Commentary: 

• The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, stays on top of the chart again this week.
• This week's top (and only) debut is the Kindle edition of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point #1—which does not come with a game code so perhaps there are some people who are looking to get the comic in order to read it?
• The biggest chart mystery of the week: What caused Lynda Barry's What It Is—originally published in 2008—to suddenly appear in the top ten?
• Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba—The Movie was #2 at the box office this past weekend, and unlike some other comics book movies of the past it is able to turn box office success into comic success, with thirteen volumes of the manga on the top fifty chart this week.
• In all forty of the top fifty spots on the chart are taken by manga volumes, which is actually down a bit from last week's record-tying forty-two.
• Wash your hands. Wear a face mask when in public, enclosed spaces. Practice sensible social distancing. Get a vaccine when it is available for you. Read comics!
