Diamond is back to monthly sales charts! A little leaner than we used to have, but at long last, metrics are back, baby!

KOTOR-omnibus-1.jpegJuly was led by some familiar franchises…and a bold newcomer.

  • Marvel Comics’ X-Men #1 was the most-ordered comic book in July
  • Image Comics’ M.O.M.: Mother of Madness #1, cowritten by Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones),  with cowriter Marguerite Bennett, and artist Leila Leiz, was the publisher’s top book at #5
  • Marvel Comics’ Star Wars: The Old Republic Omnibus Volume 1 was the month’s most ordered graphic novel

X-Men #1 by Gerry Duggan and Pepe Larraz was one of 8 Marvel titles in the Top 10 periodicals. Image’s M.O.M.: Mother of Madness and Skybound X #1 rounded out the top 10.

Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt, and Ron Garney’s BRZRKR #4 was BOOM! Studios’ top book for the month at #12. A prequel to the new Netflix series, Dark Horse Comics’ Masters of the Universe: Revelation #1 charted at #36. IDW Publishing’s top book for the July, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #6, ranked #78. Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, and Moritat’s The Invincible Red Sonja #3 was Dynamite Entertainment’s best-selling comic at #86.

Over in graphic novels, the #1 title was Star Wars: The Old Republic Omnibus Volume 1, published by Marvel but collecting the Dark Horse Comics series Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic by John Jackson Miller and Brian Ching. 

Yes, that would be the same John Jackson Miler who does the invaluable number crunching at Comichron.

So the Sales Charts Maven topped the sales chart! Miller noted in a tweet:

Elsewhere in the graphic novel Top 10, Marvel has a total of six titles.

Image Comics had two titles among July’s top ten: Fire Power by Kirkman & Samnee Volume 3, at #2; and Kirkman and Ryan Ottley’s Invincible Compendium Volume 1, at #4.

Also in the top ten, VIZ Media’s My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Volume 10 ranked #7 and Dark Horse Comics’ original graphic novel Avatar: The Last Airbender—Suki, Alone ranked #8.

Among the premier publishers, BOOM! Studios’ top book was Once & Future Volume 3 at #21; IDW Publishing’s Batman/The Maxx: Arkham Dreams ranked #41; and Dynamite Entertainment’s The Boys Omnibus Volume 1 ranked #166.

And the charts.
