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:

* Cabin Fever stays at #28 on the overall list and stays at #1 on the comics list this week. But nipping right at its heels is the #2 item, new Avatar graphic novel, at #38 on the overall list. Could we soon see a new #1 comic? Tune in next week to find out...

* The second Avatar volume isn't due out until June, but there's still enough anticipation to make it the #21 comic this week (and the only item debuting this week as well). Rounding out the Avatar-fever is the return of last year's The Lost Adventures to the list at #37.

* Dead & Tintin Watch: Just four titles each for The Walking Dead and Tintin this week. There are six Batman titles, so maybe it's time to start a Bat-watch in anticipation of the new movie out this summer?
