The third quarter held good news for the comics industry, with September’s five-week month boosting overall retailer orders of comic books, trade paperbacks, and magazines into positive territory for 2009.

Direct-market retailers ordered about $6 million more worth of comics, trade paperbacks, and magazines from Diamond Comic Distributors than in the previous September, putting the overall market ahead by about $3 million overall. There was resilience in unit sales within the top-selling comic books list: The Top 300 was back over 7 million copies, a 4% increase over the same month last year and a 12% increase in dollar terms.

It was a static month at the very top of the list: Blackest Night #3 was the top seller, the series repeating in the top spot. The order of the next three was also identical to August 2009, with the September issues of Captain America: Reborn,Batman and Robin, and Green Lantern reprising their rankings from the month before. The $4.99 Wolverine Giant-Size issue was the top debut, at fifth place.

September 2009 Graphic Novel Sales to Comics Shops

Estimated Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks Shipped to North American Comics Shops Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors

This list includes all items on Diamond's Top 300 Graphic Novel charts, plus any post-#300 items from its Top Independent and Manga charts. If you don't see a book, Diamond released no data for it.

The links lead to title details on Amazon (paid links). You can also find the books at yourcomics shop.

Trade paperbacks remained just slightly off within the Top 100, but the industry was ahead for the year once the Top 300 comic books were added to the total. The trade paperback list was led by the fifth Buffy Season Eight trade.
