June 2018 was a good month for DC Entertainment, with the publisher taking top spot in both the direct comic book and graphic novels sales charts from Diamond Comic Distributors.
Leading the way in the comic book chart was Scott Snyder and Jim Cheung’s Justice League #1, while the Dark Nights: Metal Deluxe Edition hardcover was June’s best-selling graphic novel.
Despite these successes, DC still remains in second place behind Marvel however in terms of both dollar and unit share.
