We’re a day late with the digital comics best-sellers due to some technical difficulties, but here’s what’s topping the digital charts on Monday evening.
1. The Walking Dead #121
2. Injustice: Year Two #3
3. Batman #28
4. All-New X-Men #23
5. Superior Spider-Man #27.NOW
6. Justice League of America #12
7. Avengers, vol. 5 #26
8. Superman/Wonder Woman #5
9. She-Hulk #1
10. Wolverine and the X-Men #41
It’s business as usual at comiXology, with this week’s new comics from Marvel and DC dominating the top ten. The one non-Big Two comic is the latest issue of The Walking Dead, from Image, which tops the chart, as usual. The third issue of Tom Taylor’s digital-first Injustice: Year Two takes the second slot; this is consistently one of the best-selling digital comics across all platforms. For those who keep score, DC has four comics on the chart and Marvel has five.
1. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
2. Hyperbole and a Half
3. Injustice: Year Two #3
4. The Walking Dead #121
5. Stephen King’s N
6. The Walking Dead, vol. 2
7. Big Nate: I Smell a Pop Quiz
8. The Hedge Knight: The Graphic Novel
9. The Sworn Sword: The Graphic Novel
10. Injustice: Year Two #2
The Kindle list echoes the comiXology list a bit but leans heavily toward mass-market properties: The Walking Dead, in graphic novel and single-issue form (graphic novel readers are starting at the beginning, while single-issue readers grab the latest one) and two Game of Thrones tie-ins.
1. The Walking Dead, vol. 1
2. Injustice: Year Two #3
3. Smallville, Season 11 #1
4. Superman: The Man of Steel #1
5. Green Lantern #1
6. MAD Magazine #1
7. Superman #1
8. Batman Beyond #1
9. Animal Man #1
10. Legends of the Dark Knight #1
This week’s Nook chart is very similar to last week’s, with DC’s 99-cent first issues filling out the ranks after the obligatory volume of The Walking Dead and this week’s issue of Injustice: Year Two.
iBooks

The Walking Dead sweeps the iBooks chart; in fact, the first non-Walking Dead book doesn’t appear until the number 13 slot (and it’s—surprise!—Injustice: Year Two #3). OK, this is not terribly surprising, given that the new season just started, but it’s interesting how iBooks users deviate from readers on other platforms: Not only are all three of the different formats (single issues, trade collections, and compendiums) represented, but the readers of the trade collections are buying both old and newer volumes.
