'Justice League, Vol. 4' takes No. 1 spot on best-sellers list this week

'Justice League, Vol. 4'

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 only one new book sitting atop the two major graphic novel lists this week.

“Justice League, Vol. 4” by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis replaced “Fear Agent: Library Edition, Vol. 2” by Rick Remender, Tony Moore and others as the No. 1 book on the Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list this week.

“Saga, Vol. 3” by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples remained the top book on the Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list for the third straight week.

There were four 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  “Justice League, Vol. 4” by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis (1), “Batman ’66, Vol. 1” by Jeff Parker and Richard Case (2), “Spider-Man: Family Business” by Mark Waid, James Robinson and Gabriele Dell’Otto (5) and “Batman, Vol. 3” by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo (8).

There were three books on this week’s Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list last week. They included “Justice League, Vol. 3” by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis (8), “Green Arrow, Vol. 4” by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino (9) and “Saga, Vol. 2” by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples (10).

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.
