Is it the first Wednesday of the month? Then I don't even need to see the top two. It's been Walking Dead at #1 and Batman at #2 without fail for months on end. Seriously — the last time Batman wasn't #2 on a first Wednesday was November, when Batman: The Devastator took the spot instead (Walking Dead was still on top).

The Marvel $1 sale chaos may be ending soon, as suggested by yesterday's article. As such, this may be your last chance to grab $1 collections. Or it could go on forever. I'm not a fortune teller.

Thanks to a paternity test, Deathstroke rose from #26 last month to #13 in the new titles section. I can't remember the last time I saw a double-digit rise for a title in a single month, if at all.

Cyborg was last seen in January, where it ranked #36. And now in its big return, it ranks… #46! That's Falcon/Luke Cage numbers. But I doubt DC would cancel a returning book so quickly, especially when they brought back Cyborg's creator to write it. So my prediction for the next Big 2 cancellation is Iron Fist, which ranks near the bottom for Marvel on Comichron and Comixology. The good news for Danny is that Luke Cage is free for a team-up.
