This is the Top Ten Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by a number of comic stores from their sales on Wednesday and Thursday. It measures what are known as the "Wednesday Warriors", those who can't wait to the weekend to get this week's comics. We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion.

And this week, Daredevil beats out Harley Quinn, but both are trumped by Star Wars. As is boringly traditional these days. And the third issue of Paper Girls beats the newly launched Uncanny Inhumans which didn't even chart…

1. Star Wars #13
2. Daredevil #1
3. Harley's Little Black Book #1
4. Doctor Strange #3
5. All New Different Avengers #2
6. Invincible Iron Man #4
7. Extraordinary X Men #3
8. All-New X-Men #1
9. Paper Girls #3
10. Batman & Robin Eternal #9

Thanks to these retailers,

Dr. No's Comics & Games Superstore of Marietta, Georgia
Rodman Comics of Ankeny, Iowa
Jesse James Comics of Glendale, Arizona
G-Mart Comic Books of Champaign, Illinois
Graham Crackers Comics 10 locations in the Mid-West

Who had this to say,

Good sales with a lot of good books out. Marvel dominates with 7 spots on the list. Only two of their #1s made the top ten with Daredevil being our #3 seller of the week. All New X-Men being the other, less surprising entry. People are still coming back for All Adjective Avengers, Iron Man, Dr. Strange and Extraordinary X-Men. Vision, Nova, Howard the Duck- not so much.

DC managed to land two spots. Batman & Robin Eternal has been doing very well for us, even pushing us to increase orders as readers haven't really dropped off. Unusual for a weekly. Action Comics was our #10 seller.

Paper Girls makes our only non-BigTwo book of the week.

Oh, and Marvel had some licensed sci-fi book take the #1 spot.

The news of original sketch variants randomly inserted helped to push Harley's LIttle Black Book to the top of the sales list; otherwise, DC failed to place a single title in the top ten.

Increased interest in pre-Flashpoint DC titles, in particular Superman and Batman.

The mystery of buying a Polybag comic book wins the week two fold. Harley Quinn Polybag comes up BIG with the average purchase being 5 per customer. This week was strong for Indies and looks like they will go into 2016 the same way. We saw Oni Press's Rick and Morty become the top seller in the store taking over Harley Quinn , Deadpool and Walking Dead all combined. Tv show comics are a Huge Genre and won't be going away anytime soon.
