• Fathom: Blue Descent snagged the 1 spot. This is an introductory issue to a new series starring a female superhero named Aspen Matthews, who controls water. The series was originally created by the late Michael Turner, but the new series will be written by Ale Garza. Fathom has always had beautiful visuals, and this new series looks to continue the trend.
• Simpsons Comics 166 was at 5 for the month. Not all fans of the show may know that there is in fact a comic, which provides new stories featuring these favorite characters. In issue 166, Homer decides to enter a bicycle race, despite having no clue how to win. Bart steps in to help, and chaos, of course, ensues.
• Wolfskin: Hundredth Dream 2 came in at 11. This is the sequel to a series originally published in 2006-2007 and written by renowned creator Warren Ellis. It should appeal to fans of both history and fantasy with its depiction of a violent but thoughtful savage warrior.
• Atomic Robo: Revenge of the Vampire Dimension 3 was in the 15^th spot. One of the lightest reads on the list, the main character is a robot created by Nikola Tesla who fights enemies ranging from Nazi scientists to vampires, as the name implies. The author, Brian Clevinger, also has a popular video-game webcomic, 8-Bit Theater.

And for something completely different:

• The Sarah Palin: Rogue Warrior comic at 24 presents the politician in a variety of action hero poses. You won’t see Palin like this anywhere else. All hail comics!
