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

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* I got too busy yesterday and forgot to compile the list, which means this is for Saturday morning rather than Friday. So take the comparisons with a larger grain of salt than usual.

* Despite luke-warm box office for the movie, the Kick-Ass comic remains popular the week after. How long will it remain above Wimpy Kid?

* The Losers gets a movie boost as well; the volumes 1 & 2 compilation breaks into the top ten, while volume 4 peeks in down near the bottom.

* The Highest debut belongs to the third Y, the Last Man Deluxe hardcover. The pre-order for the next Walking Dead volume also makes a first appearance.
