Once again we are breaking down the numbers from 2022 to find out what was most popuar with our customers.
It was another year of dealing with the fallout from the pandemic, and the changes to distribution. We couldn’t always get what we needed in a reasonable time, but it was much better than the previous two years. So, it is a pretty accurate snapshot of what is popular withour customers.
We are breaking down our numbers across a number of lists, this one with all of the main Graphic Novels, which we include trade paperbacks, graphic novels, adaptations, and most western style comics in book form that aren’t specifically aimed at younger readers or young adults. We’ll also have a list for Kids & Teens, and a separate list for manga, and Other Books.
Obviously, the number 1 bestseller is…
Saga Volume 10! The return of Saga after the extended hiatus did not disappoint, and the readers welcomed it with open arms. Looks like Saga is back to dominate the list for years to come!
But Tom Taylor made his presence known again with DCeased, and our gamer fans made Critical Role race up the charts too! Look at Sandman in there too, helped along with the Netflix series introducing a new generation.
