Digital Comics Best-Sellers for July 28 – Oh, the Injustice!

Here’s my roundup of digital comics best-sellers from the leading platforms. ComiXology 1. Injustice: Gods Among Us #28 2. Batman/Superman #2 3. Justice League Dark #22 4. Superior Spider-Man #14 5. Hawkeye Annual #1 6. Uncanny Avengers #10 7. New Avengers, vol. 3 #8 8. Hunger #1 9. Wolverine and the X-Men #33 10. Batman ’66 #4 The list begins and ends with digital-first comics, and the fact that the previous issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us doesn’t show up until number 15 suggests that readers are snapping up fresh copies of these weekly comics as they come out. Kindle 1. Scott Pilgrim: Precious Little Life, color edition, vol. 1 2. Superman #1 3. Deadpool, vol. 1: Secret Invasion 4. Wolverine by Claremont and Miller 5. Deadpool Classic, vol. 1 6. Deadpool, vol. 2: Dark Reign 7. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns 8. Injustice: Gods Among Us #1 9. Wolverine: Old Man Logan 10. The Walking Dead, vol. 1 Everything on here except Superman #1 is a graphic novel or collected edition. It’s interesting to see Scott Pilgrim, which was released almost a year ago, in the number 1 spot; what on earth could have caused a surge that would bring it to the top of the Amazon charts? The Wolverine and Deadpool books doubtless got a bounce from both the Wolverine movie and the sale Amazon is having on Wolvering and Deadpool books. Amazon has a separate chart for single-issue comics; nine of the ten slots are taken by Injustice: Gods Among Us, with the most recent issue in the top spot. The one other comic is Superman #1, which Amazon was giving away for free for a while; this may have boosted the numbers. Nook 1. Injustice: Gods Among Us #23 2. Injustice: Gods Among Us #25 3. Bleach, vol. 57 4. Injustice: Gods Among Us #28 5. Injustice: Gods Among Us #26 6. Sandman #1 7. Injustice: Gods Among Us #20 8. Injustice: Gods Among Us #22 9. Injustice: Gods Among Us #24 10. Injustice: Gods Among Us #27 I stripped out the free books from Barnes and Noble’s list to make it compatible with the other lists. Bleach is still up there, and it’s interesting to note that the latest volume of Naruto is in the number 11 slot, just missing the top ten. So for some group of people, the Nook is a significant manga reading platform. iBooks 1. Injustice: Gods Among Us #27 2. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns 3. Injustice: Gods Among Us #1 4. Injustice: Gods Among Us #26 5. Injustice: Gods Among Us #3 6. Injustice: Gods Among Us #2 7. My Little Pony: Micro Series #6 8. Injustice: Gods Among Us #5 9. Injustice: Gods Among Us #6 10. Injustice: Gods Among Us #7 So, Injustice: Gods Among Us continues to be the digital comics phenomenon. And here’s an interesting statistic from DC co-publisher Jim Lee: 30% of Injustice readers are new to comics. That’s not too surprising because although stars Superman and Batman, Injustice is based on a game, and the gaming audience is much bigger than the comics world. I checked the New York Times print graphic novel best-seller lists (hardcover and paperback) to see if there were any larger trends that would be affecting these digital charts—a surge in print sales of Scott Pilgrim, for instance—but there is literally no overlap between the lists, aside from the popularity of The Walking Dead. It’s as if they were in two different universes—which, indeed, they are. Digital Comics Best-Sellers for July 28 – Oh, the Injustice! is a post from: E-Reader News
