New volumes in popular franchises, including the Energon Universe, Solo Leveling, and Dadandan made the charts of the top 20 best-selling Author, Manga, and Superhero graphic novels according to Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan data for October 2024 (11/3/24 – 11/30/24) provided to ICv2.
The second volume of Daniel Warren Johnson’s Transformers is at number 2 on the Superhero chart, which is impressive as it was published on November 26, so had relatively few sales days for this chart. The first volume is at number 10, and another Energon Universe title, Scarlett, is at number 20. All three are from Image Comics’ Skybound imprint.
Perennial best-seller Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is back on top of the Superhero Top 20, after being displaced for two months in a row by the manga-style adaptation of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Four of DC Comics Compact Comics titles are in the top 20, and for the second month in a row, the older edition of Watchmen is not, so it looks like the Compact Comics are supplanting it, at least in the book channel.
The anthology Joker: The World (see “Geoff Johns, Satoshi Miyagawa Take Joker International“) is at number 14.

The Author chart is looking a little monotonous, with nine volumes of Solo Leveling and three of Lore Olympus taking up nearly half the chart. The only other manhwa title is Vol. 1 of Under the Oak Tree, returning for the third month in a row.
MrBallen Presents charts for the third time, again with the hardcover ahead of the paperback.
Aside from Vol. 10 of Solo Leveling, the only new release in the Top 20 is Vol. 8 of Something Is Killing the Children.
A September release, Patrick McDonnell’s The Super Hero’s Journey, appears at number 8 (see “Abrams’ MarvelArts to Publish ‘The Super Hero’s Journey’“). This is McDonnell’s second appearance in the Top 20 in three months, as his Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story was in the Top 20 in September (see “September 2024 Circana BookScan“).

The Manga Top 20 looks a lot like this month’s Adult Top 20 (see “November 2024 Circana BookScan“), with just three additional titles, but one of those is Vol. 9 of Dadandan, making five volumes of that series, which is benefiting from a recently released anime, on the chart.
