Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid stays on the top once again, but again slips, to #50 on the overall chart.

* The college rush continues, with Maus, Persepolis and Fun Home all in the top 10.

* Demand for individual volumes of Scott Pilgrim continue to soften, though the box set remains strong.

* Dead Watch:Eight Walking Dead collections in the top fifty this week, down from nine last week.

* Two new titles debut as pre-orders: Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, Vol. 1 (the only Marvel title on the chart this week); and the final Buffy Season 8 collection.

* The bottom of the list is a distressingly low #4,048 this week.
