These are unit and dollar sales rankings based on sales tracked at point-of-sale by the ComicHub system at stores selling American comics around the world.  During the period for which these reports were generated, there were roughly 85 stores using the ComicHub system.  As this is a small, non-random sample of over 3,000 stores selling American comics worldwide, these rankings may not be typical for all stores, but do represent a variety of locations and store emphases.

Unlike previous sources of comic bestseller data, these sales rankings represent actual sales to consumers during the period, not sales to stores.
