Commentary:  

• The pre-order for Dog Man: Big Jim Begins returns to the top of the chart this week.
• Last week's top seller, the debut issue of Absolute Batman, falls only three spots this week. This is kind of amazing, as most Kindle single issues drop out of the top fifty after a single week on the chart. With the pre-orders for the debuts of Absolute Superman and Absolute Wonder Woman also charting this week, this whole Absolute line from DC may have some legs (at least short term...)
• We're not sure why The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse disappeared from the chart last week. Since it is doubtful that sales took such a sudden one-week dip, it is likely that either Amazon temporarily reclassified it; or (more likely) we just messed up last week and forgot to include it.
• This week's top debut is a new issue of Uncanny X-Men. The top print debut is a new volume of the manga Dandadan. Also debuting this week are Gou Tanabe's The Call of Cthulhu adaptation; the pre-order for the next volume of Solo Leveling; a Heartstopper box set; and a new volume of Katie the Catsitter.
