Batman dominated the month of November, with historic crossover Batman / Deadpool #1 taking the top spot.
The caped crusader has got a monopoly over the world of comics in recent months. From Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s top-tier Absolute Batman run, to the all-new series from Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez, to DC K.O., there’s so much to love. When we look at the top 10 best-selling comics (by unit) of November 2025, it’s almost a clean sweep for DC. For Marvel, Joe Kelly and Emilio Laiso’s Amazing Spider-Man #15 comes in ninth place. No indie comics make the top 10; it’s surprising not to see Robert Kirkman’s Transformers #26 hit the list after issue #25 ranked fifth for October. The two titan publisher’s share top spot with Batman/Deadpool #1.
Check out the full top 10 for yourself, as first revealed by ICv2. The 10 are ranked based on sales rankings from comic store POS data:
- Batman / Deadpool #1
- Batman #3
- Absolute Batman #14
- DC K.O. Knightfight #1
- DC K.O. #2
- Batman #162 (Batman Hush 2 #5)
- Absolute Superman #13
- Absolute Batman Annual #1
- Amazing Spider-Man #15
- Absolute Wonder Woman #14
It’s unsurprising to see Batman/Deadpool #1 at the summit. 2025 has been a massive year for Marvel and DC crossovers. Deadpool / Batman #1 was the best-selling comic book of September. It was expected to see it at the top again for December.
Written by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora, Batman/Deadpool #1 sees the Dark Knight and the Merc with a Mouth team up for an adventure over-the-top mind-bending. It also features some stellar backup stories: Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Joshua Williamson team up with Hayden Sherman for Constantine/Doctor Strange. Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo offer Nightwing/Dick Grayson and Laura Kinney/Wolverine! Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner tackle Harley Quinn and the Hulk. G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan cover Static and Ms. Marvel!
Now we’re into December, there’s no doubt that Absolute Batman #15 will rank high. The issue introduces the Joker into the fold, and according to reports, the comic has hit an incredible number of orders surpassing 300,000.
