Venom appeared on the chart for the first time we remember, also helped by the release of the Q4 movie.
Infinity War stayed in the top five despite the long period since the Avengers movie, an impressive performance.
Of course, Batman was #1, and DC had five of the top ten slots, an unusually strong performance.
This chart of the ICv2 "Top 10 Superhero Graphic Novel Franchises" reflects sales in all trade channels for Fall 2018, based on analysis of sales through comic stores and the book channel, including online.
