DC’s “Rebirth” books continue to do well, with first issues of the JLA and Super Sons series appearing in the top 10. On the Marvel side, their top 10 books are “Star Wars” related titles, while Image’s “Walking Dead” #164 is the sole non-Big Two top 10 book.
Image offered for its 25th anniversary copies of “The Walking Dead” #163 for a quarter each. Diamond doesn’t list books that sell for less than a dollar in official figures, so its sales charts don’t show this book. Otherwise, it’d be the top book this month in units, with 750,000 books having shipped to comic shops.
