Commentary:

• Long time observers of these Amazon Top 50 snapshots may remember the days when the Big Nate comic strip collections were all over the chart. Then they disappeared, along with many other kid-oriented comics, in a mass reclassification on the Amazon site. They weren't selling any less, they just weren't showing up on the main comics chart any more. Anyway, a few weeks ago, this one Kindle edition of a Big Nate collection suddenly showed up on the main comics chart, and after hanging out in the top five for a bit has now slid into the #1 position.
• The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of the new issue of The Walking Dead. Also debuting are a collection of the popular Webcomic Kill 6 Billion Demons, and Berkeley Breathed's Academia Waltz, a collection of the Bloom County creator's college strip.
