Challengers Comics, in Chicago, Illinois recently posted their top 100 selling comics and 100 selling graphic novels for the 2019.
Some observations:
- KID GLOVES was their top-selling graphic novel! Challengers had an creator event for it. In fact, 5 Graphic Novels in the Top 39 are books they had creator events for. (That goes to show how successful creator events can be in selling books).
- 25 of their top 100 Graphic Novels were All ages.
- Author Tom King had 29 spots in their top 100 comics list.
- Image Comics had 34 books in the top 100 graphic novels list.
- Only manga to crack top 100 was My Hero Academia. (Multiple titles)
- Detective Comics #1000 (DC) was the top selling comic. But the next 14 hottest sellers were all X-Men related. (Marvel)
