Commentary:

• This column is going up on Sunday instead of Friday this week. Because I'm an idiot.
• With Father's Day in the rearview mirror the demand for Jeffrey Brown's Darth Vader books has abated, leading to The Killing Joke rising to the top slot this week. Love it or hate it, this nearly thirty-year-old Batman comic still has staying power.
• There are several debuts this week: aside from the obligatory new issue of Injustice, there's the First collection of Snyder & Jock's Wytches; the third Ms. Marvel collection, the third massive Walking Dead Compendium; the fourth East of West collection; and the sale-priced Kindle edition of the first volume of the manga Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
