Commentary:

• No surprise at this week's new #1 book, as the latest Walking Dead collection is released. It currently sits at #46 on the overall Amazon books chart.
• Only one new title on the chart this week: Big Nate Fun Blaster (which appears to be part comics & part activitities) slips in at #48.
• Dead Watch: Ten Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, up from six last week. The new collection shows some modest coattails, though not at all what the season finale of the television show accomplished earlier in the year.
• Bat Watch: Ten Batman titles on the chart this week, with just four weeks to go until The Dark Knight Rises...
