The Walking Dead was stronger than last month’s dip (see "'Walking Dead' Loosens Hold in Bookstores"), with eight of the Top 10 in February, up from six the previous month. Saga Vol. 1 is hanging on in Top 20, which means that Image had nine of the top 20 adult graphic novels in bookstores in February.
Three of the remaining titles were DC's, including the new Justice League hardcover collection and the Batman: Night of the Owls hardcover collection.
The adaptation of The Book of Revelation is hanging in the Top 20, with Building Stories and Fun Home rounding out the roster.
