October 2022 NPD BookScan – Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels

The new collection of webtoon Lore Olympus was the top title on the October chart of the Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels in the book channel, based on NPD BookScan data for October 2022 (10/2/22-10/29/22) provided to ICv2.  It topped the latest volume of My Hero Academia, also released in October.

Lore Olympus Vol. Three appears twice in the Top 20, as it was released in both hardcover and trade paperback formats; the hardcover sold better.  The #1 slot has become a regular appearance for new volumes of Lore Olympus; the first two volumes topped the chart in November 2021 (see “November 2021 NPD BookScan“) and July 2022 (see “July 2022 NPD BookScan“).  Surprisingly, the earlier volumes did not make the Top 20, as was the case when Volume Two was released.

One other webtoon collection, Solo Leveling Vol. 5, made the Top 20; otherwise, it was all manga, and mostly VIZ Media, down to #20, where the new Saga collection from Image Comics appeared.
