Commentary:

• No surprise the Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half remains at the top of the list this week. The hardcover edition jumps up into the top five, and the Kindle edition re-appears on the chart as well.
• Dead Watch: Eight Walking Dead titles on the chart this week. That's down two from last week, but it's also two of the top three, three of the top ten, and five of the top twenty.
• The top debut this week is Asterix and the Picts, the English language translation of what is almost sure to be the biggest selling title world-wide this year. The French langauge edition also debuts on the chart, which is the first time to my knowledge that a French language publication has made the top fifty chart.
• In other translated-from-the-French BD news, Blue Is the Warmest Color returns to the chart this week, and the Kindle edition debuts as well. Demand is no doubt driven by the movie based on it being released. Yeah, that's a NC-17-rated art house flick driving comic sales...
• Also debuting this week are the Webcomic compilation Off the Leash: The Secret Life of Dogs, and the OGN Hellboy: The Midnight Circus.
