Looking through the May Comics Bestsellers at Publishers Weekly, I’m kind of surprised to see that Marvel’s Secret Invasion #1 didn’t even make the honorable mentions that follow the list proper. A look back at the lists for the year so far reveals that only one pamphlet has even gotten the “Take Note” mention, an issue of the Buffy comic.
I’m sure the comic will rank highly on ICv2’s comics list for the month when it comes out, and the eventual collection will fare at least as well as those for Marvel’s Civil War event did. And really, since there are no concrete details on what kind of and how many retail outlets are sampled to compile the list, it’s just a curiosity.
