Amazon Top 50 - December 12, 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:  
  • Dog Man: Big Jim Believes stays on top of the comics chart, despite some strong competition from The Far Side 2026 Off-The-Wall Calendar.
  • The very end of the teaser trailer for next summer's Supergirl movie featured a still stating that the movie was based on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and lo and behold two editions of the collection re-appear on the chart this week. It cost DC/Warners next to nothing to do this, and it boosts people interest and drives sales of the comics. It's puzzling that more comic book movies don't do this.
  • This week's top debut is the first volume of CoryxKenshin's Monsters We Make.
  • Entering the comics calendar arena for the first time is Bob's Work Chronicles.
