Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid stays on the top (#91 overall), but The Oatmeal inches back closer into the #2 spot. Interestingly there's a revised and expanded edition of the WK Do-It-Yourself Book popping up on pre-order down at #48 which may cause sales of the regular edition (currently #3) to start to sag.

* Top debut of the week is Ziggy Marley's Marijuanaman at #7, no doubt helped by Marley's television appearances hawking the book on various shows. Also debuting high (ha, see what I did there?) is a new X-Force collection, while down near the bottom are collections of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Y, the Last Man.

* This week's trend to ponder is the sudden re-appearance of three Absolute Sandman volumes. Anyone got any clues as to why this may be happening?

* Several Batman titles show a surge this week, including the strange appearance of an eight-year-old Batman: Knightfall collection. Perhaps we can blame a Hollywood casting call for the new Batman movie for this?

* Irredeemable Vol. 1 at the bottom of the list is #2,460 overall.
