The latest volume of the reliably best-selling The Walking Dead topped the Adult Graphic Novels chart based on NPD BookScan data for March (2/26/18 – 4/1/2018) provided to ICv2, but the biggest new title was from Instagram star Mari Andrew (770,000 followers). Her Am I There Yet? The Loop-de-Loop, Zigzagging Journey to Adulthood HC was a close second in its first month of release.Old media, movies to be precise, also made its presence felt on March graphic novel sales in the book channel. Three Black Panther volumes were once again in the Top 20, and the classic Jim Starlin material in Infinity Gauntlet is back on the charts in the run-up to Avengers: Infinity War this month.Those four volumes (three Black Panther and Infinity Gauntlet) made up Marvel’s entire presence in the Top 10, but that was still a stronger month in the Top 20 than DC Comics, which had the new Green Lantern: Earth One HC at #14.For charts of March graphic novel sales from NPD BookScan:For the charts with the actual sales numbers from NPD BookScan, see these articles on the ICv2 Pro site:
