    Commentary:
    • There were effectively two Marvel 99¢ Kindle sales this week: The first, mid-week, featured hundreds of recent collections, while the second at the end of the week was only for those collections and OGNs released this week. 
    • Most of this week's new items are those Marvel sale items, but also new are the Kindle edition of the new My Hero Academia volume, and a new issue of The Walking Dead.
    • Marvel claimed at the retailer summit yesterday that it is Amazon setting these bargain prices, and not Marvel, and the Amazon is losing money on each sold. Selling digital items at a loss to encourage format adaptation is something that Amazon has done in the past, but why are they only doing this with Marvel titles?
