Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid stays #4 on the overall bestseller chart, and continues to hold on to the top 3 slots on the comics chart.

* Except for the vaulting of the Scott Pilgrim box set up into the top 10, there is very little movement of titles in the top 20 of the chart. Certainly well within the realm of this chart's hourly churn.

* There are no debuts this week. Last week's lone debut, Brightest Day vol. 1, slips off the chart, which is somewhat surprising given that all of the Brightest Night collections did so well.

* Walking Dead watch: thirteen collections in the top fifty, one less than last week. Now that the television show has finished its first season, we will likely see a softening of demand for the Dead until near its second season in October. Then again, The Walking Dead is one of those comics that continues to defy conventional sales patterns, so who knows...?

* This week's #50 title is #2,005 on the overall chart.
