Commentary:

• Yes, the seventh Wimpy Kid is still #1. Also on the overall books chart. Expect this to be the case for quite a while. How to Tell... is #28 overall; the Walking Dead Compendia are #34 & #35; Wimpy Kid 6 is #54; Walking Dead 17 is #83; Dork Diaries 5 is #94.
• The only debut this week is the 2013 Maxine Year-In-A-Box Calendar
• It's a relatively sedate chart this week. Despite the start of the holiday shopping season, very few books make huge jumps.
• DC only have two books in the top 50; Marvel only have one. By contrast, Image have thirteen.
• Dead Watch: Granted, of those thirteen, twelve are Walking Dead books. That's down two from last week, but four three of those twelve are in the top ten.
