Commentary:

• Walking Dead continues to be strong while the television show is airing, taking the top two slots and four of the top five.  
• The Top debut this week is the second Sex Criminals collection, joined by a new issue of Injustice, the first volume of the new edition of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and the first collection of the New 52 Suicide Squad. That last one if a bit of a head-scratcher, but it is maybe due to their being a few casting announcements for the upcoming Suicide Squad movie.
• A lot of big jumps this week for no discernable reason. Maybe some of the drops are due to items being displaced by the Walking Dead surge, but that doesn't explain why the Marvel Encyclopedia would leap from #50 to #13...
