According to the latest Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan data for the period of October 2024 (10/6/24 – 11/2/24), the list of the Top 20 best-selling Adult graphic novels features several exciting new titles that are captivating readers.
One of the standout newcomers is positioned at number 3: the first volume of Destroy All Humans. They Can’t Be Regenerated. A Magic: The Gathering Manga. This intriguing title not only boasts an impressively long name, but it also represents a limited edition first printing, complete with a unique Magic card tucked inside. While BOOM! Studios has previously ventured into the realm of Magic comics (as detailed in “More ‘Magic’ From BOOM! “), this marks the debut of Magic in manga form, showcasing a significant extension of the franchise’s storytelling universe.
Another fresh entry into the Top 20 is Vol. 1 of The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All, which presents a clever twist on a common narrative trope with a striking and unusual visual style: the manga is printed in a captivating combination of black and a vibrant acid green. This title garnered considerable attention and buzz during recent discussions at the New York Comic Con, indicating its potential to engage a broad audience.
At number 19, readers can find Gou Tanabe’s visually arresting manga adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu, a significant milestone as this is the first of Tanabe’s Lovecraft adaptations to successfully break into the Top 20, bringing Lovecraft’s chilling narratives to a new generation of fans.
Two titles from early October that also appeared on the September chart continue to maintain their momentum: MrBallen Presents and Vol. 7 of Lore Olympus. They are back on the chart for a notable second month; in both instances, the hardcover editions have secured spots in the Top 20, while their paperback counterparts have not, highlighting the preference for premium formats among today’s readers.
For the second consecutive month, a total of seven hardcovers are represented in the Top 20, underscoring a strong trend towards collectors and connoisseurs seeking high-quality, durable editions of their favorite graphic novels.
