Commentary:

* After months on the chart as a pre-order, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5 finally comes out this week... and stays at #2 on the overall chart as it cannot budge Bush's memoir out of the top spot. The previous Wimpy Kid book gets a boost up to #2 on the comics chart and #64 overall.

* The Walking Dead Compendium and Superman: Earth One dip back below Scott Pilgrim, likely due to a boost from the SP movie's DVD release. Being out-of-stock also probably didn't help Superman this week.

* An interview on NPR helps Linda Barry's new Picture This debut high, and sees her previous book, What It Is, return to the chart.

* A plethora of other debuts this week include Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Boxset, Acme Novelty Library #20, Stephen King's N., Tonoharu, Absolute All Star Superman, The Boys Vol. 7, and The Little Prince Graphic Novel.

* Walking Dead watch: twelve collections in the top fifty this week.

* The bottom of the list this week is #2,352 on the overall chart.
