Commentary:  
  • The top debut and new #1 this week is the pre-order for the Kindle edition of next month's issue of Batman.
  • It's followed closely by the bargain-priced first volume in Abrams' Dune adaptation. Because movie + bargain = sales!
  • The passing of manga creator Akira Toriyama sees his Sand Land—which was released way back in 2003—come in on the chart this week as the top print debut. Also showing up are the previously-charting Akira Toriyama's Manga Theater and Dragon Ball Complete Box Set
  • Also returning to the chart this week are a couple of Avatar: The Last Airbender omnibuses, no doubt as follow-on from the Netflix live action adaptation.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time 
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks
 
Commentary:  
  • After a one week break, Waverider bumps back to the top of the chart this week (with an asterisk). 
  • The top debut is a new Kindle issue of Resurrection of Magneto, leading the typical batch of Kindle single issues this week. Notably, last week's top book—Ultimate Spider-Man #2—doesn't disappear completely this week like most Kindle singles typically do.
  • The only print debut this week is The Crow: Special Edition hardcover; somewhat odd in that the Kindle version has been on deep discount for a couple of weeks now. I'm unsure if this is a splashover effect, or from anticipation of the forthcoming movie, or if something else is going on?

Top Comic Book Movies of 2023

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Here are the domestic grosses of comic book-related movies released in 2023—ranked by domestic (U.S.) box office—according to Box Office Mojo:

  1. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: $381M ($690M)
  2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: $358M ($846M)
  3. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: $215M ($476M)
  4. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom: $124M ($434M)
  5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem: $119M ($180M)
  6. The Flash: $108M ($271M)
  7. The Marvels: $85M ($206M)
  8. Blue Beetle: $72M ($131M)
  9. Shazam! Fury of the Gods: $58M ($134M)
  10. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Swordsmith Village: $10M ($56M)
  11. Knights of the Zodiac: $1M ($7M)
  12. Shortcomings: $0.7M ($0.7M)

This year we put the Worldwide box office in parentheses after the domestic box office, where you can see that Guardians 3 was the top comic book film worldwide, and many (though not all) of the movies did more business overseas than domestically. 

Movies scheduled for 2024 release include: Madame Web (Feb); Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Hashira Training (Feb); The Crow (Jun); Deadpool and Wolverine (Jul); Hellboy: The Crooked Man (Jul); Kraven the Hunter (Aug); Joker: Folie à Deux (Oct); Venom 3 (Nov); Red Sonja (TBD).

Commentary:  
  • Actually Waverider wasn't on the comics chart this week, but it's overall sales rank placed it comfortably ahead of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse; which means that Amazon decided to reclassify it—probably with the kids graphic novels—even though the Amulet #1-8 Box Set remains on the main comics chart. I'm not going to go and cross check the kids chart and the main chart every week, but when a great injustice like this is done I'll make an exception.
  • The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of the new issue of Fall of the House of X, which leads a relatively light batch of Kindle single issues this week.
  • Print debuts are led by pre-orders for the two recently announced DC Versus Marvel team-up omnibuses that were announced this week. Two more pre-orders round out this week's debuts: X-Men: The Manga: Remastered and a forthcoming volume of Judd Winick's Hilo series.

Commentary:  
  • The final volume of Amulet stays on top for the third straight week.
  • The top debut is the pre-order for an upcoming issue of Monstress, which leads the way in a slew of single issues this week (mostly pre-orders).
  • Now that the latest volume of Chainsaw Man has been released, the next forthcoming volume dutifully shows up on the chart as a pre-order, and is the sole print debut this week.
