Latest 'Batman' Series Top-Selling Comic of 2025 So Far
The world of Batman comics is abuzz with excitement as the latest issue of the ongoing series, written by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez, has sold out with physical distributors. This marks the fourth renumbering for the superhero in his 84-year history, and it seems the Dark Knight's appeal remains as strong as ever.
The current run, which began in 2022 following Joshua Williamson, has been met with a thunderous, immediate embrace from readers. Matt Fraction's take on the Caped Crusader has been particularly well-received, with his run receiving a warm welcome at Portland's Rose City Comic Convention.
However, the future of the series is shrouded in mystery, as the author succeeding Fraction and Jiménez for the next Batman comic has not been specified in the available search results.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to a second printing of the latest issue, set to launch in October. This comes on the heels of the success of Batman #158, part of the ongoing Hush sequel written by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, which sold over 400,000 copies.
The comic book series Batman has been a consistent top-seller, with the latest issue joining the ranks of the series' other successful issues. In fact, the Absolute line, which includes Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Absolute Batman, has sold "well into the millions of copies." The first issue of Snyder and Dragotta's Absolute Batman sold over 200,000 copies and is now on its ninth printing.
Interestingly, all three writers, including Matt Fraction, have had Jorge Jiménez on primary art duty during their individual runs on Batman. Jiménez's artistic contributions have undoubtedly played a significant role in the series' success.
As for other comic book series, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1, written by Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley, has also sold over 400,000 copies.
In terms of renumberings, the last two for Batman were in 2011 (Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo for the "New 52") and 2016 (Tom King and David Finch for "Rebirth").
Snyder and Dragotta's Absolute Batman offers a fresh take on the character, with a younger, beefier Batman who works as an engineer and whose mother is still alive. This unique portrayal of the Dark Knight continues to captivate readers and fuel the series' success.
In conclusion, the Batman comic series remains a powerhouse in the world of comics, with its latest issue selling out and the series consistently ranking as the top-selling comic of the year. Fans eagerly await news of who will take over the series next, but until then, they can look forward to a second printing of the latest issue in October.
