Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* Even the new deep discounts are not enough to push Scott Pilgrim ahead of the new Wimpy Kid at #1 (#8 overall). It does however push them up on the overall list to #17, #19, #20, #24 & #25.

* A surprise debut, with a highly discounted pre-order for a BPRD hardcover compendium coming in at #7 on the list and #85 overall. The other debuts this week belong to pre-orders for a new Naruto volume, a new Walking Dead hardcover, and a new Witch & Wizard graphic novel from James Patterson.

* The final item on the list clocks in at #3,293 overall, more-or-less on par with last week (okay, slightly less).

anything that has some sort of movie out right now is going to do better. Sometimes I wish it would be a bit reverse... the great graphic novels get good movies :D

I never had a bit of interest in the dairy of a wimpy kid.
