Sono stati diffusi i dati dei fumetti più venduti negli Stati Uniti nel mese d’aprile da parte di Diamond Comic Distributors. Marvel risulta essere la casa che ha generato più incassi grazie sopratutto ad alcuni rilanci e all’evento Secret Empire.
Il fumetto più venduto è Secret Empire 0, il numero introduttivo a quello che sarà uno dei più grandi eventi per Marvel (e che vedremo in autunno anche in Italia). Al secondo posto invece Batman #21 The Button, una proposta DC che intende unire Flashpoint con l’attuale universo DC, mettendoci qualche indizio riguardo Watchmen. Al terzo e quarto posto invece X-Men: Gold e Blue, due nuovi rilanci che vedremo nel periodo autunnale in Italia.
Tra i graphic novel più venduti invece c’è BATMAN VOLUME 2: I AM SUICIDE TP al primo posto, seguito da Hellboy e dal settimo volume di SAGA (che in Italia potete trovare sotto l’etichetta BAO Publishing).
