Commentary:

• The two Walking Dead Compendia retain the top two slots this week, though with the season wrapped up for the TV show the other WD collections show some softening.
• The big news this week is Daredevil: A combination of the debut of the Netflix series and a sale on Kindle editions brings five Daredevil collections to the chart. Four of those five are the only debut titles for the week.
• With just two weeks to go until the new Avengers movie, will we see a surge of interest in Avengers comics? So far not so much, with just the recent Rage of Ultron OGN popping in near the bottom of the chart. It seems that recently Marvel have made some strides inturning broader cultural interest in their properties into at least modest collection sales, but these next few weeks will be the first real test...
