TMNT: The Last Ronin #5 Tops Diamond Comics Bestseller In April 2022

The caveats on these charts get bigger with each edition as more and  more publishers stop being Diamond Comic Exclusive. DC Comics has gone to Lunar Distruibution, aside from Diamon UK, which these charts never include. Marvel has almost gone, aside from Diamond UK and thrid party distribution by Diamond from Penguin Random House. And IDW has gone that way too, while a number of other publishers are also being distrubuted by Lunar. But the only official stats being issued are from Diamond. So, among the publishers still with Diamond Comic Distributors, IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin #5,  the final issue of Kevin Eastman's "future Turtles" storyline was April's most-ordered comic book. Image Comics' Reckless: The Ghost in You by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips is the month's most ordered graphic novel.

Boom Studios rounded out the top ten with two titles: Keanu Reeves' BRZRKR #8 (#8), and Dan Panosian and Giorgio Spalletta's Alice Ever After #1 (#10). Among the premier publishers, Dynamite Entertainment's Immortal Red Sonja #1 was their top book at #24; and Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's We Have Demons #2 was Dark Horse Comics' best-seller at #31.

The Ghost in You, the fourth volume in Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' noir graphic novel series Reckless from Image Comics, was April's best-selling graphic novel through Diamond Comic Distributors.
