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:

* The Walking Dead stays at #1 this week (and is #70 overall). Most of the rest of the top ten is dominated by The Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries.

* If you're wondering what all those Disney/Pixar/Muppets books from Boom! are doing on the chart, it's because they are all heavily discounted at 60% or more. Seriously, how could you not buy a copy of Roger Langridge's first Muppet Show collection for just $3.85?

* The only other debuts this week are the latest volumes of Irredeemable and Black Bird.

* If you are wondering why there will be very little change in the DCnU versions of the Batman and Green Lantern books, look no further than this chart; they're the only DC super-hero properties that appear.
