Commentary:

• The Kindle edition of The Wimpy Kid 7 retains the #1 slot yet again this week. Can anything dethrone the Kid?
• Dead Watch: The two Walking Dead Compendia remain in the #2 & #3 slots, though they slip to #45 & #67 respectively on the overall Amazon books chart. There are thirteen WD collections on the chart this week, down one from last week
• Injustice Watch: The seventh issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us is the top debut this week; #1 and #6 are the only other issues that make the chart this week. At this point it appears that there is a core readership that is coming to the Kindle every week for their fix, and also a steady stream of new readers trying the series for the first time. Issue #7 is also the top seller on comiXology right now, beating out even the heavily-promoted Batman Incorporated #8. Like it or not, this is currently the best-selling super-hero comic outside of the direct market.
• Also debuting this week are Nemo: Heart of Ice (the latest League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic) and a Kindle collection of FoxTrot comic strips.
• Kindle Watch: Nineteen of the chart slots this week are taken up by Kindle editions, down one from last week.
• Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up sixteen of the slots on the chart this week, down one from last week.
