R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary:

• The Top item and top debut this week is for the pre-order for the digital edition of the first issue of Pierce Brown's Red Rising: Sons of Ares. Apparently Red Rising is a big thing? Big enough that its fans just can't wait to get their hands on this comic.
• In fact there are several individual Kindle editions of single issues on the chart this week, including The Flash #21 (the second part of "The Button"), two issues of American Gods, and in issue of Injustice 2. 
• With the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie due out next week, you might expect a lot of Guardians comics on the chart; but all we get are the kid-focused Night Night, Groot; and the sale-priced Kindle edition of The Black Vortex.
• Manga has been making a comeback on the chart over the past little bit; this week sees the latest volumes of Attack on Titan, Monster Musume, Dragon Ball, Naruto, My Hero Academia,  and Tokyo Ghoul, as well as some classics like Uzumaki & The Legend of Zelda.
