Commentary:

• It's back! The massive Marvel Kindle is once again on, with a great number of Marvel collections (including some very recent ones that came out just this week) on sale for frankly insanely low prices. As a result, those collections are dominating the Amazon Comics chart. Forty-two of the fifty spots on the chart are taken up by these Marvel sale books.
• Popping through the clutter are Batman: The Dark Knight: Master Race; The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up; the pre-orders for Am I There Yet?: The Loop-de-loop, Zigzagging Journey to Adulthood (not due out until March), The Walking Dead Volume 28, and The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins; and Persepolis and Fun Home.
• Also debuting very high on the chart this week is the digital first issue of Critical Role, which I knew nothing about until one of my students mentioned it to me after class on Wednesday. Apparently it is a big thing with gaming folk?
