Article Summary

  • Ultimate X-Men #1 tops the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List, dethroning Batman.

The launch of an Ultimate title may be the only thing that can knock Batman off the top of the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List, and this week, that was Ultimate X-Men #1 by Peach Momoko and Zack Davisson. There were also strong performances from the Spectacular Spider-Men launch, while the return of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, and the continued success of Void Rivals mixed the chart up a bit while the third print of Ultimate Spider-Man #1 shows that the book exceeds all expectations.

This is the Top Ten Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by over a hundred direct market comic stores from their sales from Tuesday to Friday, what used to be known as the "Wednesday Warriors" are those who can't wait till the weekend to get their week's comics. Though thanks to DC, Tuesday Titans, too. 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 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.
