Sometimes it’s because of heat for a new book, sometimes it’s a reaction to how well the first issue of a book sold. This weeks list is heavy with trades and hardcovers but there are some real speculative gold to be dug out of it too.
1. Age of Ultron 10 – Angela appears in the Marvel Universe. This will be big. People are excited for Neil Gaiman’s creation
2. Batman 21 – DCs sales juggernaut continues to sell well
3. True Lives of the Fabulous KillJoys #1 – Umbrella Academy writer and rockstar Gerard Way’s new book. Free Comic Day book brought heat to it.
4. Regular Show #3 – Sold out number 1 caught people by surprise. This was a pick of the week last week and we still have phantom variants and Third Eye Comics Variants for sale.
5. Green Lantern Corp #21- free rings brought this book up. People are more interested in the promo than the book.
6. Savage Wolverine #6 – Marvel’s most popular hero drawn by Frank Cho. Doesn’t hurt that he is drawing jungle minx Shanna the She Devil too
7. Guardians of the Galaxy #3 – hot book with upcoming movie.
8. Thanos Rising #1 2nd print – good story so far 1st issue finally sold out.
9. Regular Show #2 – see number 4.
10. Dream Merchant #2 – Another pick of the week. Strong sales on first issue.
