This time last year, the Obama inaugural issue of Amazing Spider-Man<\/b><\/i> was doing something likely unprecedented<\/b><\/a> for a single issue of a comic book by repeating in the top slot, two months in a row. That didn’t happen this time out, but we did have another repeat of sorts: DC’s Blackest Night<\/b><\/i>, after a month with no new issue on the racks, retook the top position in February. Click to see the Top 10 comics for February 2010<\/b><\/a>, released today by Diamond.<\/p>\n

Every issue of the DC series has ranked #1 in comics shops for the month in which it was released. It’s not the first time a series has had every issue top the charts with a one-month hiatus in the middle: as we can see here<\/b><\/a>, the first seven issues of Secret Invasion<\/b><\/i> consecutively topped the monthly charts in 2008 only to miss a month before Secret Invasion<\/i> #8 closed out in the top position.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Marvel<\/b>‘s Siege<\/b><\/i>, which topped the charts in January, placed second with its second issue. Four of the top ten comics were priced at $3.99, with the rest at $2.99.<\/p>\n

The latest Fables<\/a><\/b><\/i>\"\" trade paperback by Bill Willingham<\/b> topped the comics and graphic novels charts. On the market share side of things, the ranking was the same for both unit and dollar sales: Marvel<\/b>, followed by DC, Dark Horse, Image, <\/b>and IDW<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Diamond’s full Top 300 tables and our estimates should be along in a few days.<\/p>\n
