Commentary:
* Well that was an exciting week! The big glitch that hit over the weekend caused many large ticket GNs distributed to the book trade by Diamond soar up the Amazon bestseller charts, only to see them disappear after the error was corrected. This then had a rebound effect later in the week as Amazon pulled their sales listings for all comics distributed by Diamond. The biggest losers chart-wise in all of this are books like the latest Buffy collection, which was not really affected by the $14.99 price point but sees its Amazon sales pulled anyway; so instead of enjoying big sales its first week in release it is unavailable from Amazon.
* This is the first week since I started keeping these charts (over a year ago) that V for Vendetta has not been on the list (it would be at #51).
* Debuting way up at #6 is I am an alien. I have a question, a kindle-only comic that is selling for just $1.
*Twilight watch: It's #37 on the overall list, and actually goes on sale next week...
