Those were four of nine manga titles VIZ Media placed in the Top 20 for March, a strong showing for the category.
The Walking Dead may be a shadow of its former sales juggernaut self, but the latest volume took the #1 slot in March, with the season building to its final episode that month.
The world of films also had an impact on sales, with Wolverine: Old Man Logan (trade paperback and hardcover editions) landing in the Top 20 as Fox’s Logan film was released.
Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Image Comics title Snotgirl stayed in the Top 20 for a second month, a sign that this new property may have some staying power.
