Commentary: 

• Strange Planet is still at the top of the comics chart this first week of 2020, though it slips down to #27 on the overall Amazon books chart.
• The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of Animal Farm: The Graphic Novel (oddly, as it came out back in September and is not deeply discounted more than usual—perhaps there was a sale earlier in the week that I missed?) It is joined by the Kindle edition of Star Trek: Picard—Countdown #2,the pre-order for the next volume of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and a bunch of calendars.
• There are a whopping eighteen calendars in the top 50 this week!
• With a new college semester starting soon, we once again see the beginning of the University Effect as Maus, Persepolis and Fun Home return to the chart this week.
