Commentary:

• The third Walking Dead Compendium stays on top for the fourth week in a row, and this week is joined in the #2 & #3 spots by the other two Compendia. 
• The top debut this week is the second volume in Anthony Bourdain & Joel Rose's Get Jiro! series, Blood & Sushi.
• Also debuting in the top ten this week is Lauren Redniss's Thunder & Lightning. I went back and forth as to whether or not to include it as a comic; the heavily illustrated prose really walks the borderline, but in the end I opted for inclusion.
• Rounding out this week's debuts are the third volume of One Punch Man and the 2016 Dilbert Day-to-Day Calendar.
• With last week's new Star Wars trailer now in the rearview mirror the Star Wars comics take a dip down this week, though I suspect that as we get closer to the mid-December release there will be another surge of interest.
