We're back and at least partially recovered from our adventure at the Pittsburgh Comic Con, a show which is very similar to our own NEO ComicCon. They definitely specialize in comics, comics, and more comics, and yet somehow Ye Olde Shopkeep managed, for once, not to spend his way into an insurmountable hole. He did buy some things (of course!), but we'll save those for another post; right now, it's time for the Top 10!
Here we go, based ONLY on sales this week at the shop:
10. Captain America #16: Great last page that hints at some big things on the horizon for the Marvel Universe.
9. X-Men #40: Quality!
8: DC All-In, Darkseid vs. The World #1: Sales on this book jumped once the news broke about its references to the Absolute Universe.
7. Superman #43: Our Superman readers continue to love what DC is doing with these titles.
6. Void Rivals #35: In a battle of the titans this week, VR is our only indy to make the list.
5. Alien vs. X-men #2: YOS has been waiting for this book since the first appearance of the Brood!
4. Batman Bad Seeds, Gotham General #1: When your tie-in books start making it this far up the list, you know you're on a real heater!
3. Amazing Spider-Man #1002: Quietly, this run of Amazing is getting better and better.
2. Absolute Wonder Woman #25: Well, sure. Great book, and we have to start wondering where this places in the pantheon of Wonder Woman titles.
1. Absolute Batman #25: Well, double sure. We've never seen anything like how people are reacting to this series.
Our Hidden Gem of the Week could have been penciled in when we placed the order: Universal Monsters, The Bride of Frankenstein Lives. #1. Never mind our bias towards the character; all the Universal Monster books have been top notch.
To see what other books might be making some notches of their own, be sure to tune in for the Live Show tomorrow night at 8. We'll take a look at all the new things that just arrived MERE MOMENTS AGO, and you can claim any awesomeness you see!
