'American Vampire, Vol. 6' debuts at No. 2 on best-sellers list this week

Today is Tuesday, so that means it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s New York Times lists of best-selling graphic novels. According to those lists, the same two books are sitting atop the two major graphic novel lists this week.

“Fear Agent: Library Edition, Vol. 2” by Rick Remender, Tony Moore and others remained the No. 1 book on the Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list for the second week in a row.

“Saga, Vol. 3” by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples remained the top book on the Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list for the second straight week.

There were five books on this week’s Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They (and their places on the list) included  “American Vampire, Vol. 6” by Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque and others (2), “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs and Cassandra Jean (5), “Noah” by Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel and Niko Henrichon (7), “The Walking Dead, Book 1” by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard (8) and “The Joker: Death of the Family” by Scott Snyder and various (10).

There were three books on this week’s Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list last week. They included “The Harlem Hellfighters” by Max Brooks and Caanan White (4), “The Walking Dead, Vol. 18” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard (8) and “Smile” by Raina Telgemeier (10).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Tuesday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list. These lists are initially released each week on Sunday, and if you’re interested in reading them then, visit The New York Times’ Web site at www.nytimes.com. Below you’ll find both of this week’s best-seller lists.
