Commentary:

• Still number one on both the comics and the overall chart is the seventh Wimpy Kid volume (the Kindle edition is #32 on the Kindle store chart). The Walking Dead Compendia are #34 & #46 on the overall chart; How to Tell... is #39. Wimpy Kid 6 is #61 overall; Dork Diaries 5 is #73. 
• There's very little movement at the top of the chart, but there's plenty of churn in the middle and lower sections. 
• The only new title this week is the wall calendar of How To Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting To Kill You.
• Dead Watch: Fourteen Walking Dead titles on the chart this week, up one from last week, and three in the top ten. 
• We're just a little over a week away from the mid-season finale of the television show, which occasion traditionally sees a big bump for WD trades. But this year it is smacking right up into the holiday buying season, so the WD surge will go head-to-head with the increase for comic strip collections (especially Calvin & Hobbes) as well as The Wimpy Kid and its ilk.
