Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* After being featured on NPR, the volumes of Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet hop up high onto the list: the three released volumes into the top eleven, and the pre-release of the upcoming fourth volume as the top new item.

* Alan Moore still has what it takes to sell books: the second volume of LOEG: Century hops up to #5 this week.

* How does the long-out-of-print graphic novel adaptation of The Hobbit hit the chart this week? Strange and mysterious are the ways of the Amazon comics chart...
