Marvel's three Black Panther volumes by Ta-Nehisi Coates moved up on the book channel bestseller charts as the hit movie released (see "’Black Panther’ Becomes Just the 3rd MCU Film to Three-Peat"), based on NPD BookScan data for February (1/29/2018 - 2/25/2018) provided to ICv2.  The three volumes took the #2, #9, and #15 slots for the month.

The latest volume of My Hero Academia took the #1 slot, one of seven VIZ Media volumes and eight manga titles overall in the Top 20.

The latest hardcover volume of Dynamite Entertainment’s Brandon Sanderson's White Sand (see "Preview: Brandon Sanderson’s ‘White Sand’") showed the property’s bookstore roots with a strong showing, debuting at #5.

Two interesting titles from months past worked their way into the Top 20 for the first time:  The Dialogues:  Conversations About the Nature of the Universe, from MIT Press, and The End of the F**king World, from Fantagraphics.
