Commentary:

• Back on top this week: The Walking Dead Compendia. It looks like they're going to play a little dance with Hyperbole and a Half for the top spot for the foreseeable future.
• The top debuts are two Kindle single issues, usual suspects Injustice and Walking Dead. The top print debut this week is the collected edition of Marvel's Infinity. Unusual for Marvel, but the combination of a connection to Guardians of the Galaxy and a hefty Amazon discount seems to have turned out a few buyers.
• Also debuting this week is Alessandro Sanna's The River. It's being marketed as a children's picture book, but looking at some preview pages it looks to me that, if it's not comics, it is awfully comics-adjacent. 
• Dead Watch: There are sixteen Walking Dead-related titles on the top fifty chart this week. All hail the power of basic cable!
• Sales chart fans: I have a new gig, doing the DC Comics Month-to-month summaries for The Beat. Come take a look and join in the discussion!
