Bleeding Cool Bestseller List Sees Battle Beast Crush Absolute Batman

The Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List saw Battle Beast #1 sell two-and-a-half times what Absolute Batman #8 did this week.

In an unprecedented chart move, Invincible Universe Battle Beast #1 by Robert Kirkman, Annalisa Leoni and Ryan Ottley has smashed the sales of the usual chart topper, Absolute Batman #8 by Scott Snyder and Marcos Martin, by two-and-a-half times. But Absolute Batman still has double the sales of its nearest competitors, One World Under Doom and Godzilla Vs X-Men. A strong launch from Exquisite Corpses #1 sees Image Comics take three in the top ten with Transformers, DC have two with the Supergirl launch, and Marvel has five with a Gwenpool launch too.

Top Ten Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List

This is the Top Ten Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by over a hundred direct market comic stores from their sales from Wednesday to Friday, the "Wednesday Warriors".  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 in 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.
