Commentary:

• We have yet another new #1: With the Batman Day sales far behind us, it is safe for the latest Walking Dead volume, released this week, to rise to the top to the chart. It is currently #24 on the overall Amazon book chart. Bryan Lee O'Malley's Seconds is not far behind at #81 on the overall cook chart.
• The release of the latest Jeffrey Brown Star Wars book sees it rise to the #4 position on the comics chart, and the rest of his Star Wars Oeuvre makes the chart as well. 
• Most of the rest of the top of the chart is taken up by the bargain-priced Kindle editions of Frank Miller's Sin City.
• Debuts this week include the latest issue of Injustice Year Two, the new Avatar volume, and Deadpool by Daniel Way.
• Marvel have a pretty good showing this week, with the Guardians of the Galaxy film driving the interest in a few collections, and also Deadpool for some reason.
