Commentary:

* And after one week away at #2, the Wimpy Kid moves back up into the #1 slot, as The Oatmeal collection falls to #4.

* Plenty of new books on the charts this week, including two in the top 10: The massive Simonson Thor Omnibus, and the baseball biography 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente.

* Also debuting: Mister Wonderful by Dan Clowes; the latest Maximum Ride volume; the latest Bloom County collection; another huge Marvel omnibus: X-Men by Claremont & Lee; and the latest Black Butler volume, which is the only manga on the chart this week.

* Dead Watch: All those new titles appear to have come at the expense of the Walking Dead, as there are only a surprisingly low three WD collections in the top fifty this week. A momentary blip?

* The #1 and #50 slots are #70 and #2,713 on the overall chart this week.
