Amazon.com (in cooperation with Diamond Distributors) recently debuted its new Graphic Novel section at the Amazon site and guess what book is the # 3 top seller? Yeah you guessed it! Our very own “30 Days of Night” TPB. This current position beats out books like ‘Kingdom Come’, ‘X-Men 2′ adaptation and many more. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, hurry up. It was just announced that the trade is going into its THIRD printing. While many people don’t care what printing they get, many comic collectors value earlier prints much higher than later prints.

Every month Wizard has had coverage on Steve Niles and the latest issue (# 140, May 2003) is no exception. Here’s a list of what you’ll find in the latest issue:

• Niles of the Living Dead: Steve Niles on ‘Ghost Rider’ or ‘Morbius’? Well unfortunately he’s not signed onto any of these books yet, but on page 34 Steve explains what he’d do if he got to chance to write these and other “monsters”
• Video Games We Want to See as Comics: Wizard picks Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith as their choice to take on the ‘Silent Hill 2′ video game.
• Hot 10 Comics: ‘30 Days of Night’ # 1 slips again to number 7. Ouch! Wizard describes it as “the book that wouldn’t die!” While they say the book is holding strong and advise not to count the book out yet. Even if we don’t see it on the list next month, well, at least it had a good run.
• Price Guide: ‘30 Days of Night’ # 1 goes up in value to $50.00 (ouch)! All other issues remain the same.
• Inside Back Cover: Another one of those big ass ‘Criminal Macabre’ ads. Yeah!
