The New York Times Best Sellers list for graphic books is out for the the past week, and it’s one that features a lot of high quality books. It’s nice to look down the Paperback Graphic Books list especially and see so many quality titles on it: Fables (although it’s the dreaded “Great Fables Crossover), a whole lot of The Walking Dead, The Unwritten, and Chew are all featured prominently.

Seems like those that are trade waiting are being fairly clever about it so far. Let’s just see if we can use some of that Deadpool money on something else now.
