Commentary:

• A new #1 this week! The twentieth Walking Dead paperback hit comic stores and Kindle (debuting on the chart this week at #16) this week, and the print edition ships from Amazon next week. Thirteen Walking Dead comics and collections make the top fifty chart this week, including the top three slots.
• Image comics kind of rule the chart this week; between Walking Dead and Saga they take six of the top ten and eight of the top fifteen.
• The top debut this week is the newest Avatar: The Last Airbender OGN, impressively at #7. It ships next week as well.
• Manga-wise Attack on Titan continues to dominate the top fifty, although a new-to-the-chart title, Nisekoi: False Love, manages to crack in near the bottom.
• Also debuting this week are the third A Game of Thrones volume (in pre-order); and single Kindle issues of DC's Forever Evil #6 & American Vampire #1, the latter being the beneficiary of a 99¢ American Vampire sale.
• Alessandro Sanna's The River, which debuted last week and earlier this week was cracking the top ten, has dropped completely off the chart this morning. At first I suspected a re-categorization and it turns out that Amazon has sold out of their stock and is now listing it as 'Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks.' So it is still popular, just presently not selling due to lack of copies.
