Commentary:  

• The year's first big release is here: Waverider, the final volume of Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet series, moves into the top spot with its release this week after many weeks milling about the lower portions of the chart in pre-release. The box set containing the first eight volumes returns to the list, and I suspect that the individual previous volumes are being sequestered in Amazon's kids GN chart and thus don't appear here.
• This week's other big release—a new volume of Solo Leveling—moves up to the #3 spot, and the Kindle edition also debuts this week.
• This week's top new item is the first issue of Resurrection of Magneto. The top print debut is a forthcoming volume of Dragon Ball Super.

Commentary:  

• The first two issues of February's weekly Batman story "The Joker Year One" debut in the top two spots on this week's chart, signaling a strong interest in the event.
• Plenty of Kindle single issue debuts this week, but the only print debut is a new volume of One-Punch Man.
• Just as an aside, it seems odd that no one is publishing a Barbie comic right now?

Commentary:  

• It's a big week for Ultimate Spider-Man—on the week of its release, the first issue on Kindle jumps way up to the top spot, and pre-orders for the second and third issues debut in the top ten. To top things off, the pre-order for the eventual collected edition is this week's top print debut.
• Also debuting this week is the pre-order for a forthcoming volume of Solo Leveling, and several previous volumes return to the top fifty this week. Rounding out this week's print debuts is the latest volume of Komi Can't Communicate.
• Kind of a muted University Effect so far this year: Persepolis moves up the chart, Understanding Comics returns this week, as do a couple of versions of Maus.

• The only print debut is a new volume of Kaiju No. 8.
• Somehow, calling a digital comic an Ashcan seems wrong to me...
