Batman And Absolute Superman Lead Top 50 Anticipated Comics This Week

Batman #8 and Absolute Superman #18 lead the Top 50 Anticipated Comics This Week, as 2000AD makes it into the chart, just

DC Comics tops the charts of anticipation for this Wednesday's comics with Batman, Absolute Superman and World's Finest, before the new Daredevil gets a look in. 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. Note that X-Men has been rising up these charts of late though, but DC's success with the likes of Batgirl and Poison Ivy, outdoing Venom is a testament to their recent raised profile. And for the first time, with new US distribution, 2000AD enters the top fifty… at the very bottom.

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?
