Parting Shot: Tim Leong Visualizes NYT’s Best-Selling Comics Of 2012

With Diamond releasing its lists for the top 500 comics and graphic novels of 2012 today, there's no time like the present to examine the equally interesting -- if more archaic -- New York Times best seller rankings from last year. Tim Leong, Director of Digital Design at Wired and longtime friend of/occasional contributor to ComicsAlliance, has made it easy to take in NYT's paperback bestsellers from 2012 with a colorful and clear infographic. It doesn't include NYT's hardcover or manga rankings, but it's still a beautifully presented indicator of how a number of comic releases performed in relation to one another over the course of the past year. You can behold Leong's full NYT infographic after the cut.
