Commentary:

• After a week at #2, The Third Wheel moves back into the #1 slot (and is #4 on the overall Amazon books chart). How to Tell If You Cat... is #23 on the overall chart, just a shade ahead of the second Walking Dead compendium at #24.
• Dead Watch: The new season of the Walking Dead television show aired this past Sunday to stellar ratings, and also served to remind people that there are Walking Dead comics as well. Sixteen WD collections appear on the chart this week, double the number from last week.
• The Walking Dead surge didn't leave much room for new titles on the list; just one: the Kindle edition of The Third Wheel.
• In its second week on the chart, Vaughan & Staples' Saga makes an impressive leap up into the top twenty.
