Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid holds the top 3 spots on the comics chart, but still cannot crack #1 on the overall chart; he sits at #2 behind former president Bush.

* Scott Pilgrim sales start to soften as the Amazon super-heavy discounts give way to more modest discounts. On the plus side for Scott, his Precious Little Box Set starts to move up, just in time for the holiday shopping season.

* Only one new title on the chart this week: a new Fables collection pre-order at #39.

* I somehow missed the fact that last week Watchmen slipped off the chart, which I think may be the first time it's done so since the big movie push last year.

* Walking Dead Watch: Thirteen separate collections on the charts this week.

* The bottom of the chart is #2,256 overall this week.
