Commentary:

• We must be near the start of the fall college semester, as after a few weeks of hanging out in the Top 10, Persepolis moves into the top spot this week. It's joined in the top ten by fellow frequently-used college texts Fun Home and American Born Chinese.
• A Kindle sales on Daredevil collections earlier in the week brings three of them onto the chart this week.
• The top non-Daredevil sale debut this week is Superman: Doomsday, a collection of Doomsday's post-"Death of Superman" appearances. While perhaps driven in part by Doomsday's featuring in the Rebirthed Action Comics, the 58% discount probably doesn't hurt either.
• Also deeply discounted is another of this week's debuts: Marvel Comics: 75 Years of Cover Art. Also debuting this week is a new One-Punch Man volume.
