Digital Comics Best-Sellers for December 22, 2013

MLP_micro10-coverRI

ComiXology, Amazon, and iBooks all have a sale on DC “Essential Graphic Novels,” and it plays out totally differently on all three platforms.

ComiXology

1. Quantum and Woody #1
2. The Sandman #1
3. Hawkeye #1
4. Motorcycle Samurai #0
5. Marvel Now! Point One #1
6. Saga #17
7. The Bunker #1
8. All New X-Men #20
9. Superior Spider-Man #24
10. Locke & Key: Alpha #2

Just as happened last week, the top ten includes a bunch of comics that were given away free as part of comiXology’s 12-day comics giveaway. Let’s strip out those #1′s (and #0) and see what folks will actually pay money for:

1. Saga #17
2. All New X-Men #20
3. Superior Spider-Man #24
4. Locke & Key: Alpha #2
5. Uncanny Avengers #15
6. Batman: The Complete Hush
7. Batman: The Killing Joke
8. Batman: The Long Halloween
9. X-Men, vol. 4 #8
10. Onslaught Unleashed #1

Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga #17 leads the list, as well it should. Also near the top is the last issue of Locke & Key. Those Batman graphic novels are marked down as part of the DC Essentials Sale—25 graphic novels priced at $5.99 each. That sale goes on till January 2, so there’s plenty of time to check it out. In terms of publishers, Marvel wins the day with five, DC has three, and Image and IDW have one each.

Kindle

1. Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Ghoul Goblin, vol. 1
2. The Hedge Knight
3. The Sandman, vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes
4. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
5. The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes
6. The Essential Calvin and Hobbes
7. Batman, vol. 1: The Court of Owls
8. Justice League, vol. 1: Origin
9. Captain America, vol. 1: Winter Soldier
10. Iron Man: Extremis

Amazon is offering the DC Essential Graphic Novels sale as well, which is probably why The Sandman moves up a couple of notches; otherwise, this week’s list is very similar to last week’s. The only other one of the sale graphic novels to crack the top 20 is Watchmen, at number 15.

Nook

1. The Sandman: Overture #1
2. Forever Evil #3
3. Smallville, season 11, #1
4. It's a Dog's Life, Snoopy
5. Sandman #1
6. The World According to Lucy
7. Snoopy at the Bat
8. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
9. Adventures of Superman #1
10. Batman ’66 #1

This week’s Nook lineup is the same as last week’s except Naruto has dropped out. They have separated out the same set of “essential” DC graphic novels, but they are priced at $9.31 each.

iBooks

1. My Little Pony: Micro Series #10 – Luna
2. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #14
3. The Walking Dead #118
4. Blue Is the Warmest Color
5. Batman: The Killing Joke
6. The Walking Dead #117
7. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
8. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #12
9. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
10. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #11

Two of the Batman graphic novels make the top ten at iBooks, but the Dark Knight himself can’t beat the power of My Little Pony or The Walking Dead.
