USA Today covers 2008′s comics and graphic novels in, Comic books sold well in 2008; graphic novels did, too. Below is a comparison of our top sellers with the data collected by Diamond Comic Distributors. Something I didn’t notice last week is that of those listed in the top selling comic books, eight out of ten were $3.99. All of the Diamond Comics list comics were $3.99. I’m not sure what that means, I just thought I’d point it out since many of you have expressed concern with an inevitable price hike in the future.
