'Fear Agent' graphic novel takes No. 1 spot on best-sellers 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 are two new books at the top of the two major graphic novel lists this week.

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

“Saga, Vol. 3” by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples replaced “The Walking Dead, Vol. 20” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard as the top book on the Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list.

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  “Fear Agent: Library Edition, Vol. 2” by Rick Remender, Tony Moore and others (1), “Uncanny X-Force By Rick Remender Omnibus” by Rick Remender, Jerome Opena and others (2) and “Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales: One Dead Spy” by Nathan Hale (8).

There were four books on this week’s Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list last week. They included “Saga, Vol. 3” by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples (1), “Green Arrow, Vol. 4” by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino (7), “Pearls Falls Fast” by Stephen Pastis (8) and “Drama” by Raina Telgemeier (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.
