: Cold weather meant colder than usual sales. Batman of course took the top spot. Though X-Men #6 and Inferno #4 did well. Walking Dead still makes it into the top ten even though it is a reprint with color added, go figure.
- Ssalefish Comics: The top 3 slots being Batman, Amazing Spider-Man, and Detective Comics is 100 percent the normal numbers, but increased sales on Thor can likely be contributed to the introduction of Mjolnir, God of Hammers, and the increase in Superman Son of Kal-El probably goes hand in hand with the second printings making the sold-out early issues available to people who saw the news a few issues back. It has been a slow burn on that title but interest finally seems to be sharply rising. Shang Chi is selling a bit better this week, hopefully because of my emphatic pleas for people to check it out, it does have some of the best stories and writing.
The Bleeding Cool Bestseller List returns next weekend on Boxing Day. If your store would like to be involved, get in touch.
