Digital Comics Best-Sellers for January 20 2014

Injustice Year Two

Readers prefer the uncensored version of Miracleman, Attack on Titan makes the Kindle chart, and where’s that second issue of Injustice: Year Two? Here’s my look at this week’s digital comics best-sellers, as of Sunday evening.

ComiXology

1. All-New X-Men #21
2. Superior Spider-Man #25
3. Uncanny X-Men, vol. 3 #16
4. Amazing X-Men #3
5. Justice League of America #11
6. Superman/Wonder Woman #4
7. Miracleman: Parental Advisory Edition #1
8. Justice League 3000 #2
9. The Walking Dead #119
10. Injustice: Year Two #1

There are a couple of quirky things in this week’s comiXology list. One is that Miracleman comic, which I explained earlier. The readers seem to be voting for the mature-rated edition, unsurprisingly. The second is Injustice: Year Two #1 showing up on the list for the second week in a row; it’s supposed to be a weekly comic, but there doesn’t seem to have been a new issue this week—the release date for issue #1 was January 7. And the Walking Dead lumber back in for a second week on the top ten. Marvel wins the week with five of the top ten; DC has four, and The Walking Dead is an Image title.

Kindle

1. Hyperbole and a Half
2. Injustice: Year Two #1
3. X-Men: Days of Future Past
4. Stephen King’s N
5. Infinity Gauntlet
6. The Hedge Knight: The Graphic Novel
7. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
8. Attack on Titan, vol. 1
9. The Walking Dead #119
10. Big Nate: I Smell a Pop Quiz

No, Big Nate, what you smell are the zombies right behind you! Seriously, the Kindle list is nothing if not eclectic this week, with Allie Brosh’s comic-ish Hyperbole and a Half leading the pack, followed by Tom Taylor’s Superman-as-dystopian-dictator story Injustice: Year Two and a marked-down X-Men graphic novel. The first volume of Attack on Titan pops up, I think for the first time, and it’s interesting that it’s vol. 1 and not the latest volume, but that’s good as it means new readers are picking it up.

Nook

1. Naruto, vol. 64
2. Smallville, Season 11 #1
3. It's a Dog's Life, Snoopy
4. Sandman #1
5. The World According to Lucy…
6. Snoopy at the Bat
7. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
8. Adventures of Superman #1
9. Batman '66 #1
10. The Walking Dead, vol. 2

With Barnes & Noble, I don’t so much check the list as check to see if it varied at all from last week’s list. The only change this week is that Batman ’66 and vol. 2 of The Walking Dead changed places.

iBooks

1. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #15
2. The Walking Dead #119
3. Injustice: Year Two #1
4. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
5. Injustice: Year Two #2
6. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #12
7. My Little Pony: Micro Series #10 – Luna
8. The Walking Dead, vol. 2
9. Injustice: Gods Among Us #1
10. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #12

That elusive second issue of Injustice: Year Two shows up in the iBookstore—as a pre-order. It looks like folks are picking up the first issue of the first season as well, maybe to catch up. Other than that, it’s ponies and zombies, ponies and zombies.
