There's a big battle between Marvel and DC when it comes to comic books and of course, even in comic book movies. In July this year, the Marvel Universe dominated the list of top 100 comic books released by Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc.

Marvel grabbed eight out of the top 10 title in the list. DC Entertainment and Archie Comics each took one of the two remaining spots.

Here is the list of the top ten comic books last month:

1. Secret Wars (#4) - Marvel Comics

In this "Secret Wars" issue, a confrontation between Doom and Marvel's surviving heroes makes the chapter more thrilling and moving.

2. Star Wars: Lando (#1) - Marvel Comics

Marvel introduces Lando, the smooth-talking scoundrel, in this new miniseries. The creators of the comics include Charles Soule, known for "Death of Wolverine", and Alex Maleev, who took part in creating "Spider-Woman."

3. Civil War (#1) - Marvel Comics

The Civil War continues. So does the success of Marvel Comics in this list. The new chapter introduces readers to the Warzone and narrates what happened during the six-year battle between split forces.

10. Guardians of Knowhere (#1) - Marvel Comics

Other notable comics in the top 100 list includes "The Walking Dead," the top title for Image Comics; "Invader Zim," the top for Oni; and "Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War" of IDW Publishing.

The list was based on the total unit sales of products in the North American market.
