The folks at ICv2 have the top twenty adult graphic novels for the month of Marc out as supplied by Nielsen BookScan and it’s definitely an interesting list. The big winner is DC Comics as they take the top spot with the Batman Vs Superman: The Greatest Battles collection, which is one of two books they have this month as The Killing Joke continues to do well month after month. Image Comics has some solid books on the list with a focus on The Walking Dead while Marvel Comics has a good range with Civil War doing the best but also some fun Deadpool and Secret Wars books.
Viz media gobbles up the manga side with a lot of books from One-Punch Man to Tokyo Ghoul, which has all five volumes on the list for the moth.
