Way to go AoT and Naruto. AoT is likely among the most popular Japanese manga here that isn't the long-running manga series like Bleach, One Piece, or Naruto.

Something worth mentioning for the whitewashers according to the source ICv2 article:

  • As was the case in the comics channel last month (see "Top 300 Graphic Novels Actual--October 2014"), a title featuring a female Muslim superhero is #1 of the "Top 20 Adult Fiction Graphic Novels" sold in the book channel in November

^That's pretty cool! See, American comic book publishers? Minorities and women can lead your books and sell!

Glad that AoT is doing well. I wonder how Vertical's AoT light novels are doing, since obviously, it wouldn't make a graphic novel list.

Ms. Marvel is a damn fun book. Everyone should read that first trade that introduces Kamala Khan.

The PBS Idea Channel covered the comic earlier this year. Give that a look:

Congratulations on Attack on Titan for reaching the No. 2 slot. Smile

In the case of Ms. Marvel, seeing it being No. 1 on the graphics novel ranking is absolutely a cause for celebration. It's quite a positive step for the American comic industry.
