Psylocke: Ninja #1 Becomes Marvel’s Top-Selling Comic of the Week

Bleeding Cool: Psylocke: Ninja #1 was the best-selling Marvel comic of the week, ranking just behind DC’s Absolute Batman Annual 2025 on the Bleeding Cool Weekly Bestseller List. Alongside Rogue and X-Men, Psylocke: Ninja #1 helped place three X-books among the week’s top ten.

The Bleeding Cool Bestseller List is based on actual in-store sales data from over a hundred comic shops, primarily in North America and the UK, collected via ComicHub. The chart reflects what readers actually purchased from Wednesday through Saturday, rather than publisher orders.

Strong demand has also led to second printings, scheduled for March 4, including:

  • A second printing cover by Artgerm
  • A 1:25 variant cover by Dike Ruan

The quick move to second printings confirms Psylocke: Ninja #1 as one of Marvel’s standout launches of the season.

I hope this finally wakes editorial up, cause Betsy isn't the problem they just haven't been giving her the right writers or storylines, Seely and Thorne have been the only writers in the 2020s who've actually been interested in Betsy and done her justice

and Foxe, but it was an infinity comic

Wow, it’s crazy that depicting (the real) Psylocke in her most popular and widely recognized iteration worked. Who would’ve thought? Take notes, Marvel.

Right I forgot about his X-Corp arc in the final stretch of Krakoa, it was actually a great showing for Betsy

Fuck yeah 🦋💖

The truth is that I actually like Kwannon and (most of) her character development in recent years, but I do wish they hadn’t tried so hard to make her a literal replacement Psylocke, complete with Betsy’s costume and full power set. It seems lazy and a bit cash-grabby of Marvel, to be honest. But the majority of Kwannon’s writers have done their best to differentiate the two, so maybe that and this great news about Betsy’s new miniseries is a sign that there’s an X-World where both Betsy and Kwannon can exist at the same time. 🤞
