Amazon’s Top Comics 2025: DC Beats Marvel

Amazon’s 2025 best-sellers reveal DC commanding the year’s comic rankings, edging Marvel across multiple lists. The data, drawn from Amazon’s live sales charts for graphic novels, trade paperbacks, and digital editions, shows more DC titles in top positions and stronger momentum for evergreen series. Analysts point to breakout runs, curated collections, movie and TV tie-ins, and competitive pricing as forces behind DC’s surge. Marvel remains a powerful competitor but trails in this snapshot, reflecting different release cadences and backlist performance. Because Amazon blends physical and digital marketplaces, the rankings capture mainstream demand rather than comic shop preorders alone. The shift is closely watched by retailers and fans, as it signals what new readers actually purchase. While month-to-month standings can change, the 2025 trend underscores DC’s wider reach with Batman, Superman, and acclaimed imprints. Observers will watch whether Marvel rebounds with upcoming events and omnibuses in the second half of 2025.
