It's the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List! As is traditional, when a new Batman monthly comic book comes out, it tops the charts… but in a remarkable twist, only just, as the latest Transformers comic from Skybound/Image Comics has risen in sales position significantly to third place, beating out X-Men by almost ten points on the Ratio scale. And all three beating Amazing Spider-Man, which usually tops the charts in its release week if there is no Batman monthly… also beating out expectations is Birds Of Prey, still in the Top Ten in its fourth month. Expect to see this series extended.

This is the Top Ten Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by over a hundred direct market comic stores from their sales from Tuesday to Friday, what used to be known as the "Wednesday Warriors" are those who can't wait till the weekend to get their week's comics. Though thanks to DC, Tuesday Titans, too. 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 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.
