Commentary:

• The Kindle edition of The Wimpy Kid 7 stays on top for a second week in a row. Other Kindle comics from last week's surge remain on the list, though they slip a bit this week. The hardcover edition of WK7 is #14 on the overall Amazon book chart.
• Perennials like Maus, Fun Home, Persepolis and Understanding Comics hop back on the chart this week, signalling that soon college kids will be returning to campus and are starting to buy the texts they need for their graphic narrative classes.
• Dead Watch: Just seven Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, down two from last week. Three of those are Kindle editions for the first three trade collections.
