Commentary:

* After two weeks at the top, the Oatmeal collection 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin slips down to #3 behind a couple of Wimpy Kid volumes. Also, the Kindle edition of 5 Very Good Reasons shows up near the bottom of the list.

* The latest volume of Invincible Ultimate Collection debuts in the top 10.

* The other debut this week is the first iZombie collection, while the third collection of The Unwritten vaults way up to just outside the top ten.

* While the Scott Pilgrim box set maintains a respectable ranking, I do believe this is the first time in a long while that not a single individual volume of Scott Pilgrim shows up on the chart.

* Dead Watch: Ten Walking Dead collections in the top fifty this week. (Bottom-of-the-list Book 4 is #2,417 on the overall chart)
