Commentary:

* A barrage of positive press leads Craig Thompson's new graphic Novel, Habibi, to debut in the #2 slot. (Still not enough to dethrone the upcoming Wimpy Kid volume, which is #5 on the overall list this week.) Meanwhile, a barrage of negative press sends Frank Miller's Holy Terror up to the #8 slot.

* Other debuts this week are new volumes of Berserk, Rosario+Vampire, and Chew.

* It's a particularly volatile week, with a good number of books showing double-digit leaps either up or down.
