Commentary:

• A new #1 this week as the second Adventure Zone graphic novel makes its debut as a pre-order this week, even though it is not out until July 2019. The hardcover edition also comes in at #16.
• Apparently Goblin Slayer is a thing? The anime adaptation of the light novel series debuted this week, and that apparently drove people to check out the manga adaptations as well.
• The Dilbert 2019 Day-to-Day Calendar debuts on the chart this week, and no doubt will be on the top of the chart before the year is done.
• Other debuts this week include the manga NieR:Automata: Long Story Short, a new collection of The Wicked + The Divine, and Brusker & Phillips' new OGN My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies.
