Commentary:


  • Taking the #1 slot this week is Persepolis, the spearhead of the college book buying surge.
  • The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of an Ant-Man collection—maybe there was a sale or something earlier in the week? 
  • Also debuting this week are: The Comic Book Story of Beer; a Minecraft Kindle comic; the final collection of Fraction & Aja's Hawkeye; a new issue of Injustice; and the first Squirrel Girl collection.
