Commentary:

• The new holder of the #1 slot this week is Me Without You by Lisa Swerling & Ralph Lazar. Which some people probably don't consider to be a comic (and I may be one of them...), but I've been including it on the chart as something comic-like and I'm not going to pull it off just because it hit the top spot. I suspect its recent surge is due to the upcoming Valentine's Day 'holiday' so it will probably hang around for a couple more weeks.
• The top debut this week is the latest digital issue of Injustice.
• Also debuting is the second volume of Black Science, yet another in a line of Image comics that are finding some amount of legs in collected editions. The Walking Dead and Saga are obviously hits, with The Wicked + The Divine moving up the chart and books like Sex Criminals, Rat Queens and Black Science making regular appearances.
• A few very-long-named Minecraft comics show up near the bottom of the chart. I take it that these are comics made up of screen-grabs from Minecraft?
• The 2014 year-end wrap up is almost done—hopefully it'll go up this weekend...
