Commentary:

• Note: This week's chart positions are taken from Saturday morning instead of the usual Friday posting, so take all numbers and comparisons with an extra grain of salt...
• The Kindle edition of the seventh Wimpy Kid returns to the top of the chart this week, pushing The Walking Dead Compendia back down to positions 2 and 4.
• A big surge this week for the first volume of the new Avatar: The Last Airbender series, leaping up 38 places to the #3 slot (corresponding to the #49 position on the overall Amazon chart). Pre-orders for the second debut at #30.
• Injustice Watch: Led by the top ten debut of the tenth issue, all ten digital issues of Injustice: Gods Among Us make the top fifth chart this week.
• Also debuting this week are both volumes of Nathan Edmondson & Mitch Gerads' The Activity; and some kind of Mobile Suit Gundam graphic novel.
• Dead Watch: Just eight Walking Dead collections make the top fifty this week, down two from last week. Once again there are several collections hovering down in what would be the chart positions in the fifties, indicating that the appearance of the Injustice comics this year are keeping TWD from placing many more collections on the top fifty chart like they did last year when the television show was airing. The season finale is a week from Sunday, and we'll see then if the comic collections get their traditional end-of-season boost this year...
• Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises, which between them take up seventeen of the slots on the chart this week, the same as last week. 
• Kindle Watch: Twenty-four of the chart positions this week are taken up by Kindle editions.
