Big Events
Venom War
41 Venom #38 (Venom War)
79 Venom War: Wolverine #2 (Venom War)
89 Venom War: Deadpool #2 (Venom War)
91 Venom War #3 (Venom War) (Resolicitation)
94 Venom War: Venomous #3 (Venom War)
121 Venom War: Lethal Protectors #2 (Venom War)
122 Venom War: Carnage #3 (Venom War)
150 Venom War: Fantastic Four #1 (Venom War)
164 Venom War: Zombiotes #3 (Venom War)
184 Venom War: Spider-Man #3 (Venom War) (Resolicitation)
Venom War had zero comics in the Top 10, zero comics in the Top 25, and one comic in the Top 50. This was worse than September 2024 when Venom War had zero comics in the Top 10, one comic in the Top 25, and two comics in the Top 50.
Venom War: Wolverine #2 fell from the number 55 spot to the number 79 spot. This three-issue limited series is going to struggle to conclude in the Top 100.
Venom War: Deadpool #2 ticked down from the number 88 spot to the number 89 spot. This three-issue limited series had a brutal debut, but what was impressive is that there was no drop in sales for the second issue. This title might be able to conclude in the Top 100.
Venom War: Venomous #3 climbed from the number 132 spot to the number 94 spot. With this issue, this mini-series concludes. Erica Schultz delivered a sales failure with this mini-series.
Venom War: Lethal Protectors #2 climbed from the number 150 spot to the number 121 spot. This three-issue mini-series is a lock to conclude in the Dead Titles Walking category. Hollywood screenwriter Sabir Prizada continues to have no sales success with his comics.
Venom War: Carnage #3 ticked up from the number 132 spot to the number 122 spot. This three-issue mini-series is certainly going to finish in the Dead Titles Walking category.
Venom War: Fantastic Four #1 had a brutal debut coming in at the number 150 spot. Very few people were interested in checking out Adam Warren’s story in this title.
Venom War: Zombiotes #3 ticked up from the number 180 spot to the number 164 spot. This four-issue mini-series from Cavan Scott has been in the Dead Titles Walking category with each issue. That should remain the same for the final issue next month.
All of the Venom War tie-in mini-series have been epic sales failures. The biggest reason is the poor selection of writers that Marvel Comics rolled out for these titles.
Conquest 2099
93 Conquest 2099 #1
140 Conquest 2099 #2
Conquest 2099 had zero comics in the Top 50.
Conquest #1 had a brutal debut coming in at the number 93 spot. Conquest 2099 #2 then fell from the number 93 spot to the number 140 spot. This five-issue mini-series is dead on arrival. Steve Orlando failed to get anyone excited about this story. I had a feeling this would happen. Orlando never has any sales success and his stories can be too cringe-fueled at times. |

Venom war je trouve les commentaires un peu trop mauvais. Ca n est certes pas un succés mais ce tait pas non plus calibré pour etre dans le top 10 a mon avis. C est pas un event à l echelle de l editeur.. Mais bon c est aussi clair que ca na pas fonctionné. Pas de sursaut de ventes déjà pour venom.. les ties ins se sont pas vendus.. reste l a vente extra de la mini elle même mais bon ca reste un echec.
Bon hasbro a toujours une franchise qui fonctionne. Image doit se féliciter d avoir acceuilli Kirkman qui leur aura apporté du cash sur la longueur.
Ghost Machine n est pas à son niveau mais bin a celui de reussite aussi..

Hasbro Franchise
5 Transformers #13
25 Scarlett #5 (Of 5)
33 Destro #5 (Of 5)
37 Void Rivals #13
154 Transformers #12 (Resolicitation)
The Hasbro franchise had one comic in the Top 10, two comics in the Top 25, and four comics in the Top 50. This was better than September 2024, when the Hasbro franchise had zero comics in the Top 10, one comic in the Top 25, and three comics in the Top 50.
Transformers #13 ticked up from the number 11 spot to the number 5 spot. Thus ends Transformers’ one-month stint outside of the Top 10. We all knew that Transformers was going to get back into the Top 10 after sustaining that initial onslaught of new X-Men titles flooding the market.
Scarlett #5 ticked up from the number 26 spot to the number 25 spot. With this final issue, Scarlett managed to sneak back into the Top 25 for a solid final sales ranking for this mini-series. Image Comics seems to be able to do no wrong with their GI Joe mini-series so far.
Destro #5 ticked up from the number 37 spot to the number 33 spot. This brings this five-issue mini-series to a conclusion. Once again, Image Comics enjoyed another sales success with a GI Joe title. The GI Joe franchise does not show any signs of cooling off anytime soon.
Void Rivals #13 climbed from the number 67 spot to the number 37 spot. This was a great rebound for this title. We normally see Void Rivals in the 30-40 range in the sales rankings. So, normalcy has returned.
Spawn Franchise
81 Gunslinger Spawn #36
105 Spawn Scorched #34
112 Spawn Violator #2 (Of 6)
117 Spawn #358
141 Spawn Rat City #7
144 Spawn #357 (Resolicitation)
165 Spawn Sam and Twitch Case Files #7
174 King Spawn #38 (Resolicitation)
185 Spawn Kills Every Spawn #4 (Of 5)
The Spawn franchise had zero comics in the Top 50. This was the same as in September 2024, when the Spawn franchise had zero comics in the Top 50.
Gunslinger Spawn #36 shot up from the number 108 spot to the number 81 spot. This title returns to where we normally find this title in the sales rankings.
Spawn Scorched #34 rocketed from the number 165 spot to the number 105 spot. So close to getting back into the Top 100! Spawn Scorched remains my favorite Spawn title.
Spawn Violator #2 fell from the number 85 spot to the number 112 spot. This drop for this six-issue mini-series was expected given the poor debut number.
Spawn #358 shot up from the number 188 spot to the number 117 spot. This title is still selling lower than a few issues ago when it was at the number 70 spot.
Spawn Rat City #7 climbed from the number 192 spot to the number 141 spot. This title remains doomed to dwell in the Dead Titles Walking category.
Spawn Sam and Twitch Case Files #7 climbed from being unranked to the number 165 spot. This title continues to see zero sales success.
Spawn Kills Every Spawn #4 climbed from being unranked to the number 185 spot. This five-issue mini-series has been a total sales dud.
Ghost Machine Titles
50 Rook Exodus #6
51 Geiger #7
113 Redcoat #7
188 Redcoat #6 (Resolicitation)
Ghost Machine had one comic in the Top 50. This was the same as in September 2024, when Ghost Machine had one comic in the Top 50.
Rook Exodus #6 dipped from the number 45 spot to the number 50 spot. This title continues to clock in around the number 40-50 spot.
Geiger #7 climbed from the number 67 spot to the number 51 spot. This is about where we expect to see this title.
Redcoat #7 shot up from the number 142 spot to the number 113 spot. It will be interesting to see if this title can get back to the Top 100 where it had been prior to last month.
All in all, Geoff Johns should be quite happy with the sales success of his new imprint. Outside of the Hasbro license, the Ghost Machine titles are the best-selling comics from Image Comics. |

J ai pas les chiffres en tete mais j ai l impression qu Image est devenu plus un pole axé sur Kirkhman, Johns mais aussi Vaughan ou Brubaker que sur les fondateurs originels...

X-Men Franchise

130 Deadpool Team-Up #3
148 Wolverine: Revenge – Red Band #2 (Resolicitation)
153 X-Men #4 (Resolicitation)
182 Wolverine: Revenge #2 (Resolicitation)
186 Dazzler #1 (Resolicitation)
190 Ultimate X-Men #7 (Resolicitation)
191 Exceptional X-Men #1 (Resolicitation)
The X-Men franchise had two comics in the Top 10, four comics in the Top 25, and twelve comics in the Top 50. This was worse than in September 2024, when the X-Men franchise had five comics in the Top 10, ten comics in the Top 25, and thirteen comics in the Top 50.
Year-over-year numbers were up as the X-Men franchise had two comics in the Top 10, five comics in the Top 25, and eleven comics in the Top 50 in October 2023.
Numbers were up from two years ago as the X-Men franchise had zero comics in the Top 10, four comics in the Top 25, and six comics in the Top 50 in October 2022.
Let’s start with the team titles.
Uncanny X-Men #4 ticked up from the number 8 spot to the number 4 spot. This is so impressive. Uncanny X-Men continues to be the most valuable brand name in comics. I am convinced that Marvel Comics could hire one of my pugs to write Uncanny X-Men and the power of this brand would continue to generate Top 10 success.
X-Men #6 ticked up from the number 17 spot to the number 11 spot. Marvel Comics just missed out on placing two X-Men team titles in the Top 10. Insane.
Exceptional X-Men #2 fell from the number 4 spot to the number 13 spot. I fully expect to see this title continue to slide down the sales rankings.
X-Force #4 climbed from the number 51 spot to the number 32 spot. This is phenomenal. X-Force #1 debuted at the number 10 spot and then suffered a massive drop as X-Force #2 fell to the number 50 spot. However, X-Force #3 arrested that fall by taking the number 51 spot. And now we have X-Force #4 climbing back up in the rankings. This is very rare to see in a new comic.
Normally, once there is a big sales drop the title either slowly descends and finds its happy place in the rankings or the title continues to crash and burn in the sales rankings. But, to see a title suddenly stop its descent after just one issue and then begin climbing back up in the rankings with just the fourth issue. Wow. Very impressive indeed. Congrats to Geoffrey Thorne. Thorne might be on his way to his first sales success in comics.
Sentinels #1 had a pedestrian debut taking the number 39 spot. I am not confident that this five-issue limited series will have any sales success. Alex Paknadel is the writer and he has never had any sales success.
X-Factor #3 dipped from the number 41 spot to the number 43 spot. This is a positive sign that this title’s fall in the rankings slowed significantly this month. The next few months will be critical in determining the long-term success of this title.
NYX #4 dropped from the number 52 spot to the number 75 spot. No surprise here. I expect this Jackson Lanzig and Collin Kelly title to fall out of the Top 100 in the next few months.
Let’s hop over to the bad boys of the X-Men franchise.
Wolverine #2 ticked down from the number 1 spot to the number 6 spot. Things are looking wonderful for this new title.
Wolverine Revenge – Red Band #3 fell from the number 22 spot to the number 34 spot. This five-issue mini-series is doing well and has an excellent chance of concluding in the Top 50.
Wolverine: Revenge #3 fell from the number 57 spot to the number 66 spot. The Red Band version of this title is performing at a much higher rate.
Deadpool Team-Up #3 dropped from the number 127 spot to the number 130 spot. This five-issue mini-series continues to underperform.
Mystique #1 had a solid but not impressive debut taking the number 26 spot. Failing to make the Top 25 with the debut issue indicates that this five-issue mini-series will drop out of the Top 50 in the next month or two.
Phoenix #4 climbed from the number 59 spot to the number 44 spot. I am not expecting this title to remain in the Top 50 next month.
Dazzler #2 plummeted from the number 15 spot to the number 65 spot. Ouch. It looks like Jason Loo was unable to convince many readers to stick around for the second issue. Having said that, this four-issue mini-series has a chance of concluding in the Top 100.

Pour les titres mutants ca reste pas mal même si on sent certains titres comme NYX glisser vers la fin. Mais vu le nombre ca reste bien.
Pour avengers Cap remonte depuis 2 mois mais reste hors du top 100. Scarlet witch reveint au dessus et comme prévu Immortal Thor revoit le 16 classé certes en dehors du top 100 mais 2 mois de suite donc au dessus comme prévu. A voir son vrai classement avec le top de novembre.
Je vois que FF est dans le top 50 (36) ca reste bien pour ce titre qui n a pas toujours su se maintenir aussi haut.
Action Comics et Superman sont aussi dans le top 50 ce qui est aussi bien pour un personnage qui n a pas toujours pu y etre.
Pour les titres en danger je ne mets que marvel et DC car les autres editeurs n ont pas la regle du top 100

Based on historical numbers from the Comichron as well as projections through April 2022, titles outside of the Top 100 are usually selling under the 18,000 unit sales mark. These are the Marvel Comics and DC Comics titles that are dead titles walking.

Namor est un echec cuisant. Il est moins etonnant d y voir Blood Hunters qui part sans persos vendeurs et sans equipe creative un tant soit peu vendeuse
Chez DC la mode Harley Quinn est bien passée.. Constantine ne vend pas plus intégré à l univers DC qu avant.. mais je pense que les TP ne sont pas au même niveau. Peut etre que Vertigo étant de retour.
Jenny SParks ne fonctionne pas mais il me semble qu human target ou dangers street n etaient pas haut. Je suppose que King vend sur le marché du TP lui aussi en librairie classique (où on a pas de chiffres)
