Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid's Cabin Fever slides down to #9 on the overall list. But that's still good enough to ward off the onslaught of post-holiday Kindle book buying and remain at the top of the comics chart.

* The Comics list is overwhelmed by Kindle books this week, as people unwrapped their Kindles on Christmas morning and immediately started buying their favorite graphic novels to read on its undersized screen. This week also shows the first appearance of DC's controversial Kindle Fire exclusives on the top 50.

* Dead Watch: Despite being available only in print form, The Walking Dead manage to still place nine collections in the top fifty this week.

* Tintin Watch: Six Tintin collections remain on the list post-holiday and post-movie release, which is pretty good, especially in the face of the Kindle wave.

* That's the final Amazon Top 50 chart for 2011. Look for a year-end wrap up sometime in the next week or so.
