Spider-Man/Superman Tops The Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List

Spider-Man/Superman outsells Absolute Wonder Woman by three times to top the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List



Article Summary

  • All-New All-Spectacular Spider-Man/Superman #1 tops the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List by a huge margin.
  • Spider-Man/Superman #1 sold about three times Absolute Wonder Woman #19 and four times Amazing Spider-Man #27.
  • Corpse Knight #1 launches strong for Image Comics, joining Exquisite Corpses #12 in this week’s top ten.
  • The Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List is based on Wednesday-to-Saturday sales from 120 to 150 comic shops.

All-New All-Spectacular Spider-Man/Superman #1 sold three times what Absolute Wonder Woman #19 did this week, and four times what the regular Amazing Spider-Man #27 did. And it costs almost twice as much as they do. Corpse Knight #1 was a very strong launch from Image Comics, the second of two Image books to enter the top ten with the word "corpse" in the title… Find previous Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller Lists here.

This is the Top Ten Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by over a hundred named direct market comic stores from their sales from Wednesday to Saturday, 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:
