For the first time in many months, Marvel Comics outweigh DC titles in the top 10 best-seller list for April 2026. Once again, the Spider-Man/Superman collaboration takes top spot.
Throughout every month of 2025, DC dominated sales rankings, with Marvel in solid second place. Image Comics broke into the Top 10s a few times as well, notably forInvincible Universe Battle Beast. So far in 2026, DC has continued to dominate, but April has saw new Marvel launches project the publisher to the pinnacle.
Between the debuts of Daredevil #1 and Web of Venom #1, it was a very solid month at Marvel. But of course, Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s Absolute Batman continues to power through with unprecedented numbers. It’s also notable to see Transformers #31 sneak in at 10th place, marking the first time that an Image title has appeared in the month-on-month top 10 lists this year.
At the #1 spot is the Marvel-DC crossover Spider-Man/Superman #1. Interestingly, the previous DC side of the crossover, Superman/Spider-Man #1, retains its position in the top 10 at third place.
