Diamond Graphic Novels Chart - Near and Future Perennials

Last time I looked at 25 books which made Diamond's top 300 Graphic Novel chart every month of 2013.  This time the books which just missed that, making the chart 10 or 11 months of the year.  Sometimes this is because the books were first published during 2013, so obviously unavailable in the early months.  Sometimes books will be briefly out of print, when one printing sells out before the next is ready. Sometimes the books will just fall outside of the top 300 for a month.  The threshold to make the top 300 varies from month to month, going from as low as 327 to as high as 510, so it's easy enough to fall below a few times but still have substantial sales. There are twenty books from five publishers in this category.

Boom
ADVENTURE TIME TP VOL 02 - 14673 copies, 10/11 months (around 1470 per month)

Pretty much following in the footsteps of Volume 1, at a slightly reduced rate, I'd expect it to keep making the chart more often then not, but not every month, for the next little while, or until the bubble bursts.

Dark Horse
AVATAR LAST AIRBENDER TP VOL 01 PROMISE PART 1 - 6630 copies, 11/12 months (around 600 per month)

This line has been a pretty consistent seller for Dark Horse for two years now, and is even bigger in the mass-market.  Looks like they did well to pick up the series after the stench of the live action movie wore off.



DC
BATMAN TP VOL 01 THE COURT OF OWLS (N52) - 24273 copies, 10/10 months (around 2430 per month)
JUSTICE LEAGUE TP VOL 01 ORIGIN (N52) - 17300 copies, 11/12 months (around 1570 per month)
BATMAN THE LONG HALLOWEEN TP - 13246 copies, 10/12 months (around 1320 per month)
FABLES TP VOL 01 LEGENDS IN EXILE NEW ED - 10093 copies, 11/12 months (around 920 per month)
V FOR VENDETTA TP - 9144 copies, 11/12 months (around 830 per month)
WONDER WOMAN TP VOL 01 BLOOD (N52) - 8420 copies, 10/12 months (around 840 per month)
BATMAN EARTH ONE HC - 7385 copies, 10/12 months (around 740 per month)
KINGDOM COME TP NEW EDITION - 7059 copies, 10/12 months (around 710 per month)
BATMAN KNIGHTFALL TP NEW ED VOL 01 - 6709 copies, 11/12 months (around 610 per month)
V FOR VENDETTA BOOK AND MASK SET - 6478 copies, 10/12 months (around 650 per month)
JOKER HC - 6200 copies, 10/12 months (around 620 per month)

Mix of stuff from DC.  The top-line "New 52" stuff seems to be doing well in their paperback releases following successful hardcover editions.  A few long-time perennials like LONG HALLOWEEN and KINGDOM COME aren't going anywhere. If you combine the two versions of V FOR VENDETTA it remains one of DC's top books, and would probably easily make the list every month, but people gots to have their corporate rebel masks. Original hardcovers BATMAN EARTH ONE and JOKER have had good runs, but might be getting to the point where being replaced by cheaper softcovers would be a good idea.

Image
WALKING DEAD COMPENDIUM TP VOL 01 - 13777 copies, 11/12 months (around 1150 per month)
WALKING DEAD COMPENDIUM TP VOL 02 - 8840 copies, 10/12 months (around 880 per month)
WALKING DEAD TP VOL 10 WHAT WE BECOME - 8811 copies, 11/12 months (around 800 per month)

Surprisingly very little from Image in this range, which I guess means they do a pretty good job of keeping their most in-demand books available.  And those WALKING DEAD COMPENDIA are US$60 books, so for them to sell that consistently is remarkable on several levels.

Marvel
HAWKEYE TP VOL 01 MY LIFE AS WEAPON NOW - 24401 copies, 10/10 months (around 2440 per month)
AVENGERS VS X-MEN TP AVX - 13306 copies, 10/10 months (around 1330 per month)
DEADPOOL KILLS MARVEL UNIVERSE TP - 12228 copies, 11/12 months (around 1110 per month)
WOLVERINE OLD MAN LOGAN TP - 7470 copies, 11/12 months (around 680 per month)

Mostly recent releases (HAWKEYE v1 and AVX released in 2013, DEADPOOL KILLS MU in late 2012), we'll see if they have the legs to be true evergreens.  I'd bet on HAWKEYE and DEADPOOL over AVX.  Except for CIVIL WAR it doesn't seem Marvel crossovers have staying power. OLD MAN LOGAN has been selling steadily in this format since 2010, it seems to be what the market has embraced as the starter Wolverine book, even moreso than the 1980s mini-series which was partly adapted for the last movie.
