In fact, House Of Slaughter #1 surpassed King Spawn #1 at comic book stores.

Slaughterhouse house #Once. Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported the Diamond Comic Distributors chart for 2021, which lists the top ten comics and graphic novels sold in the direct market through Diamond in 2021. Which meant that DC Comics would only be represented by its Diamond UK sales, if at all. And that Marvel saw much of its sales cut in October when they switched to Penguin Random House.

But Bleeding Cool leaked information ahead of the full numbers reveal next week, which includes the index link figure, which shows how each comic sold compared to the other. And also lists titles that had variant covers at different prices, separately, like the foil covers that House Of Slaughter and BRZRKR got for an extra dollar. And when you combine those sales, you get the same top four but in a different order.

517.18 AUG210932-M – AUG210934-M HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER #1
517.06 JUN210027-M APPEARANCE OF THE KING #1
500.8 AUG200959-M – DEC208555-M BRZRKR (BERZERKER) #1 (MR)
365.6 AUG210013-M APPEARANCE OF GUN #1

Which sees Boom Studios take first and third place rather than second and fourth. That doesn’t stop Image Comics from dominating the top ten graphic novels and collections, with The Departmentr Of Truth, Stray Dogs, Invincible and more dominating.
