Bleeding Cool’s Rich Johnston published a Wednesday-to-weekend bestseller chart on Saturday, September 5, 2026 (~6:22 a.m. CT) based on ComicHub point-of-sale data. Primary write-up: Batman #13 Smashes The Top 10 Wednesday-To-Weekend Bestsellers Chart. This is a mid-range shop POS sample — not a full-market Diamond chart, not a national ComicHub total, and not publisher order data.
The sample covers about 120–150 comic shops (Bleeding Cool says “over a hundred” / 120–150) out of roughly 1,800–2,000 direct-market shops worldwide. Those stores are typically mid-range. The window is Wednesday-to-Friday in-store sales — the “Wednesday Warriors” / Wednesday-to-weekend pocket — not publisher advance orders.
Index 100 is the baseline for the week’s top reported title. Other scores are percentages of that title’s sales in the sample — not unit counts and not dollar totals. In this report, Batman (2025-) #13 by Matt Fraction and Matteo Scalera ($4.99) sits at 100. New Comics Day for these books was Wednesday, September 2, 2026 — not September 3. DC’s product pages list Batman #13 and Absolute Superman #23 (Jason Aaron / Juan Ferreyra) among that week’s on-sales; Marvel’s Daredevil #6 (Stephanie Phillips / Flaviano) also lands in the Top 3.
Top 10 ratios from Bleeding Cool: (1) Batman #13 — 100; (2) Absolute Superman #23 — 74.6; (3) Daredevil #6 — 74.3; (4) Teen Titans #1 — 60.9; (5) Legion of Super-Heroes #1 — 60.9; (6) Doom Patrol #1 — 60.2; (7) Captain America #15 — 45.6; (8) Wade Wilson Deadpool #8 — 41.9; (9) Absolute Green Lantern #18 — 36.5; (10) Fantastic Four #16 — 34.2. Batman #13 leads Absolute Superman and Daredevil by roughly a third in this sample. The Top 10 split is DC 6 / Marvel 4. DC’s Next Level #1s (Teen Titans, Legion, Doom Patrol) cluster just behind Batman.
