Mimi Pond's 'Over Easy' takes top spot on graphic novel 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 are two new books sitting atop the two major graphic novel lists this week.

“Over Easy” by Mimi Pond replaced “Spider-Man: Family Business” by Mark Waid, James Robinson and Gabriele Dell’Otto 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 replaced “The Walking Dead Compendium, Vol. 2” 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 “Over Easy” by Mimi Pond (1), “Justice League: Trinity War” by Geoff Johns and others (8) and “Injustice: Gods Among Us, Vol. 1” by Tom Taylor and Jheremy Raapack (9).

There were two books on this week’s Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list last week. They included “March: Book One” by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin (7) 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.
