The New York Times Bestseller List is revising its categories. And losers include the graphic novel hardcover and paperback sections.

This is the final report from last week. With, traditionally, Raina Telgemeier topping the charts.

At least all the Love Is Love contributors got to say they were a New York Times best-selling author before it closed.

If you want this category re-opened, feel free to contact 1-212-556-1200 or timesdigest@nytimes.com.

The final list:

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Huh. Any explanation for this?

 

[Impeccable]

Wonder why this was decided... seems like one of those things that is always there.

 

[Busty]

Interesting.

I assumed that this would be full of more mature, Vertigo esque titles.

 

[LordOfLore]

Huh. Any explanation for this?

Not yet. Has Trump insulted them for having March on it again?

 

[mattiewheels]

Interesting.

I assumed that this would be full of more mature, Vertigo esque titles.

Those Telgemeier children's graphic novels are enormous sellers. I work at a local bookstore and they have no competition as far as sales go.

Wait, there's a Kindred Graphic Book?

I read the novel in one sitting last year and thought it was amazing. A real page-turner.

 

[LordOfLore]

Manga gone as well.

 

[Jamie OD]

Manga gone as well.

This reminds me, is it true that some of the comic publishers convinced NYT to put manga in a separate category because it would have otherwise dominated the chart?

 

[Sectorseven]

Fight Club 2?

 

[Mr. F]

"Permanent #1 New York Times Bestseller" stickers incoming
