Commentary:

• We have a new #1! The Kindle edition of Wolverine by Claremont and Miller, a collection of the highly-regarded 80s mini-series, was the Kindle Daily Deal earlier in the week, and the residual effects keep it at the top of the Comics chart. It is also reportedly the basis for the upcoming Wolverine movie, so the high profile from the Daily Deal promotion may keep it on the charts for a while.
• The Injustice: Gods Among Us video game debuted this week, and the comics tie-ins see a substantial boost in their chart positions. Debuting at #2 is a "bonus premium" edition that collects issues 4, 5, 6 & 9; it was apparently included as a pre-order bonus for the game, and it's unclear to me how much of the chart position is due to people who bought the game redeeming their digital copies. Every extant Injustice comic makes the chart, with four in the top ten and all fifteen in the top thirty.
• This is the first time ever since I've been keeping track of these charts that we've had the top three books all be debuts. Also debuting this week is the Kindle edition of the latest Big Nate strip collection; the second volume of The Manhattan Projects; and the collection of the classic Elseworlds story Superman: Red Son.
• Despite this week being the 75th Anniversary of Superman, and The Man of Steel movie release being just two months away, Red Son is the only Superman comic on the top fifty comics chart.
• Dead Watch: We're back to seven Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, down from ten last week. The boost from the season finale was short-lived this go-around.
• Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up thirteen of the slots on the chart this week, down two from last week.
• Kindle Watch: Twenty-eight of the chart positions this week are taken up by Kindle editions, up three from last week.
