New 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' graphic novel appears on best-sellers list

Today is Tuesday, so that means it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s New York Times lists of best-selling graphic novels. According to those lists, there is one new book at the top of the two major graphic novel lists this week.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender, Part 3” by Gene Luen Yang and others replaced “Avatar: The Last Airbender, Part 2” by Gene Luen Yang and others as the top book on the Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list.

“Batman, Vol. 3” by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo remained the No. 1 book on the Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list for the second week in a row.

There were three books on this week’s Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They (and their places on the list) included “The Sandman Omnibus, Vol. 2” by Neil Gaiman and others (2), “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs and Cassandra Jean (3) and “Jane, the Fox, and Me” by Fanny Britt, Isabelle Arsenault and others (10).

There were four books on this week’s Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list last week. They included “Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Search, Part 3” by Gene Luen Yang and others (1), “The Walking Dead, Vol. 13” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard (3), “The Complete Calvin and Hobbes” by Bill Watterson (4) and “Persepolis” by Marjane Satrapi (9).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Tuesday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list. These lists are initially released each week on Sunday, and if you’re interested in reading them then, visit The New York Times’ Web site at www.nytimes.com. Below you’ll find both of this week’s best-seller lists.

  1. thank you, me has rating of the following video
    I thought that Avatar when it first came out was gonna be another Nick Show flop. When the first episode came out I watched it for about 10 mins. and I thought wow and couldn't stop watching. The show I think keeps you involved. Nick has picked some bad shows but not this one. The plot is very well designed and characters are thought out and are dynamic. I think thats what makes a show good. Also the fact that when a show ends then next time then it carrys on what happened in the next episode rather than acting like it never happened. The show captures a sense of reality and makes the audience more into it. The writers write some pretty decent material. Classic comedy and new moral comedy with good values. All in all I give the show a perfect score of 10/10 stars with both thumbs way up.
