Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.


Commentary:

* The Star Trek Movie prequel overtakes Watchmen, the first non-Wimpy Kid item to do so since Watchmen's movie bump.

* Speaking of movie bumps, Wolverine's seems to be fading, withe the related titles slipping or falling off the list.

* Movement upwards on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen titles, as the new volume's release also provides interest in the previous volumes.

* The highest debut belongs to Fantagraphics' Blazing Combat hardcover. Also debuting strongly is The New Brighton Archeological Society, a kid-friendly book from Image.

* A good week for compendiums, with volumes for Y, the Last Man and Walking Dead making big moves, and Invincible remaining strong.
