Commentary:  

• Dog Man: The Scarlet Shedder stays at the top of the chart this week, once again just a few places ahead of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse on the overall Amazon books chart. 
• The top debut this week is the second issue of the latest X-Men reboot on Kindle.
• The top print debut is Dark Souls: Redemption, a manga-esque tie-in to the video game. Also debuting this week is the compact edition of All-Star Superman, and the pre-order for a Fantastic Four/Doom 2099 omnibus (due out in May 2025).
• A new college semester is almost upon us, with Persepolis creeping back up into the top five this week.
