A very interesting month, with trends clearly showing up, now that I've caught up on my to-read pile from certain titles. This month we've got all three Jason Aaron titles breaking the Top 10 (Wolvie, GR and Scalped - which should really be retroactively injected into every Top 10 list thus far), and Matt Fraction grabbing the top spot and #9-11. Lots of favourites (including last month's #1 Criminal) were pushed down just below #20 by the sheer enjoyment of this month's Marvel Adventures offerings. Good going!

The breakdown: Marvel (12), DC (3), Vertigo (2)
