As we get further into the month, the folks at ICv2 have a more baseline look at what went down in the month of December 2020 when it came to graphic novels. For this month, there’s a good bit of variety thrown into the mix as DC and Batman books dominate – just not quite as much as usual. It’s no surprise to see the usual things here as we get Batman: Three Jokers again ruling the roost.
But once past there, we see that the new Star Wars: Darth Vader series is holding its spot in third place while the first volume of the main series in its relaunched form hits in fifth. Amusingly, three out of the four releases for Marvel that charted are Star Wars books.
Dark Horse Comics scores a slot with Mass Effect while Boom! Studios grab a couple of slots once again as well.
