Midnight Beats Absolute & Batman In This Week’s Top 11 Bestseller List
Marvel’s Midnight Universe beats Absolute and Batman in this week’s Top 11 Wednesday-To-Weekend Bestseller List
Article Summary
- Midnight Beats Absolute & Batman as Midnight Spider-Man #1 tops the bestseller list, outselling Batman by roughly 3-to-1.
- Marvel’s Midnight Universe dominates the Top 11, with Midnight X-Men #1 and Midnight Fantastic Four #1 close behind.
- Batman #14 leads DC’s pack, while Demon #1 and Absolute Superman #24 trail far behind Marvel’s Midnight launches.
- Something Is Killing The Children #50, Amazing Spider-Man #1000 and Beneath The Trees add variety to the weekly chart.
Marvel’s Midnight Universe obliterated comic book store sales this week, with Midnight Spider-Man #1 at the top, Midnight X-Men #1 slightly behind and Midnight Fantastic Four #1 dropping a bit back, but all comfortably ahead of Batman, which Midnight Spider-Man #1 sold three times as many copies, and four times as many as Absolute Superman and Demon. Something Is Killing The Children made a rare appearance for its 50th blind bag issue, as does Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees for its all-star Halloween Special. Marvel only published the three Midnight titles this week, but Amazing Spider-Man #1000 still made it onto the chart. Marvel got four in the top eleven, Boom one, IDW one and DC five

The Top 10 Wednesday-To-Weekend Bestsellers is compiled by over a hundred named direct market comic stores from their sales from Wednesday to Friday, the “Wednesday Warriors”. The chart is compiled from actual sales data from 120 to 150 comic book stores provided by ComicHub, out of around 1800-2000 direct market comic book shops, which provide POS services for comic book retailers worldwide, mostly in North America and the UK. These are typically from what might be called mid-range stores, and we list a bunch below. Bleeding Cool Bestseller List gives the best-selling reported comic of the week, the 100.0 number, and you can see how each title performed as a percentage of that sale. These numbers are based on in-store sales, rather than publisher orders.
