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:

* The top two titles this week remain Wimpy Kid's Cabin Fever (#6 overall) and Habibi (#129 overall).

* Another surprise top ten debut this week, as video-game tie-in Valve Presents: The Sacrifice and Other Steam-Powered Stories comes in at #8. Also debuting this week are fellow video-game tie-in Batman: Arkham Ciy, along with new volumes of Prince Valiant and Vampire Knight.

* Now that Barnes & Noble has pulled Watchmen and ninety-nine other DC graphic novels off their shelves in a hissy fit over Kindle Fire exclusivity, will Amazon doubly reap the benefits by selling more of their print counterparts as well? Tune in next week to find out...
