The rankings presented in their charts are meticulously curated, based on piece sales – a metric that provides valuable insights into the dynamics of the industry. It’s noteworthy that some publishers categorize works primarily focused on text or those in the realm of art as graphic novels. To ensure accuracy and relevancy, ICv2 diligently eliminates such titles from the rankings, thereby refining the portrayal of the market landscape.
