Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid slips to #4 on the overall bestseller chart. It looks like his dreams of being #1 are not to be, foiled for weeks by George W. Bush.

* Suddenly and without warning, Amazon once again decides to classify the fifth Scott Pilgrim volume as a comic, and it returns to the charts. It's a Christmas miracle!

* 40: A Doonesbury Retrospective continues its steady climb up the charts and lands in the top ten for the first time this week.

* The only debut this week is the first Brightest Day collection, way down at #45.

* Marvel is completely shut out of the Amazon Top 50 this week.

* Dead Watch: Most of the titles slip just a bit, but there's still fourteen Walking Dead collections in the top fifty this week.

* The bottom of the top fifty list is #1,852 on the overall rankings this week.
