2005 DM Graphic Novel Sales Chart
According to the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com, Diamond has released its list of top-selling graphic novels for the entire year 2005. It kind of heavily reinforces what conventional wisdom you could glean from the monthly lists: DC and Dark Horse do really well in the direct market in this area while Marvel not as much; Robert Kirkman may be Image's outright trade paperback star right now, manga has a presence but only certain kind of manga and only a certain level of success.
