Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary:

• We have a new #1! Phoebe Glockner's The Diary of a Teenage Girl dethrones Batman: The Killing Joke , showing the power of movies to sell comics (or at least movie reviews--the movie is only in four theaters at the moment).
• New this week (aside form the new issue of Injustice) is the second Tokyo Ghoul volume, and the first collection of Remender & Tocchini's Low.
• It's college book-buying season, so look for books like Maus, Persepolis, Fun Home and American Born Chinese to dominate the bulk of the top ten for the next few weeks.
