Comic Book sales rankings for 2025 are out, and it’s rough news for Marvel Comics.
According to data released by ICv2, Marvel only placed 8 titles in the Top 50 Best-Selling Comics of 2025, with the highest-ranking pure Marvel title — Ultimate Wolverine #1 — not showing up until #22.
That’s nearly two dozen spots below the #1 title, Deadpool/Batman #1, which was a DC/Marvel crossover.
Also notable: Amazing Spider-Man #1 — Marvel’s flagship title — didn’t hit until #25.
Meanwhile, DC Comics dominated, claiming nearly every spot in the Top 20 with Batman titles, Absolute Editions, and high-profile one-shots like DC K.O. and Martian Manhunter #1.
The Batman brand alone accounted for over a dozen spots in the Top 20.
It’s a stark contrast that reflects where fan interest — and dollars — went in 2025. For Marvel, the numbers paint a clear picture: DC won the year.
Here is the top 20:
- Deadpool / Batman #1
