Commentary: 

• A new volume of Chainsaw Man is released and moves into the top spot on this week's chart.
• The only print debut this week is a new volume of Hunter x Hunter. A new issue of X-Men leads a small crop of Kindle single issues.
• News about someone using AI to make bad Calvin & Hobbes strips leads to new interest in the real deal and both the hardcover and paperback editions of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes return to the chart. (Or it could be interest from Watterson's upcoming picture book?)
  
• Twenty-two of the top fifty this week are manga, with Berserk making up twelve of those.
• The Covid variant shots are out—get yours today!
