(No Young Animal collections appear on the July 2018 Top 500.)

These figures represent only those sales reported through Diamond-North America accounts. They do not include sales through book stores, foreign sales, book clubs, or to most libraries.

Note that for those trades with no listed sales in July (DeathstrokeBatgirlBatman Beyond, etc.) that just means that they didn't make the Top 500 in collection sales for the month; they may have had sales that were below the Top 500 threshold (205 copies).
