Kicking off our “Best of 2023” series with our 25 best selling comic books for the year. We will be adding some posts featuring other bestsellers, staff picks, and some memorable events from the year as we wind down the whirlwind that was 2023.
A quick note: This list does not combine all of the covers that sold for a given issue, honestly, because it would be a fool’s errand to spend all of that time trying to see how many variants or second printings sold in addition to the main cover. And sometimes a cover B or C by the right artist can move as many copies as a main cover A.
This was a lot of fun to put together and to re-visit some of the best selling comic books of the year (Riddler: Year One #2, for instance, came out the first week of January and was a huge seller just like the first issue in late 2022), and to see the not-so-surprising Batman domination of the top sellers. Still, there were plenty of other series that made the cut, like Saga, Transformers, and Void Rivals, and a strong showing from some of the Spidey books as well. Check it out!
