Commentary:  

• The latest Dog Man graphic novel, The Scarlet Shedder, was actually released a couple of weeks ago, but this is the first time it's shown up on this chart because apparently this is the week that Amazon decided to classify it as a regular graphic novel and not relegate it to the kids section. Which means that you can probably go in to the past several weeks (if not months) of this compilation and mentally slot it into the top spot. It also means that Amazon is likely to again classify it away from the regular chart at any time, but we'll endeavor to tracks it's sales and manually insert it if necessary.
• With the second season of the Invincible streaming series ending this week, Amazon viewer want to know What Happens Next and gobbled up the Compendia.
• Plenty of pre-orders for DC Kindle single issues this week due out on April 30, led by the 2024 Nightwing Annual.
• On deep discount this week were the Kindle editions of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, Beginnings collections. 
• A handful more big debuts this week: I Survived the Battle of D-Day, 1944; and pre-orders for upcoming new volumes of Jujutsu Kaisen and Sarah's Scribbles; all of which I expect we'll see on the chart for weeks to come as well.
