Thoughts and Observations

The craziest/most impressive thing on all these lists is Saga Vol. 7 being the best seller in March. It came out on the 29th that month! 3 days to outsell every other book of the month and by quite a bit too. Crazy.
Saga Vol. 7 has had a firm grasp on the top slot since it came out so you knew it was going to take something big to knock it off it's pedestal. Enter Bitch Planet Vol. 2. People have been waiting a long, long time for this one.
Love seeing Wonder Woman on the list for June. We had such an awesome Wonder Woman day and that movie has had such an exciting impact on people. We have a crazy wide spectrum of people coming in for WW stuff right now.
The Book Club Effect is real! Space Riders in April, Tethered in May, and Infinite Seven in June all hit the list after being our Book Club selections.
Pretty cool to see all 3 volumes of the current Black Panther series on the list for June. That new movie trailer has people legitimately hyped for all things Black Panther right now.
Rick and Morty Vol. 1 makes a surprise appearance on the June list. Maybe it was the April Fool's episode that was released or maybe it was something else, but there has been a huge boost of interest in R&M lately.
Space Riders! I wonder how many other shops sell as much of this book as we do. It's probably completely do to always having it facing out or on our recommendations table. That cover sells itself.
Speaking of Space Riders, the team behind that beauty of a book just released a new one called Tarantula and it's already a best seller. They call it Satanic Pulp Noir and it's amazing.
39 of the 64 titles listed above are from Image Comics. That's over 60%!
