Amazon Top 50 - August 29, 2025





The cover of the "Dog Man: Big Jim Believes" graphic novel features the titular superhero, Dog Man, in a heroic flight pose. He soars through a vibrant blue sky, his red cape billowing dramatically behind him, complemented by a pair of white wings. Dog Man sports his signature red suit, complete with a yellow utility belt and matching red boots.  Accompanying him in the air is a large, purple, cat-like character. This character, distinguished by glasses and a cupcake emblem on its chest, also wears a similar red outfit, mirroring Dog Man's heroic attire.  Below them, perched on a city building, a small, pink cat character gazes upwards at the flying duo. The background is a dynamic scene of orange explosions against the bright blue sky, with city buildings visible below, suggesting an ongoing adventure.  The book's title, "DOG MAN," is emblazoned prominently in bold, white capital letters, with the subtitle "Big Jim Believes" also clearly displayed. The author's name, "Dav Pilkey," is visible at the bottom of the cover.

Commentary:  
  • The preorder for the next volume in the best-selling Dog Man series, Big Jim Believes, moves into the top spot this week. We should expect to see it being in the top spot for many weeks to come (though it may occasionally be dethroned).
  • The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of the latest issue of Superman, which is directly tied into the current DC mega narrative. The top (and only) print debut is a new volume of the manga series Blue Lock.

An illustration of Sung Jin-Woo from Solo Leveling, volume 13.  He is depicted with piercing, glowing blue eyes that seem to hold immense power.  Dark, shadowy tendrils writhe and emanate from his body, crackling with vibrant purple energy, hinting at his formidable abilities.  The title "Solo Leveling" is prominently displayed in a stylized, impactful font.  Below the title, the volume number "13" is clearly visible, along with credits indicating Dubu (Redice Studio) as the artist, Original Story by Chugong, and Adapted by h-goon.

Commentary:  
  • Dog Man: Big Jim Begins returns to the top spot this week after spending last week at #2.
  • This week's top debut is the Kindle edition of Transformers #23.
  • For some reason, the hardcovers of the first Absolute Batman and Absolute Wonder Woman collections aren't on the chart this week, but the paperback editions are. Generally the different formats for graphic novels receive their own separate entries on the chart, but who knows what's going on here? (As I've said before, strange and mysterious are the ways of the Amazon sales charts.) Aside from those two items, the only other print debuts this week are volumes of Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You and Jujutsu Kaisen.
  • Normally I have to weed out several non-comics items from Amazon's comics charts, but the past few weeks have seen very few if any such items in the top fifty. Again: strange and mysterious...

Amazon Top 50 - August 8, 2025





Cover of Absolute Batman Vol. 1: The Zoo.   A powerful depiction of Batman, clad in a formidable grey and black armored suit, stands stoically within a darkened doorway.  His iconic black cape, intricately designed with sharp, bat-like wing extensions, drapes dramatically behind him, hinting at the darkness he commands.  Behind him, the sprawling city skyline unfolds under the warm, fading light of a sunset, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange and yellow.  Dominating the upper portion of the image, the bold title "ABSOLUTE BATMAN" is presented, with "THE ZOO" positioned directly below the main image, signifying the specific storyline.  At the very bottom, the names of the creative talents behind this vision – "SCOTT SNYDER", "NICK DRAGOTTA", and "FRANK MARTIN" – are clearly visible, acknowledging their contributions.
