Ben notes: We are including Marvel Graphic Novel in the guide this year due to popular demand, but readers should be aware that it does not fit the same mold as the newsstand-exclusive comic book variants that make up the rest of the guide. These Marvel Graphic Novel books are magazine-tier at CGC/CBCS, and beyond the size difference to regular comics the distribution differed as well, with these books distributed as graphic novels with just one version priced at $5.95 for Canada, as opposed to there being direct edition and newsstand versions.
