Commentary:  

• It's the last Friday Amazon comics chart before Christmas, and it comes with a few oddities:
• The top five—led by Dog Man: Big Jim Believes—are the exact same as last week, in the same order. That's not completely unprecedented, but it is usual.
• There are no new titles on the chart this week either. Again, not unprecedented, especially as this time of year there are very few new high-profile collections and graphic novels being issued; and while there are the usual slate of new manga volumes and a few new collections from DC, Marvel, et al., none rise in sales to overtake tried-and-true gift-giving favorites. 
• The most unusual thing about this weeks comics chart though is that there are no Kindle editions on the chart this week. None. No single issues, no digital manga volumes, nothing. And it's not just the top fifty, as for the entire top 100 there were no Kindle entries at all. Is this a change in policy for the Amazon comics chart? A momentary glitch? Only time (and the next few weeks) will tell...
