Commentary:

• A surge for My Favorite Thing is Monsters as it returns to the top of the list this week and is currently #17 on the overall Amazon books chart, fueled by a new surge of publicity in the mainstream media yesterday including Fresh Air (on NPR) and news that it has been picked up for a movie. The Kindle edition shows up for the first time and the forthcoming second volume makes an appearance as well.
• The top debut this week is the first collection of DC's Flintstones comic by Mark Russell & Steve Pugh. Right on its heels is the pre-order for the first Valerian hardcover collected edition, fueled by the release of a new trailer for the movie. 
• Also debuting this week are Saban's Power Rangers: Aftershock (a comic book sequel to the movie) and the Kindle edition of The Ghost in the Shell, the movie of which comes out this week—see a connection here?
