Commentary:

  • Another week, another new #1; this week it is the first Deluxe hardcover edition of Berserk  which was finally released this week after floating around on the chart in pre-order for what seems like forever. The next two volumes (still in pre-order) return to the chart in the 13th and 14th positions.
  • The celebration info Batman's 80th anniversary kicked off this week with the release of Detective Comics #1000  the Kindle edition debuts on the chart, joining the pre-order for the hardcover edition and the 80 Years of Batman compilation.
  • The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of The Life of Captain Marvel. Also debuting this week are The Handmaid's Tale: The Graphic Novel, the pre-order for the Doomsday Clock collection (due out in November), a new Batman collection, and pre-orders for new volumes of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes and The Promised Neverland.
  • Speaking of The Promised Neverland, a bunch of the volumes return to the chart en masse this week, possibly because the first season of the Anime series just finished airing.
  • A word about the way this chart is compiled: this week I clarified the opening to state that comiXology Unlimited titles are removed from the chart. Most of those are also Kindle Unlimited titles, but apparently there are a few that are on cXU and not KU.
