'Batman, Vol. 2' takes top spot on Paperback Graphic Books list this week

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.

“Batman, Vol. 2” by Scott Snyder and others replaced “Battling Boy” by Paul Pope as the top book on the Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list this week.

“The Walking Dead, Book 9” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard remained the No. 1 book on the Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list for the second 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 “Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman, Omnibus, Vol. 1” by Jonathan Hickman and others (2), “The Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story” by Peter Bagge (3), “Primates” by Jim Ottaviani and Maris Wicks (9) and “RASL” by Jeff Smith (10).

There were three books on this week’s Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list last week. They included “Batman, Vol. 2” by Scott Snyder and others (1), “Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake” by Natasha Allegri (2) and “The Walking Dead Compendium, Vol. 2” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard (4).

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.
