Commentary:
  • Some shuffling of the chairs, but the top ten remains mainly the same this week, with Wimpy Kid still at the top. On the overall Amazon books chart, the top 5 are: #5, #18, #34, #43, & #51; an extremely strong showing from the comics items.
  • After being shut out of new titles last week, this week shows seven title making their debut on the top fifty chart, led by Hope Larson's adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time at #11. Other debuts are Mark Siegel's Sailor Twain; the latest collection of American Vampire; the collection of Marvel's event comic Avengers vs. X-Men; a box set of Warren Ellis's Freakangels; a hardcover Criminal collection; and the latest volume of Berserk.
  • Dead Watch: Eight Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, same as last week.
