Commentary:

• We have another new #1: Marvel's collection of the early 90s series The Infinity Gauntlet. It has made it up to #45 on the overall chart. I believe that this is the first time that a Marvel book has ever topped the Amazon Top 50 since I've been tracking it.
• The top debut this week is all the way up at #2: the hardcover The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga, which Amazon is selling for just $5, a whopping 87% discount.
• Last week's #1, Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother?, slips to #3 this week, though it is still at a respectful #107 on the overall chart, which most weeks would be enough to top the overall list.
• Also debuting this week is Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Story, a comics adaptation of an Anne Rice story; the print version of the fourth Dork Diaries volume; and the collection of Grant Morrison's initial Batman Incorporated run.
• Dead Watch: Just twelve Walking Dead collections on the chart this week (down from fourteen last week)
• Bat Watch: The are six Batman collections on the chart this week, up one from last week.
