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:

* Expect to see The Wimpy Kid Vol. 6 entrenched at the top of this chart for many weeks to come. This week it is #5 on the overall chart. The second Twilight volume moves up to #2 on the comics chart and is #107 overall.

* It's a good week for The Walking Dead and Batman; the former's second television season starts Sunday, and Batman has a new video game. Thus the comics climb the charts as well.

* There are a lot of new books on the chart this week, led by the latest volume of the awesome Yotsuba&!

* There are seven manga titles on the chart this week, which historically is pretty good.
