Marvel's dominance of the Top 25 increased, with 21 titles versus 18 of the Top 25 last month. DC Comics had three books in the top 25 while Dreamwave had one. November's lone Top 25 debut, Wolverine: The End #1, debuted at #3, a testament to the strength of the property. Although DC's Teen Titans was down versus its October total, it came in above its September total as did JLA.



Marvel's dominance did not extend to the Top 25 graphic novels, where DC led the pack with 12 books, including Alex Ross's oversized JLA Liberty & Justice, which sold an amazing 41,201 -- four times as many copies as its nearest competitor, Image's Vampires Christmas. Dark Horse had four graphic novels in the Top 25 as did Marvel. Image had two while Tokyopop and Viz each had one.
