Comixology Bestseller List, 2nd November 2018 – So Who Likes Heroes In Crisis, Anyway

Matthew Snyder writes,

Welcome to the Comixology Bestseller list, your guide to see how well your favorite titles are selling digitally. Every week I'll post the ranking of every new title, plus a ranking of the best selling volumes & graphic novels. As always, I hope you find it interesting and informative.

It's a fifth Wednesday and I've got a massive Halloween sugar hangover, so I'll try to keep it brief. That said, DC made it interesting this fifth Wednesday, They saved some much anticipated releases for this week, and as a result they tied Marvel in the Top 10, whole also taking 5 of the top 6 spots. And while Heroes in Crisis seems to be as popular as chlamydia in the Bleeding Cool comments, it's as popular as funnel cakes on Comixology, hitting No. 1.

Comixology Bestseller List, 2nd November 2018 – So Who Likes Heroes In Crisis, Anyway

It's funny, but all the DC titles that get the most anger in the BC comments (Batwedding, HIC, new Nightwing) sell fantastic. Now obviously I can't measure fan outrage; these are just my personal observations. But I could be wrong on that. Maybe I missed some nice remarks. Tell us your thoughts on Heroes in Crisis with this completely unscientific poll.


Overall, it's been a successful October for DC, much needed since the second half of the year has been less than stellar for the company in the digital sales arena.

That's not to say Marvel is faring poorly. It's just that DC got its groove back and and has had an edge over Marvel every week this month. Marvel should still be very happy Fresh Start helped them gain some ground, and those numbers have wavered very little. Soon, Fresh Start will provide the cherry on top for 2018: a 10-week arc to kick off Uncanny X-Men. It's going to be an exciting, competitive two months to end the year.

Alright, I ate like 20 fun-size Twix while writing this, so I need to find some protein before I crash. If diabetes hasn't taken me, I'll see you next week.
