Commentary:
  • Batman: The Killing Joke jumps up past the Walking Dead Compendia to make a return visit to the top of the chart, likely spurred on my recent news about the upcoming animated adaptation.
  • The top debut this week is the latest volume of Tokyo Ghoul, followed closely by Star Wars: Vader Down. Also debuting are Ch05En #0, a Kindle-only comic prelude to the popular Kindle prose series; the latest Kindle issue of Injustice; and a Kindle edition of some more Minecraft comics.
  • It's been a couple of months since the Deadpool movie came out, and interest in the character's various comic book exploits remains relatively strong—a rarity these days when usually it's the anticipation of a movie that drives comic collection sales on Amazon, with interest dropping off fairly rapidly after the movie actually comes out.
