Graphic Books Best Sellers: A New Superhero Power Couple

At the top of our hardcover graphic books best-seller list this week is volume two of “Justice League,” the latest collection featuring the top heroes of DC Comics. In these stories, the heroes confront a new villain and readers get a glimpse into a new power couple, whose relationship will have repercussions for everyone. Volume one of the series hits our paperback list at No. 7.

“7 Miles a Second,” an autobiographical tale by David Wojnarowicz, is at No. 5. It chronicles his life as a young hustler on the streets of New York City. The book is published by Fantagraphics. At No. 8, from Image Comics, is “One Trick Rip-Off / Deep Cuts,” by Paul Ppe, which is about young lovers trying to make better lives for themselves â€" though that begins with trying to rip off the One Tricks, a street gang in Los Angeles. This edition, published by Image Comics, includes a section of previously unpublished work by Mr. Pope, and a manga story originally available only in Japan.

As always, the complete best-seller lists can be found here, along with an explanation of how they were assembled.
