Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid stays on the top once again, but slips to #36 on the overall chart.

* Kindle editions of Dork Diaries & Odd Is On Our Side remain popular for post-holiday purchasing.

* It must be the start of a new college semester, as books like Maus, Persepolis, Fun Home, Understanding Comics, and Watchmen all see double digit jumps up the chart.

* There are no new titles on the chart this week..

* Dead Watch: Only nine Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, with every volume showing some slippage; though the latest collection stays in the top ten.

* The bottom of the list this week is #3,882 overall, a serious slide from the previous weeks.
