Angel: After the Fall beats out Watchmen - Twice!
It's a good day to be a vampire! IDW's Angel: After the Fall
Volume 1 and Volume 3 captured two of the New York
Times Graphic Books Best Seller List (hardcover) top three spots,
knocking Watchmen down to fourth place.
"Even without a current TV show, Angel has remained a fan-favorite
character," says IDW's Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Chris Ryall.
"Writer Brian Lynch, working with Angel creator Joss Whedon, has
really delivered an epic story that picked up from the amazing
cliffhanger of the show's finale. It's great to see that fans like
what we're doing."
On its second printing and with direction from Whedon, Angel: After the Fall Volume 1 picks up number three on the Best Sellers List. Volume 1 begins where the TV series left off and chronicles Angel, Spike and the rest of the cast who survived the final episode. Angel: After the Fall Volume 3, number two on the Best Sellers List, advances the plot and puts long-time friends-turned-enemies on a collision course.
Capping off a great week for IDW, Transformers: Beast
Wars Omnibus makes a strong showing at number three for the
Graphic Books Best Seller List (paperback), featuring the ultimate
fan guide for some of the most revered characters in the
Transformers Universe.
"Beast Wars Omnibus goes beyond the Beast Wars story to
offer insights into the characters," Ryall said. "With the
inclusion of two reprinted stories, Omnibus gives fans a
really in-depth look at the Wars, and we're gratified to see them
enjoying the book."
