Old media, movies to be precise, also made its presence felt on March graphic novel sales in the book channel. Three Black Panther volumes were once again in the Top 20, and the classic Jim Starlin material in Infinity Gauntlet is back on the charts in the run-up to Avengers: Infinity War this month.
Those four volumes (three Black Panther and Infinity Gauntlet) made up Marvel’s entire presence in the Top 10, but that was still a stronger month in the Top 20 than DC Comics, which had the new Green Lantern: Earth One HC at #14.
