Commentary:

• Big Nate: From the Top is on the top of the chart for the second week in a row. 
• Astute observers however will notice that if you go to the Amazon Comics & Graphic Novels page, it is (as of this moment) in the #2 slot. The book in the #1 slot is The Bill the Cat Story. You may be wondering why that isn't on the chart, and it is because when I looked at it it appears to actually be an illustrated picture book and not really a comic. In putting together these charts every week, I have to filter out all of the 'not comics' things that show up on the Amazon best sellers page. Sometimes there are edge cases, like the Bill the Cat book, or the Jeffrey Brown Star Wars books, and I end up coming down on one side or the other. Other times there are things on the Amazon page that are glaringly obviously not comics: novels like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? or Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Sometimes it is as much art as it is science, and you may or may not agree with my decision. As of late the Amazon page has gotten especially messy: this week in order to get to #50 on the chart here I had to weed out a whopping 22 not-comics items.
• Only one debut this week: Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol. 1: Isn't it Bromantic.
