Digital Comics Best-Sellers for September 1 2013

mylittlepony07-cova

Here’s my weekly look at the digital comics best-sellers, or at least a snapshot taken on Sunday evening.

ComiXology

1. Injustice: Gods Among Us #33
2. Justice League #23
3. Batman/Superman #3
4. New Avengers, vol. 3 #9
5. Uncanny X-Men, vol. 3 #11
6. Uncanny Avengers #11
7. Wolverine and the X-Men #35
8. Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, vol. 2 #26
9. Young Avengers, vol. 2 # 9
10. Justice League #8

ComiXology had a lot of comics on 99-cent sale this weekend, but the only one to crack the top ten list is Justice League #8, at number 10. Five more made it into the top 20, though, all of them Justice League issues (leading up to the Trinity War crossover; apparently some folks had some catching up to do). In fact, the first non-Justice League sale comic to pop up on the best-selling pages is the Red Hulk graphic novel, which is below number 60 in the rankings. This is interesting because it shows that however many comics comiXology is selling at that 99-cent price point, there are far more customers willing to pay full price for this week’s new comics.

Kindle

1. Injustice: Gods Among Us #33
2. Iron Man: Extremis
3. Wolverine (by Chris Claremont)
4. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (by Eric Shanower)
5. Ultimate Spider-Man, vol. 1: Power and Responsibility
6. Injustice: Gods Among Us #32
7. Axe Cop, vol. 1
8. Justice League #1
9. Injustice: Gods Among Us #31
10. Injustice: Gods Among Us #1

Amazon also had Justice League comics on sale for 99 cents, and again, only one made it into the top ten list, but the long tail is much shorter here—there’s only one additional Justice League comic in the top 20. This is the “Comics & Graphic Novels with Kindle Panel View” list; the other list, of straight-up Kindle comics, consists entirely of single issues of Injustice: Gods Among Us except for two issues of Justice League; three more show up when you stretch it to the top 20. While the Panel View readers go for quite a few graphic novels, the other list is entirely single issues.

Nook

1. Injustice: Gods Among Us #32
2. Injustice: Gods Among Us #33
3. It’s a Dog’s Life, Snoopy!
4. The World According to Lucy…
5. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
6. Snoopy at the Bat
7. Sandman #1
8. Injustice: Gods Among Us #1
9. The Walking Dead, vol. 2
10. The Walking Dead, vol. 3

What you’re not seeing here, because I filtered them out, is a lot of free Nook books, both previews and full issues of comics, including several issues of the digital manga magazine Gen. The number 10 comic on my list is number 37 on the Nook best-seller list, meaning there were 26 free books that did better.

iBooks

1. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #10
2. Injustice: Gods Among Us #33
3. Injustice: Gods Among Us #34
4. Injustice: Gods Among Us #32
5. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #9
6. Injustice: Gods Among Us #1
7. My Little Pony Micro Series #7 – Cutie Mark Crusaders
8. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #7
9. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #1
10. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Last week, I commented that this list had the most variety; this week, the ponies and Injustice dominate once more. And Batman: The Dark Knight Return continues to enjoy its post-San Diego sales bump.
