Commentary:

• This week's top comic is also the top debut: Goomics, a collection of Web comics that appear to be impenetrable to anyone who doesn't work at Google, but there are enough people who get it that it launched high, displacing even the bargain-priced Game of Thrones adaptation.
• The Kindle edition of the first issue of Batman: Damned also debuts in the top five, despite that fact that the online version censored the thing that was causing all the attention. 
• Several other debuts this week: The pre-order for the next volume of My Hero Academia; Liana Finck's memoir Passing for Human; the pre-order for Saladin Ahmed & Sami Kivela's Abbott; Jacky Fleming's The Trouble with Women; a Captain Marvel collection; a Carl Barks Donald Duck; and another Hellboy Omnibus.
• While this listing was compiled on Friday morning as usual, a series of events caused its posting to be delayed until Sunday morning.
