R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* And we have a new #1: The third Dork Diaries volume is finally released, and takes the top two slots with its Kindle & print editions.

* The only hint that there's a #1-at-the-box-office X-Men movie at the theaters is the Astonishing X-Men Omnibus about halfway up the list. Not bad for an expensive hardcover, but when you consider that the Simonson Thor Omnibus reached the top 5, this is a bit disappointing as far as coattails go.

* Only three new titles this week, all in the second half of the list: a new Dark Tower; a new Fullmetal Alchemist; and Anya's Ghost.

* I'm not really sure why three of the Bone color collections showed up on this list this week...
