N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary:

• The new Walking Dead hardcover is released, and it shambles right up to the top of the chart this week.
• At some point this week Amazon finally corrected the price point on the Spider-Verse hardcover, but enough people must've gotten in on the bargain action before then to keep it in the #2 position.
• The college book-buying season starts to wane this week, as evidenced by the drops of Persepolis, Maus, American Born Chinese, and others. They will no doubt rise again come January.
• Only one new item this week, the latest Kindle issue of Injustice.
• Anyone know why the sudden interest again in NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette?
