TOP50 Best-Selling Single Issues in November 2025

Welcome to the November ’25 sales numbers for single issues!

These sales are counted up to December 10, which is when most pullboxes invoiced for the previous month have been paid off — and thus officially turned into sales. Also, the usual disclaimer: all variant covers of one particular issue are consolidated into one listing, which gives us (imho) a better understanding of the actual sales of a book.

Well… this is a very, very strange month.

Half of November’s DC books (which, as you know, are the lifeblood of our singles department) didn’t show up in time — and that includes heavy hitters like Absolute Batman #14 (finally arrived a few days ago) and Batman vs Deadpool (we’re still waiting). It is thus, for once, a rather Absolute-light month!

With all that said, it’s still by far our biggest month for singles sales, tripling our 2024 numbers and still more than double June ’25. Which is... bonkers. Our big Black Friday singles sale definitely played a large role here, because when I look at the Top 50, the numbers on the new releases look rather… weak-ish.

What’s not weak at all is DC’s Batman relaunch. This is also one of those rare months where the previous volume and the relaunch both had new issues, so you can directly compare them. Or rather not, because Fraction & Jimenez are playing in a whole different league. DC must be ecstatic about this stunt. So it’s only a matter of time until we see more shiny #1s. Catwoman and Nightwing would be ideal candidates — but only if they add great creative teams to back up the relaunch glow.

Marvel’s biggest sellers this month? Fantastic Four and Captain America — both solid B-list titles. But with both the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises struggling, and the Ultimate line fading out, Marvel better hurry up with that rumored Avengers relaunch...

And in case you're wondering how Ultimate Endgame #1 made the list: We offer bundles of the blind bag version, and since those are pre-orders through the webshop, they’re pre-paid, and therefore recorded as sales.
Interest in the blind bags has really picked up lately. Just two more weeks until release!

Meanwhile, Absolute Batman #14 & #15 are currently selling really well, and we have more graded #1s coming in from CGC... But how long will the Absolute express keep going full steam ahead? When will it start to put the brakes on? (N)ever?! Personally, I’m really excited for the upcoming Batman & Wonder Woman crossover.

And with the Vertigo relaunch just around the corner, I’m staying very bullish on DC. :)
