August 2022 NPD BookScan – Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels

The Sandman returned to the ranks of bestselling graphic novels in August, along with two landmark manga volumes on the chart of the Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels in the book channel, based on NPD BookScan data for August 2022 (7/31/22-8/27/22) provided to ICv2.

To be ready for the adaptation that dropped on Netflix on August 5, DC Comics released new jumbo softcover collections of The Sandman in April and May (see “Jumbo Softcover Collections of ‘The Sandman’“), and were rewarded in August as the first volume came in at #9 in the book channel after making the Superhero chart last month (see “July 2022 BookScan“).

VIZ Media released two landmark manga volumes in August.  One Piece has now reached the first-ever milestone of a 100th volume, a remarkable string of success; the volume placed at #2 in the book channel in August.  Based on what we saw at the summer shows, the property is getting a big push this year.

The much younger, but still venerable Bleach property was also in the top 10; VIZ Media’s 20th anniversary edition of Volume 1 placed at #6.
