Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid slips again this week on the overall chart--down to #19, but of course that's still plenty good enough to stay at #1 on the overall chart. Number two on the comics chart, the Walking Dead Compendium, is at #138 overall.

* The big news is the sudden surge of Kindle editions of The Dork Diaries up to #3 & #4. The Kindle edition of Odd Is on Our Side also cracks the top ten at #9. No other kindle comics make the list though, which speaks to either a lack of available comics on the Kindle and/or poor categorization by Amazon.

* The other big story from the chart is the wild swings, both up and down, for many items, led by The Walking Dead.

* Dead Watch: Despite the surge up for some collections, there are only ten Walking Dead books on the chart this week, as a few fell down to just below the cut-off point (They would be #51, 52 & 54).

* Only two new items this week, the Dilbert Wall Calendar and a Star Wars: Legacy collection.

* The bottom of the comics list this week is #1,808 overall.
