Commentary:

• Back on top this week is the first Walking Dead Compendium, sitting comfortably at #37 on the overall Amazon book chart. It spent most of the week jockeying with the first volume of Avatar: The Search for the #1 position on the comics chart.
• Coming out of nearly nowhere into the #2 slot as the top debut of the week is a new The Oatmeal book from Matthew Inman, My Dog: The Paradox. As a pre-order it is already #47 on the overall Amazon book chart.
• Injustice Watch: The eleventh issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us debuts in the top ten, but only four of the issues make the comics chart this week, whereas last week all ten issues made the chart.
• Also debuting this week are the tenth Sailor Moon volume, and a discounted Kindle version of the first Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi collection.
• Poor Hawkguy still can't crack the top ten; for the third week in a row, Hawkeye, Vol. 1: My Life as a Weapon sits at the #11 position on the chart. Still, that's the most sustained interest that a Marvel collection has seen in quite some time.
• Dead Watch: There are nine Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, including two of the top three positions. The season finale is this Sunday, so we'll see if there's a Walking Dead surge in its wake like there was last year...
• Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up fourteen of the slots on the chart this week, down three from last week. 
• Kindle Watch: Seventeen of the chart positions this week are taken up by Kindle editions, down seven from last week. The decline is mainly due to the decline in the number of Injustice issues making the chart.
