Hellsing was followed closely by xxxholic 2 from Del Rey, Trigun Maximum #1 from Dark Horse/Digital Manga, Fruits Basket #3 from Tokyopop and Rurouni Kenshin #5 from Viz. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 adaptation took the six spot and three other Spider-Man volumes made it into the top 50 (at 23, 26, and 43) demonstrating the power of the movie tie-in.
