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:

* For the third week in a row we have a new number one, as the imminent release of the next Walking Dead collection climbs up to the top spot.

* Debuting in the top slot is the collection of Kate Beaton's Webcomic Hark! A Vagrant. Other debuts are Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Lost Adventures; Jim Woodring's Congress of the Animals; and Linda Medley's first Castle Waiting collection.

* There's a bit of splash up for Green Lantern titles which may be due to the movie, though the release of a new collection (in this case, Green Lantern: Brightest Day) often has the same effect on the backlist without a movie.
