Exceptional X-Men #1 Tops The Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller Chart

Exceptional X-Men #1 got top billing this week, but only slightly pipped Ultimates #4, in the weekly Bleeding Cool Bestseller List


Exceptional X-Men #1 got top billing this week, but only slightly pipped Ultimates #4. Both were significantly ahead of traditional top-seller Batman, and Absolute Power was just behind that. Those are the only two DC titles in the top ten, with Scarlett from Image/Skybound/Hasbro and Jeff Lemire's Minor Arcana from Boom breaking through.

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.
