Ultimate Spider-Man Tops October Graphic Novel Sales Charts:
Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 1 has topped the graphic novel sales charts for October 2024, the second month in a row. However, the big surprise is the number two slot: DC Versus Marvel Omnibus, which costs a whopping $150, so clearly sold not just a ton of copies, but also made a ton of money for DC Comics.
Meanwhile, per ICv2, Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees continues to be a big hit for IDW, slipping to number three after coming in at number two last month. And the Compact Comics line from DC continues to be big, grabbing five slots on the Top 20.
Close on their heels? James Tynion IV, who has two volumes of Something is Killing the Children and one of The Deviant all on the charts. And Titan Comics joins the charts at number six with Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze, a graphic novel inspired by and created in coordination with Hendrix’s estate.
Marvel Teases Kidpool Comic:
Kidpool made a splash this summer in Deadpool & Wolverine as part of the Deadpool Corps. And now the kid with a mouth (I guess that’s most kids) will make her debut in Kidpool & Spider-Boy #1. Not only that, Marvel is teasing that this might be the MCU character, making her mighty Marvel Comics debut.
Written by Christopher Yost, with art by Nathan Stockman, the one-shot will — per the title — reveal the first meeting between the kid version of Deadpool, and Spider-Boy. But the official synopsis also tantalizingly teases this might be the same Kidpool from the movie. It’s not out of the question, either, as the character Kahhori recently crossed over from the MCU to the 616 in this week’s Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1.
Kidpool & Spider-Boy #1 hits stores on December 25, 2024.
Mike Mignola Covers The Writer:
Legendary artist Mike Mignola will provide a cover for the direct market edition of The Writer from Dark Horse Comics.
The book, by Josh Gad, Ben and Max Berkowitz, Ariel Olivetti and Frank Cvetkovic is about a comic book writer who gains fantastic powers and battles creatures from Jewish folklore. Said Ben Berkowitz on the trade edition, “Mike Mignola—my hero, inspiration, and creator whose work has profoundly shaped The Writer and my own journey—illustrated this INCREDIBLE cover for our series. I was left in tears when I saw it for the first time.”
The Writer trade hits stores on April 22, 2024.
