It is hard to imagine the
number one book in
February (according to
Diamond sales) isn't a
superhero comic or a book
from Marvel and DC. In
fact, Batman was 5th on the list and
Spider-Man was at
number 6. So what was
number one? A small
hint... it wasn't a STAR
WARS book either,
DARTH VADER # 1 came
in at the second spot!
From our friends at IDW came the number one comic in February, ORPHAN BLACK! Based on the hit BBC series, the first issue sold almost 500,000 copies; outselling high profile debuts of SILK and SPIDER-GWEN!
Written by Jody Houser and show-runners John Fawcett and
Graeme Manson and visually brought to life by the amazing
Szymon Kudranski, the book obviously resonated with not only fans of the show but comic collectors as well.
Congrats to everyone at IDW for hitting the top spot and pats on the back for selling better (at least this month) than the Dark Knight, the Dark Lord and a kid who knows great responsibility!
