Batman #22 And Flash #22 Did Beat Both Secret Empire #1 And Venom #150 To The Top Spot In May 2017 Diamond Comics Charts
Courtesy of Diamond Comic Distributors, not only do we have the Top 100 Comics chart for May 2017 that we ran yesterday, but the Dollar rank and the Index number as well. So we can combine variant covers and price points and tell you the actual Top Ten chart for June. And clear up whether or not Batman #22 topped the charts – or if Secret Empire #1 did.
Because Diamond says "The United States is dominated by Hydra, with Captain America at its head, in Nick Spencer, Steve McNiven, and Jay Leisten's Secret Empire #1 from Marvel Comics, May's best-selling comic book."
And that's just not true, not even for the direct market in North America which is what Diamond's chart measures. Here's the actual direct market top-selling top ten for May 2017.

Secret Empire #2 did at least beat Batman #23. Just not Secret Empire #3.
But for dollars actually brought in – which takes into account higher price points, and any discounts the publisher may have given to retailers, the chart looks like this. With Venom actually beating Secret Empire, both beating Batman and Flash, and both Secret Empire #2 and #3 beating Batman #23 – as well as Guardians Of The Galaxy Mission Breakout #1 and All-New Guardians Of The Galaxy #1 too. And Deadpool, All-Star Batman and Star Wars Screaming Citadel sneaking in and pushing Batman #23, and Walking Dead out…
