Commentary:

  • Batman: The Killing Joke takes the top slot for the fourth week in a row.
  • Several Kindle editions of Calvin & Hobbes collections make the chart, holdovers from a Kindle sale earlier in the week.
  • The big winner from ComiCon on the Amazon chart is Suicide Squad, as early excitement for the movie pushes the first New 52 collection into the #4 slot and sees two other collections debut as well. 
  • Also debuting this week are a new issue of Injustice, and collections of Batman Eternal and Justice League.
