Amazon Top 50 - May 29, 2026

Legend:

* = pre-order item
$ = digital edition was part of a deeply discounted Kindle sale this week
% = Digital edition was available via Kindle Unlimited, FreeTime Unlimited, comiXology Unlimited, or Prime Reading
N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary:

The first volume of the Dungeon Crawler Carl comic adaption stays on top this week.
The top debut is the latest volume of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Also debuting this week are several older volumes of Witch Hat Atelier which had not previously charted in the top fifty.
We are now pretty darn certain that, in addition to combining hardcover and softcover editions for the purposes of chart position, Amazon is now also including the digital editions as well. As a result, we are henceforth implementing the following changes to how the chart is compiled and presented:

We will be listing and linking to a print edition of each item—even if it is the Kindle edition that appears on the chart—unless the book is only available digitally.
We are no longer excluding Kindle Unlimited, FreeTime Unlimited, comiXology Unlimited, & Prime Reading items, but instead will note those for which the digital edition is available under those plans (as per the revised legend).

Two other print debuts this week: X-Men: Blue & Gold - Mutant Genesis Omnibus (which came out last September but is in the top fifty for the first time this week); and the second Absolute Wonder Woman collection (which comes out next week).
A big week for Jujutsu Kaisen, as fifteen different volumes are in the top fifty, this week, most of which show large gains from the previous week. Most likely this is driven by the debut last month of season three of the anime, as well as the eminent release of volume 29 of the manga.

Top Comic Book Movies of 2025

2026-01-04T10:01:00.003-05:00

Here are the grosses of comic book-related movies released in 2025—ranked by domestic (U.S.) box office—according to Box Office Mojo:

Superman: $354M ($617M)
The Fantastic Four: First Steps: $274M ($522M)
Captain America: Brave New World: $201M ($415M)
Thunderbolts*: $190M ($382M)
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle: $134M ($721M)
Dog Man: $98M ($146M)
Mickey 17: $46M ($133M)
Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc: $43M ($158M)
Smurfs: $31M ($124M)
Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye: $5.6M ($6.9M)
Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death - The Movie: $3.2M ($9.4M)
Attack on Titan the Movie: The Last Attack: $2.9M ($18.5M)
Witch Watch: Watch Party: ??? (???)

Once again we've put the worldwide box office figures in parentheses, where you can see that many (most?) movies now do the bulk of their business overseas.

It was an... okay year for comic book movies. James Gunn's Superman was well received, drawing mostly good reviews and decent box office (though only half of last year's top comic book movie, Deadpool & Wolverine). Marvel released three films, all of which failed to reach the box office highs of many previous MCU films though none were outright duds.

Kid-aimed fare Dog Man and Smurfs didn't light up the charts, though Smurfs, while tanking domestically, did much better overseas.

This year's biggest surprise was Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle, which was the top comic book movie worldwide and did boffo domestically, especially for an R-rated animated movie. (For comparison, last year's Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – To the Hashira Training did just $18M domestically.) Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc (also R-rated) also pulled in a very respectable domestic take; and while other anime releases didn't make much noise (with Witch Watch: Watch Party—a compilation of the first episodes of the series—not even having box office figure reported), any U.S. ticket sales are really just extra icing.

M.I.A. this year were Red Sonja—which ended up being released direct to streaming—and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: The Last Ronin, which has reportedly been halted as the studio has decided against releasing an adult-focused movie for what has traditionally been kid's fare at the theater.

Movies scheduled for release in 2026 include: Lupin the IIIrd: The Movie – The Immortal Bloodline (Jan); Fruits Basket - prelude- (Feb); 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank (Apr); Supergirl (Jun); Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Jul); Clayface (Sep); Avengers: Doomsday (Dec); Rogue Trooper (TBA); The Dangers in My Heart (TBA).

Commentary:

It's the first Amazon Friday comics chart of 2026! Which encompasses the last several days of 2025, when people are realizing in greater numbers that their 2025 calendars are nearly depleted. So not only does the ever-popular Far Side desk calendar slide into the top spot this week, but several other comics calendars move up the chart, return to the chart, or debut on the chart this week. Debut calendars include the Non Sequitur desk calendar; the Strange Planet desk calendar; and the Garfield wall and desk calendars.
The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of the first issue of Ultimate Endgame, signalling the start of the wrap-up of the popular Marvel line.
Print debuts this week include the second Vagabond Definitive Edition volume; and pre-orders for forthcoming volumes of Absolute Batman and Solo Leveling.

Happy New Year!
