You know, comiXology had some really great sales on really interesting comics this weekend, and it’s sort of disappointing to see that none of them showed up in the top ten—not the Hernandez Brothers’ Love and Rockets, not the excellent indie graphic novels published by Top Shelf. Just The Walking Dead and a bunch of superheroes who have been around since I was a kid. The top charting sale title was Eddie Campbell’s From Hell, a steal at $3.99, which made 14th place, and a bunch of Grant Morrison’s Superman titles did pretty well, too.
1. The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes
2. The Essential Calvin and Hobbes
3. Ultimate Comics Wolverine vs. Hulk
4. From Hell
5. The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes
6. The Hedge Knight
7. Stephen King’s N
8. The Sandman, vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes
9. The Walking Dead #116
10. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
Kindle users mixed it up a bit more, putting From Hell in fourth place (just behind another sale title). And the Calvin and Hobbes fans were out in force. George R.R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight did well in pre-orders and will probably be on the list for a while longer.
1. The Sandman: Overture #1
2. Naruto, vol. 63
3. Forever Evil #3
4. It’s a Dog’s Life, Snoopy
5. Sandman #1
6. The World According to Lucy
7. Snoopy at the Bat
8. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
9. Injustice: Gods Among Us #1
10. Big Nate: Game On
The Nook top ten is exactly the same as last week’s. Just sayin’.

The iBookstore remains reliably eclectic, with a heaping helping of kid-friendly titles (Avatar: The Last Airbender, My Little Pony) and some seriously adult titles (The Walking Dead, Blue Is the Warmest Color), as well as a mix of single-issue comics and graphic novels.
