Amazing Spider-Man beats Absolute Flash to the top of the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List... but only just #bestseller
Amazing Spider-Man #14 from Marvel Comics tops the charts, but only just, pipping Absolute Flash from DC Comics to the top by five percentage points. And eight points ahead of Battle Beast from Image Comics. Further down the chart, Marvel Comics dominates, but it seems a less strong debut for the Age of Revelation series than one might have expected. The return of Punisher continues to do very well behind the polybag, as do political Doctor Doom stories in One World Under Doom and Captain America.
This is the Top Ten Bleeding Cool Bestseller List, as compiled by over a hundred 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, which provides 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 run a bunch of them 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 sales in-store, rather than orders from publishers.
