2022 Comics Reorders
Comics and Graphic Novels Reordered by North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
After items have been released by Diamond, retailers continue to place and receive reorders — often for many years after the the publication date. This page archives the weekly reorder charts Diamond released during the year. Click to see the archived advance reorders, which are for books that had not yet shipped at time of the order.
Note that the listings mix hardcovers, softcovers, and comics together, and that they also rank items by dollars rather than units. Note, too, that these are invoiced dollars, so retailers' discounts have already been applied.
Reorders placed between Dec. 27, 2021-Jan. 2, 2022
• Top reordered January-shipping comic book:
Inferno #4 (Marvel)
• Top reordered softcover graphic novel:
Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba Stories Water & Flame (Viz)
Like the earlier charts since the ransomware attack on Diamond's in November, the reorder chart appeared without an advance-reorder chart companion — and was again unusual in that every item on the list came out after the reorder period being reported. It's unclear what kind of orders specifically this list is reporting; it's possible it might be some kind of bestseller list (by dollars) just for January 5.
Reorders placed between Jan. 3-9, 2022

Saga Compendium YPB Vol. 1 (Image)

Saga Dlx Ed. HC Vol. 1 (Image)
After many weeks in which Diamond was unable to release a traditional reorder list die to the ransomware attack it suffered in November 2021, the company returned with a normal reorder list for the first full week of January. It was, as reorder charts normally are, laden with graphic novels, since the charts are measured by dollar sales; indeed, no comic books made the list at all. Saga graphic novels, in conjunction with the resumption of the comics series, led the chart.
Reorders placed between Jan. 10-16, 2022
• Top reordered softcover graphic novel:
Invincible Compendium Vol. 1 (Image)

Hellsing Deluxe Edition HC (Dark Horse)
The second normal reorder chart released by Diamond after it recovered from its November ransomware attack was again all graphic novels, and was led by a title familiar to previous lists: Invincible Compendium Vol. 1, which had the top spot for much of 2021.

The third normal reorder chart released by Diamond after it recovered from its November ransomware attack was again all graphic novels, and for the second week in a row it was led by a title familiar to previous lists: Invincible Compendium Vol. 1, which had the top spot for much of 2021.

Maus: A Survivor's Tale Complete HC (Pantheon)
Following the controversy surrounding its removal from a school district's eighth-grade curriculum in eastern Tennessee, Maus: A Survivor's Tale, which first entered Diamond's Star System in 1996, was the item most reordered by comics retailers (in dollar terms) for the first week in February. Saga, back from its hiatus, was the top reordered single-issue comic book.
Reorder charts will be released weekly during the month. Stay tuned!
The true top sellers for the month will replace this page once they are released by Diamond.
