Commentary:

• Clinton Cash drops to #101 on the overall Amazon books chart (down from #11 last week, but that's still good enough to keep it in the top spot on this week's comics chart.
• We must be getting close to the start of another college semester, as books like Persepolis, Fun Home, American Born Chinese, and Maus are moving towards the upper realm of the chart.
• Yesterday the Kindle Daily Deal included three Spider-Man collections, and they all dutifully show up on the chart today.
• The top (non-Kindle sale) debut this week is the collected edition of the Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover. Other debuts include a new volume of Tokyo Ghoul and a new Star Wars collection.
