HELLBOY TP VOL 02 WAKE THE DEVIL (DAR) : 998 books
HELLBOY TP VOL 07 THE TROLL WITCH & OTHERS (DAR) : 444 books
HELLBOY TP VOL 11 MASKS AND MONSTERS (DAR) : 450 books
HELLBOY TP VOL 12 THE STORM AND THE FURY (DAR) : 470 books
The whole HELLBOY series seems to generally sell well but under the radar of the Top 300, though the first book makes the list every few months, and by estimates of Diamond's year-end figures sells 3-4000 copies in the direct market every year. It looks like there was a concerted effort to bring all the volumes back into print in time for the 20th anniversary of the character, which could explain the unusual presence of five scattered volumes.
BATMAN MAD LOVE AND OTHER STORIES TP (DC) : 1141 books
FABLES TP VOL 03 STORYBOOK LOVE (DC) : 442 books
FABLES TP VOL 19 SNOW WHITE (DC) : 445 books
FABLES DELUXE EDITION HC VOL 01 (DC) : 483 books
PLANETARY OMNIBUS HC (DC) : 557 books
PREACHER TP BOOK 01 (DC) : 757 books
MAD LOVE has been around for a while, selling steadily but mostly outside the Top 300. The big surge here is probably due to the new HARLEY QUINN series getting some attention on the character. FABLES VOL 03 pops up occasionally, not quite as often as the first two books. FABLES VOL 19 is the latest one, and those tend to show up for a few months before falling below the Top 300 threshold. It looks like the FABLES DELUXE VOL 01 was out of print for a bit, so that's catching up to some accumulated demand. PLANETARY OMNIBUS came out in January, so this will probably be the last time it makes the list, though it's already sold very well for a $75 book. PREACHER has been getting some attention from the movement on a TV show, which would explain why the first book has been selling especially well lately, though the series has been a decent seller in one form or another since it began. If the TV show actually happens the whole series will become a fixture on the chart for a while.
CAPTAIN AMERICA WINTER SOLDIER ULTIMATE COLLECTION TP (MAR) : 599 books
DEADPOOL KILLS DEADPOOL TP (MAR) : 600 books
DEADPOOL TP VOL 03 GOOD BAD AND UGLY NOW (MAR) : 580 books
SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN TP VOL 04 NECESSARY EVIL (MAR) : 656 books
ULTIMATES 3 TP WHO KILLED SCARLET WITCH (MAR) : 634 books
Pretty obvious why that particular CAPTAIN AMERICA book has been selling well lately, and will probably stop selling as well soon. The previous books in the DEADPOOL KILLS, plain DEADPOOL and SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN lines have all been steady sellers, so I expect these ones to continue appearing for a while. The ULTIMATES 3 book just got a new printing, so probably won't be a regular on the list.
ATTACK ON TITAN GN VOL 01 (RAN) : 821 books
ATTACK ON TITAN GN VOL 02 (RAN) : 614 books
ATTACK ON TITAN GN VOL 03 (RAN) : 462 books
ATTACK ON TITAN was slow to catch on, but has been consistently charting for the last few months, here and on the BookScan reports of the mass-market. I'd expect at least the early books to keep showing up on a regular basis, especially once the anime is released in English.
JOHNNY HOMICIDAL MANIAC DIRECTORS CUT SC (SLA) : 627 books
SQUEE TP (SLA) : 482 books
These two have been steady sellers for years, mostly under the Top 300 threshold. They were both relisted in the January Previews so probably picked up some extra orders from that.
NEMO HEART OF ICE HC (TOP) : 607 books
A slight surge in sales as the second volume ROSES OF BERLIN is coming in March (out now), so the first got a catalog listing in January. it'll probably make the chart a few more times this year, and again when the third book comes out.
