The Superhero chart is dominated by DC Compact Comics Editions and Marvel Premier Collections, which are clearly hitting a chord with readers. The chart shows a mix of debut and older titles in both programs, and there are so many that they have knocked the 2019 edition of Watchmen off the chart.
Nostalgia remains a strong factor as well, with the paperback Transformers Compendium Vol. 1 making the chart even after the hardcover edition raised over $4.6 million on Kickstarter (see "‘Transformers Compendium’ Series Hits $2M in Two Days"). Readers are also responding well to modern reworkings of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and of course, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Five different publishers are represented on the Manga chart, a far cry from the days when it was a VIZ-o-rama. We're also seeing shojo titles re-enter the scene, with volumes of The Apothecary Diaries and A Sign of Affection in the Top 20 as well as the breakout yuri hit The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All.

The Author chart, on the other hand, is a study in monotony, consisting almost entirely of Solo Leveling and Invincible, with three May releases, Spent, Vol. 8 of Lore Olympus, and Vol. 12 of Saga returning for another month.
