Star Wars #1 Most-Ordered Comic Of The Decade, Walking Dead Vol 1 Most-Ordered Graphic Novel, Top 100 From 2010 to 2019
Courtesy of Diamond Comic Distributors and Previewsworld, these are the top 100 comic books ordered through the direct market in North America, through Diamond. It is notable that Star Wars #1, Harley Quinn #1, Rocket Raccoon#1, Walking Dead #132, Bravest Warriors Tales #1, Orphan Black #1 and Big Trouble In Little China/Escape From New York #1 all included an order from Loot Crate that will have added anywhere from 300,000 to half a million copies to their respective totals. 68 of the top 100 were from Marvel, 24 from DC Comics, 5 from Image Comics, 2 from Boom, 1 from IDW. While for graphic novels, only 10 of the top 100 were from Marvel, 30 from DC Comics, 51 from Image Comics, 4 from Oni Press, 1 from Boom, 2 from Dark Horse and 2 from IDW.
But either way, Star Wars #1 by Jason Aaron and John Cassaday was the best-selling comic through the North American direct market of the decade, and The Walking Dead Vol 1 by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore was the bestselling graphic novel. Here's how it all breaks down.
