Digital Comics Best-Sellers for January 26, 2014

the-walking-dead-120

The Walking Dead hits three of the four charts we’re looking at this week, and so does Injustice: Year Two, but the Nook chart remains solidly impervious to these trends and continues with remarkable consistency from week to week.

ComiXology

1. The Walking Dead #120
2. Injustice: Year Two #2
3. Batman #27
4. Justice League #27
5. All-New X-Men #22.NOW
6. Hawkeye #16
7. Avengers, vol. 5 #25
8. Avengers World #2
9. Wolverine and the X-Men #40
10. X-Men, vol. 4 #9

This week’s best-sellers line up about like you’d expect, with new releases of three top-selling comics, The Walking Dead, Injustice: Year Two, and Batman leading the pack. It separates out nicely by publisher, too, with an Image title in the top spot, followed by three DC comics, and the rest of the list is all Marvel. So who won the week depends on whether position of number of slots counts more heavily in your reckoning.

Kindle

1. Hyperbole and a Half
2. Injustice: Year Two #2
3. Stephen King's N
4. X-Men: Days of Future Past
5. The Walking Dead #120
6. Infinity Gauntlet
7. The Unwritten # 1
8. The Sworn Sword
9. Injustice: Year Two #1
10. The Hedge Knight: The Graphic Novel

Allie Brosh’s blog-turned-book Hyperbole and a Half tops the Kindle chart for the fourth week in a row, and the latest issue of The Walking Dead and both issues of Injustice: Year Two make the chart as well. There are two George R.R. Martin graphic novels, but overall, nothing we haven’t seen before on this chart except for the first issue of The Unwritten, most likely from people sampling the series as it moves into its final arc.

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

This week’s chart is last week’s chart. My new theory about this is that people buy Nook graphic novels in small surges, as when a new volume of Naruto comes out, and other than that the sales are all in the long tail, not the top ten.

iBooks

1. The Walking Dead #120
2. Injustice: Year Two #2
3. My Little Pony: Friends Forever #1
4. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #16
5. My Little Pony: Micro Series #10 – Luna
6. Injustice: Year Two #1
7. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
8. The Walking Dead, vol. 2
9. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #2
10. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #15

The ponies have it in the iBookstore, and that issue #16 in the fourth slot is a pre-order, which means enough people are shelling out for this comic before it comes out to boost it to a decent rating. And then there’s the latest Walking Dead, making its third appearance of the day, and the first two issues of Injustice: Year Two, as more people jump into the series and others pick up the latest issue.
