Commentary:

* The number one movie = the number one graphic novel. The Wimpy Kid stays on top (and #64 overall), though the Oatmeal collection inches closer up to the #2 slot (with the Kindle edition rising to #32).

* Debuting in the top ten is the latest volume of The Complete Peanuts. Also debuting is the latest Dark Tower collection (Marvel only entry this week); and pre-orders for the upcoming Walking Dead and Superman: The Black Ring.

* A pretty good week for Vertigo collections, with three in the top fifteen.

* Dead Watch: The are twelve Walking Dead collections on the chart this week. Expect to see volume 14 shoot up into the top ten when it is actually released.

* The bottom of the list, Batman: Hush, is #2,547 on the overall chart.
