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:
  • Three titles make huge leaps on the chart up into the top ten: The third volume of Avatar: The Promise; Chris Ware's upcoming Building Stories; and the strangely-missing-from-the-chart-last-week Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.
  • The top item on the chart, the seventh Wimpy Kid book, is #6 on the Amazon overall books chart. Avatar is #79 on the overall chart; How to Tell if Your Cat... is #114.
  • A very rare occurrence this week as there are no new titles in the top fifty.
  • Despite the new movie bombing mightily at the box office, a Judge Dredd collection is on the chart for the second week in a row, and even moves up a bit this week.
  • Dead Watch: Eight Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, up two from last week as we are now just a bit over two weeks from the new season of the television show.
