Commentary:

• With the new Avengers movie just one week away from opening, the top of the Amazon comics chart is dominated by... two Batman comics from the 1980s.
• To be fair, Marvel does manage to place several Daredevil books on the chart (helped in part by the ongoing Kindle Daredevil sale), as well as collections of Ms. Marvel, Civil War, Deadpool and Captain Marvel. And an Avengers OGN does show up on the chart, way down at #50.
• The top debut this week is Sydney Padua's  The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, an ersatz take on the prehistory of computer science. Also debuting are an Injustice print collection, the final Scott Pilgrim color edition, a Minecraft comic, and a Captain Marvel collection.
