Commentary:

  • Hey look, a new Number One! Well, new-ish; the first Walking Dead Compendium has been at #1 before, but it returns to that spot after The Wimpy Kid 7 has held it for many weeks. It's currently #37 on the overall Amazon books chart.
  • The top debut this week is the pre-order of Vader's Little Princess, Jeffrey Brown's follow-up to his surprise hit Darth Vader and Son.
  • Other debuts this week are the latest issue of Injustice; and the first collection of Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see Hawkguy make the chart!
  • Dead Watch: There are sixteen Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, up three from last week, including three in the top ten. This week sees an increased demand for the hardcover collections.
  • Kindle Watch: Twenty-one of the chart slots this week are taken up by Kindle editions, up two from last week.
  • Diary Watch:  The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up seventeen of the slots on the chart this week, up one from last week.
