Commentary:

* No one can stop The Wimpy Kid! He is #1 on the overall Amazon chart, beating out even Steve Jobs.

* Amazon has Brian Selznick's Wonderstruck at the #2 slot on their graphic novel chart, but I have decided that it is not a graphic novel. I realize that it is a fine line between that and the Wimpy Kid books (and their ilk), and that some people would count both as comics, and others would count neither. But for the purposes of these charts, those are the determinations that I am going with.

* Dead Watch: Just nine Walking Dead titles in the top 50 this week.

* The only debut this week is Walt Disney's Donald Duck: "Lost in the Andes," the first entry in Fantagraphics Complete Carl Barks Library series.
