Article Summary

Daredevil #1 triples Batman #8 in sales on Bleeding Cool's Weekly Bestseller List for comic stores.
Marvel and DC each secure four spots in the top ten, with DC claiming fifth at eleventh place.
Superman/Spider-Man #1, Deadpool April Pool's Day, and Bizarro Year None also chart high in weekly sales.
Rankings reflect real sales data from 120+ ComicHub shops, focusing on Wednesday Warriors sales.

The new Daredevil #1 launch, buoyed by the TV show, blind bag, Stephanie Phillips on TikTok, and Lee Garbett's correctly spelt name, did the extraordinary; it sold three times DC Comics' ongoing Batman series, which takes the top slot every week it's published, as long as Absolute Batman isn't. Superman/Spider-Man #1 was still selling strongly from last week. Marvel gets four of the top ten, so does DC, but DC gets a fifth in eleventh place thanks to the vagaries of this week's charts… and also adding Marvel's comedy one-shot Deadpool April Pool's Day and launches for Captain Marvel and Bizarro, thanks to Kevin Smith.

This is the Top Eleven Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by over a hundred named direct market comic stores from their sales from Wednesday to Friday, the "Wednesday Warriors". The chart is compiled from actual sales data from 120 to 150 comic book stores provided by ComicHub, out of around 1800-2000 direct market comic book shops, which provide 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 list a bunch 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 in-store sales, rather than publisher orders. Participating Bestseller List comic book stores include:
